We visited with children aged 8, 10 and 12 and had a brilliant few hours here. There is absolutely loads to keep children of all ages entertained including a toddler area, sensory boardwalk, Jedburgh Abbey inspired play frame, huge slides, trampolines and interactive play equipment. There are lots of musical areas and inviting places to climb or touch. Honestly, it's brilliant. There are a few picnic tables but these were all taken during our trip so I'd advise bringing a camping chair or picnic blanket if you visit on a nice day. The views of the countryside are pretty lovely too. I hope you like my pictures.

There's a cafe in the visitor centre (check opening hours before visiting) and I was really impressed. Expect indoor and outdoor seating and everything to be homemade. We only spent £25 on lunch for 5 including drinks which is really good for us. We sat in the back courtyard which had a little sandpit for the kids to play in. You'll find a few other local businesses on-site too - it's a lovely little hub. You'll find the loos in the visitor centre too.
If you're looking for a place to enjoy a free/low-cost day out or somewhere to stop on the way to Scotland, I highly recommend checking Harestanes out.

Looks great. My older one is 15 but still loves to climb, would he be ok? And are there areas WITHOUT dogs as he has ASD and is frightened of all dogs unless he knows them very very well.
