One of our favourite places to hang out with the animals in Scotland is Auchingarroch in Comrie, mainly because of all the baby animals (baby chicks! baby chicks! I want to squash em and squeeze em and hug em and love em!...) Lots of animals to see from the coatimundi to the racoons, wildcats, lemurs, pigs, rabbits, ponies, yaks and various other cute and fluffy things. The hatchery indoors has animals that can be handled like rabbits as well as all the baby chicks (baby chicks! .... here we go again...)
A hike up the hill to see the otters leads on to the deer and beyond there is a great viewpoint, worth a trip up here for the view alone, and a chance to see the famous tartan sheep on the way down.
Pony riding was £2.50 for a trip twice round a pretty small field wasn't nearly as great as it could have been, given the amount of space in the unused field next door, so we were a bit disappointed with that. But nice to see it offered and kids enjoyed it.
Also missing were all the prairie dogs which used to burrow everywhere and steal your picnic - wasn't quite the same without them, sadly.
Lots of outdoor stuff in the park and crazy golf, and lots of space for picnics, and a new soft play area for the under 7s in a covered barn. The barn for the over 7s is a bit neglected with hardly any play equipment so this could do with a makeover.
All in all a good day out, but over priced without a voucher to soften the blow!
