The Helix park is home to the striking Kelpies, two 30 foot high stainless steel sculptures by Andy Scott. You can’t miss the huge horse-like braying heads of the two kelpies, which are based on mythical Scottish creatures. You can get a closer look, and even explore inside the sculptures on a tour from the visitor centre.

With pedalo boats, cycle paths and an adventure playpark there is lots to keep young ones busy – and if you bring a towel and change of clothes you could even have fun getting soaked in the splash play area!
