Craigtoun Country Park

About

Craigtoun Country Park is a 47‑acre playground just two miles from the historic town of St Andrews, offering a blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and family‑friendly fun. The park is open 24/7, but the seasonal paid attractions run from Easter to October, with daily operating hours of 10:30 am to 5:00 pm on weekends and holiday weekends. Visitors can explore free gardens, the Adventure Playground, the Fairy Glen, and the Dutch Village, while the paid rides – including the Puffin’ Billy tractor, the Rio Grande railway, and the Go‑Karts – cater to all ages. The on‑site Craigtoun Café opens daily from 10 am to 4 pm and extends to 5 pm when the attractions are running, offering a variety of hot and cold refreshments. Tickets for seasonal attractions can be purchased at the Ticket Office or online, and a range of annual passes provides unlimited access and discounts at the café and shop. The park is fully wheelchair‑accessible, featuring a Changing Places facility, accessible paths, and dedicated wheelchair bays. With its mix of free and fee‑based activities, wide range of play zones, and historic setting, Craigtoun is ideal for family outings, history buffs, and nature lovers alike. The park also offers a range of mini‑activities such as Crazy Golf, Putting, Bouncy Castles, and Touch Tennis, making it a year‑round destination regardless of the weather, provided the boat is not operating in restoration years.
