Landmark Forest Adventure Park

Overview

Set in native Caledonian pinewoods at Carrbridge, this long‑running (since 1970) adventure park blends classic family fun with a genuine Highland woodland feel. Think water coasters and high ropes woven through tall pines, with indoor curveballs like the quirky Bamboozeleum and a tropical Butterfly House when the weather turns.

Highlights

• Dinosaur Kingdom with life‑size, animated dinos that kids adore.
• Wild Water Coasters for splashy thrills unique in the area.
• RopeworX high ropes and the Tree Top Trail among the pines.
• The Bamboozeleum’s mind‑bending illusions and interactive oddities.
• A tropical Butterfly House teeming with color.
• A tall forest tower/lookout for sweeping Cairngorms views.
• Net adventure zones and play areas to burn energy between rides.

Nature & Wildlife

You’re not in a car park‑wrapped theme park here—woodland trails thread through the site. Keep an eye out along the Red Squirrel Trail for the Highlands’ native red squirrels, and expect woodland birds all around. Inside the hot‑house, hundreds of butterflies put on the show.

Who Will Love It

Families with mixed ages get the most out of Landmark thanks to its variety: splash rides, ropes courses scaled for different abilities, hands‑on illusions, and gentle nature walks. Dedicated thrill‑seekers hunting for extreme rides may find the day lighter on adrenaline—but heavier on fun.

Food, Facilities & Practicalities

There are on‑site places to eat and grab snacks, plus a gift shop for souvenirs. Restrooms and parking are available, and there’s Wi‑Fi on site. Dogs are welcome in most outdoor areas, which is handy if you’re touring with a four‑legged companion.

How Long To Spend

Plan for up to 4 hours if you sample a bit of everything; families often stretch it to most of a day by repeating favorites and mixing in slower moments on the trails and indoors.

Best Time to Visit

• Aim for weekdays outside school holidays for calmer vibes.
• Arrive right at opening to hit the Wild Water Coasters and RopeworX before lines build.
• Saturdays peak around midday to early afternoon; mornings and late afternoons are easier.
• Save indoor spots (Bamboozeleum, Butterfly House) for cool or rainy spells.

Tips

• Dress for Highland weather and water rides—layers and a spare top go a long way.
• Use the woodland trails and Butterfly House as crowd‑free breathers between headline rides.
• If you’re basing in Aviemore, look out for accommodation packages that include tickets.
