We often wait for summer or at least some warm weather to have fun adventures outside, but the weather shouldn't be the thing stopping us from enjoying ourselves. There may not be that much to look forward to in January, and our budgets are a bit tight after the holidays.
That's why VisitScotland have come up with a solution – they're offering 50% off selected tours and attractions until the 18th of February, encouraging you to have more winter days out.
There are so many different activities included in the offer – from escape rooms to wildlife centres; there truly is something for everyone. Whether you want to have a family day out or spend some quality time with friends, you can enjoy yourself now and stop waiting for good weather.
Where to start?
Go on a culture hunt and visit David Livingstone Birthplace Museum, showcasing his life. In addition to the Livingstone and Lion sculptures, the museum is surrounded by 11 acres of beautiful parkland and a new play park modelled on Livingstone's steamboat. If you fancy a bit of a thrill, go to Air Thrill East Kilbride - Scotland's biggest and best Inflatable & trampoline park.
The last and most important step is to enjoy yourself! To see the full range of activities featured in Lanarkshire, visit the VisitScotland website and then click to filter what kind of experience you want. Each business has listed a discount code or how you can contact them to book.
