Features

Castle: Teeming with history and surrounded by mountains, Brodick is every inch the quintessential island castle. Explore the castle during our new self-guided visitor experience, which focuses on the fascinating stories of the people who lived here. There are several interactive activities, including our Victorian arcade where you can race a horse on our roll-a-derby or play other traditional Victorian games. These activities, combined with special lighting and audio, help bring the castle to life.
The gardens: Wander around our beautiful gardens and explore the new Silver Garden Trail and Plant Hunters’ Walk. You can also learn about our fascinating early history in a reconstructed Bronze Age roundhouse. Featuring a new border design and full of exotic and delicate plants, the walled garden provides a sheltered site in which to grow and develop plants that are rarely seen growing outdoors in Scotland.
Isle Be Wild: The Isle Be Wild adventure play park is ideal for explorers of all ages to enjoy – one section is for toddlers and younger children and one is for older children. This epic woodland playground features zip wires, high towers, bridges across burns and jungle-style walkways – a real paradise for our younger visitors. The play park also includes the Red Squirrel Kiosk, perfect for tasty ice creams, hot dogs and hot/cold drinks.
