What they say
Weehailes, our adventure play park, has been specially developed for younger children and is themed on the Newhailes story. Inspired by the story of the house and its important role in the Scottish Enlightenment, the play park has a book-related theme centred around the ‘library’, complete with stained glass windows. Turrets, slides and high-level walkways provide lots of opportunities for children to explore and have fun!
The play area is designed for children aged 3–12 but children aged 0–15 are admitted.
