Scone Palace in Perthshire is offering free tickets for children until 15 August.
The palace is a treasure trove of history, nature and fun for children of all ages with a blend of historic storytelling and outdoor adventure.
Children aged 15 and under can step into the past for free as they stand where Scottish kings like Charles II were crowned on Moot Hill and pose for a photo on the mock Stone of Destiny. Inside the palace a treasure hunt has been set up with a small prize to be won.
The Palace grounds provide plenty of space for children to run, explore, and play. With over 100 acres of gardens and woodlands to discover, there’s no shortage of fresh air and freedom. The grounds feature an adventure playground, the Murray star- Maze, and a chance to spot local wildlife including butterflies, squirrels, and the famous vibrant peacocks that roam the estate.
All food in the coffee shop is prepared using ingredients from the Palace’s Kitchen Garden. Diners can choose from baked goods, soups and children’s lunchboxes. A gift shop sells books and toys as souvenirs to take home at the end of the day.There are events such as Falconry Fridays on 11 July and 15 August and Circus Workshops taking place on 24 July.
The Kids Go Free promotion runs daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm between 30 June and 15 August 2025. Tickets can be booked online or purchased at the gate. With something for everyone, from history lovers and nature enthusiasts to energetic little explorers, Scone Palace is an ideal summer day out for families.
