Dean Castle & Country Park Visitor Centre and Cafe

Dean Castle Country Park is a fantastic free day out for all the family. The country park, covering over 200 acres, is nestled in the heart of Kilmarnock and offers something for the whole family to enjoy.

Drop in to the Rural Life Centre where you can learn more about sustainable living and enjoy some beautiful woodland walks, learning more about the history of the estate and spotting local wildlife along the way.

Children can run wild in the adventure playground and explore the Urban Farm to meet our farm animals.

Drop into the Visitor Centre to relax in the café while enjoying views over the country park and pick up a souvenir of your visit from the gift shop.

The Country Park has an extensive events programme throughout the year too – from pond dipping and nature walks with the Countryside Rangers to Harvest Festivals, family fun days and more!
