Heads Of Ayr Farm Park

We went to the Heads of Ayr Farm Park on our recent holiday to Scotland. Which was nice but drastically overpriced. It was a ten minute walk from the caravan in Craig Tara Holiday Park we were staying in.  We drove, however, so our coats and picnic were nearer.

We got there good and early and the kids played on the adventure playground before it got busier on the equipment later on. The kids found special tokens in the sand to get a prize from the gift shop. David optimistically wanted a £15 wolf teddy but it was only choccy coins on offer.

They had all the animals you'd expect and you could feed most of them. Then there were the smaller ones and they could hold a few. And they had this fantastic Guinea pig town with dozens of pigs living in little buildings.

All quite fun but we paid less than £10 for all of us at the Acorn Farm in Kirkby A few weeks ago. But being right next to a holiday park I can't imagine many families not going to it...

Dean Castle and Country Park

We went to Dean Castle and Country Park which was great and free.

 

It had animals and even a big pile of fallow deer, the buck would even eat out of your hand - we only had grass for him.

 

You could only go in part of the castle but there was armour and weapons for the kids to try on. It absolutely tipped down on our way back to the car which, I suppose, was good timing :-)

 

Free Cinema Tickets

Today I received my cinema ticket win. Its two tickets for cineworld. It is a win from Dr Pepper's Pepperhood promotion. I'm going to have a look and see what I can take the Mrs to see. We've got until March next year to decide.
