SEA LIFE Loch Lomond has its Ascarium event taking place from the 11th with all its spooky goings on and activities. Find out more and book here.
Go Wild Loch Lomond is open throughout the holidays for fun tree top adventures and you can book online on their website to make sure you’ve guaranteed your place. However, remember you can turn up and ask about slots while you’re here.
While it might be getting cooler, you can still have fun on Loch Lomond with Loch Lomond Leisure. Choose from SUP, pedal boats, canoes, boat tours, speedboat rides and more. Or, if you’d prefer, hire a bike and go explore the wider area. You can check out what’s on offer and book on their website: lochlomond-scotland.com
Visit Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre, located half-way down the car parks on the main path. Find out more and see a huge array of eagles, owls, falcons, kestrels and hawks. Flying shows take place daily and no need to book, just turn up. The centre is open from 10am to 5pm daily.

We’ll also have children’s rides on site from 11th to 20th October, near the playpark and SEA LIFE. These will be open from 11am to 5pm (weather dependent).
Top Dogs on Saturday the 18th of October offers fun for the whole family, including four-legged members. New for this Top Dogs is performances from the amazing Drakes of Hazard at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.30pm in the meadow at our promontory area, accessed by the path beside Go Wild Loch Lomond. There will also be the usual popular competitions, and all things doggie, including doggie market, pet photography, canine nutritionist and training advice. For the humans we’ll have market stalls with gifts and fresh produce as well as delicious street food to keep everyone fuelled. For the competitions you can choose from eleven categories, including puppy, veteran, sporting, non-sporting, most handsome dog, prettiest bitch, best condition, best mover, best rescue, best crossbreed, and an open category for all dogs with registration taking place between 10am and 12pm. Competitions start at 12pm with more information on timings available at registration.
Loch Lomond Shores Market is back on the 19th from 10am to 4pm with a great range of stalls featuring everything from artisan gifts to delicious fresh produce, as well as street food.
As well as all these fun family activities, we also have our woodland walks, playpark and beaches for outdoor autumn fun as well as all our stores, with their new stock arriving daily, so you can combine family fun and some retail fun.
And last, but by no means least, our other cafes – Café Zest and Caffe at the Shores – as well as the Churros Box, will make sure that everyone gets enough fuel for their family day out!
