    Such a wonderful and beautiful place to visit. 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.

    Visiting 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.

    One of the most fun things we’ve done. 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.

    The driving experience was excellent - laps in a Formula One style racing car preceded by circuit familiarisation in an Alpine with an instructor. Without exception, every member of staff was really friendly, helpful and did their best to ensure a fun, worthwhile session.

    We 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.

    We 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.

    Total 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.

    Fife 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 too
