6 Best Activities In Livingston

6 family-friendly attractions in Livingston, Edinburgh and Lothian

One place in Livingston is built to take a whole day; the rest are built to take two hours. Almond Valley Heritage Trust is the first kind, with animals, room to move and enough going on that nobody asks what happens next. Innoflate Livingston, Paradise Island Adventure Golf Livingston and Spacebugs at Craigwoods are the second kind, and they are the reason a washed-out Saturday here is still salvageable.

Give the outdoor half of the day the better weather and let the roofed options mop up whatever is left. There are enough of them that an afternoon indoors is a choice rather than a defeat.

Visiting Livingston with kids: FAQs

What suits a toddler in Livingston?

Spacebugs at Craigwoods is indoor play at the right scale for that age, and Almond Valley Heritage Trust works too, since animals and open ground ask very little of a small child. Our listing puts the heritage trust down as having cover as well as open ground, handy when a morning has to be rewritten at short notice.

Where do older children want to go?

Livingston Skate Park is the outdoor listing aimed at that age and it costs nothing in planning, though it does depend on the weather. Innoflate Livingston does the same job under cover, and it tends to hold children who consider themselves too old for soft play. Both are better as the middle of a day than the whole of one.

Is there enough for a whole weekend?

There is enough for a full day and a decent second afternoon. Six listings sit under the town, five of them with indoor space, and they do not overlap as much as the count suggests. Build Saturday around the heritage trust, then treat Sunday as a pick-one affair from adventure golf, inflatables and indoor play.
