"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. The 14th century castle currently closed for renovations was the home and stronghold of the Boyd family for over 400 years. Visit 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. Events take place throughout the year and there is a Cafe and Visitor Centre on site"

What a beautiful place. Sadly, the kids park was out of bounds when we visited, but there was still plenty to keep us interested. I'm on crutches, and really had to walk a lot too much actually after parking the car. It would be useful if we could maybe hire disability scooters? The disabled toilet was impressive, with a hoist & shower, and changing table for larger kids/adults. The wee cafe is quite reasonably priced which we appreciated. We'd definitely recommend a visit, esp on a dry day! Take some bird seed, or grapes for ducks.

It was a fantastic sunny day and we thought we would go a walk to Dean Park. On arrival we went to the cafe for lunch and a drink which was excellent. We then left the cafe to go on our adventure, seeing the animals, playing in the park which was clean and tidy, having lots of fun in the process. Will definitely be back keep up the great work everyone. Thank you.

We only visited here to break up a journey but looks like a fab place to go regularly. Loads of space, walks, a kids playground, pigs, ducks, deer and squirrels. Wish we had more time to explore. The castle itself was closed. I would love to see around it!

Being from Campbeltown, a fair bit away, I never knew this place existed! So glad I took the time to go.  There’s two areas, both massive. They both have kids entertainment. There’s a cool petting zoo with pigs although we didn’t get to touch them as we went just after 8pm. It’s a lovely walk and we all enjoyed it. Will be going again tomorrow early noon for a better look.  The only downfall I had was of the dragon sculpture made out of metal as it’s rusted and someone could easily get hurt on it.

Great place to walk. Pathways and grounds are well maintained. Parking is available.  Cafe and information centre near the main entrance to the Park. Prepackaged sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks are available. Staff also serve freshly made soup, tea and coffee. The cafe and facilities are clean. Staff in the centre are approachable and customer service is very good.  Some maintainance to the castle and grounds is taking place. The castle and some paths are not currently accessible. A visit to East Ayrshire Council's website should reveal information about ongoing work and projected completion dates.

Nice Park and castle not open as major work on-going. Lots of paths in the woods and dog friendly too, including the cafe outside seating area.

Brilliant walk with my dog, lots of animals to see for the kids and history. Great cafe with fantastic service

I took my neice and nephew up to take part in the treasure hunt with the park rangers and they had a great time. Was a lot of fun. Afterwards we had a picnic at the play park and then went down to the river's edge and the kids had a great time paddling and skimming stones. Such a great day out. Thank you very much to the park rangers and looking forward to the den building and raft building days out

Lovely festive themed experience.  Only need to spend money if you fancy a pancake girls enjoyed these or a hot chocolate.  Well done Dean Castle

Parking Free to enter Nice walks Plenty seating Deer park and interesting historical info boards
