Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Peter GGlasgow, UK18 contributionsThis is an excellent little museum charting the life of the industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The house he was born in covers growing up in Dunfermline and his family's decision to emigrate, and the attached Memorial Hall deals with his time in America, his rise to being the world's richest man, and his legacy.
A museum about an industrialist might not be an obvious place to take the kids, but the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum won the coveted Britain's Family Friendly Museum Award in 2019, and rightly so as they make Carnegie's story accessible. And if I hadn't visited this museum I would never have known the connection between Carnegie and the Muppets!Written 23 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We found this whilst visiting the area of Dunfermline for a family event and it was just stunning. Lots of history to learn about and the kids loved it too.Written 30 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BraindamagedbaronNewark-on-Trent, UK928 contributionsVisiting Dunfermline and found this beautiful hidden gem. A gorgeous park with stunning short walks through woodland, past the old Abbey and church. A real pick-me-up and a breath of fresh air, literally.
The copious amounts of friendly squirrels are a pleasant surprise along the way.
Loved it.Written 25 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of time flying the hovercraft and great coaching to ensure you had the maximum fun.
Recommend to everyone.
Cannot think of any way it could be improved, exceeded our expectations.Written 19 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Without exception, every member of staff was really friendly, helpful and did their best to ensure a fun, worthwhile session.Written 15 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Iain AKirkcaldy, UK622 contributionsWe bought our tickets for the show at the ticket office in the Kingsgate Shopping Centre about five minutes away, but tickets were also available online. Lots of parking nearby on the night of the show and the stewards at the venue were efficient but unobtrusive. Our seat was on the lower level of the theatre with a great view of the stage. Decent leg room and comfortable seating, so not much to moan about. And the show “Get it on” was great fun.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- geismomSinking Spring, PA1,877 contributionsWe have been frequent visitors of Dunfermline in the past, but this newest addition is certainly something to rave about. The views from the upstairs galleries can't be beat, and there are even spaces for one to sit and relax and just gaze out the windows.
I noted in one room that there is a hook mounted on the wall that holds portable chairs, so one can take a seat, pop it up, and sit and rest while reading through the various information displays. So clever!
The upstairs features a time line through history pertaining to Dunfermline, and a very clever question and answer board. Also, artifacts that have been collected over time that pertain to the city as well.
In addition, there is a section devoted to the many contributions of Andrew Carnegie who was born in Dunfermline, and who gave away his fortune for the betterment of others.
There is also a cafe, and a gift shop, in addition to the huge library section that we never even entered!
I can't recommend this enough. There is no charge for admittance, and this is a perfect place to explore if you are a history buff.Written 20 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Olive R1 contributionExceptional show, incredibly talented kids limelight, always put on a good show. The auditorium was very warm so I did have to step outside during the intervalWritten 20 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nigel DEdinburgh, UK379 contributionsTotal surprise. Busy location with ample car parking five minutes from the centre of Dunfermline. We noted dog walkers and mums with prams plus others out for a scenic stroll.
There were also joggers and two men waterskiing despite ice on parts of the lake which is the national training site and home of Waterski and Wakeboard, Scotland.
Good walk and busy cafe.Written 11 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Craig OWishaw, UK469 contributionsFife leisure park has lots to choose from.
I would highly recommend the Carlton bingo club for a night out.
Bingo is brilliant. You can go home with more money than you come in with…. Some nights £1000 houses!
Excellent food too, and it’s cheap. Same with the bar, cheap and there’s a lounge area which is like a pub so you don’t get shusshed by the bingo professionals.
Huge arcade too. You must be over 18 to join as a member.
You can play bingo in a tablet instead of books which makes it really easy tooWritten 25 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
