I visited today along with two friends and their young children. We had been looking forward to visiting an attraction which promised to offer something for everyone; walks, gardens and a play area. We began with lunch which was the only highlight. The visitor centre felt dated and poorly conceived. The gardens must have been attractive earlier in the year however the autumn plantings were tired looking. My main issue however was the play equipment and general safety for young children. The play equipment was dirty, broken and badly designed. Each piece was homemade and created from leftovers such as bannisters and oil drums. As the play area is under trees each piece was covered in rotting vegetation which made the wood slippery and even more dangerous. I actually work with children and as part of that need to write risk assessments in preparation for visits to attractions like this. I would not be able to bring children that i was responsible for to a place such as this as I would be very concerned that injuries were highly likely.

Toilet facility are clean and tidy.they have nice garden walks.was a bit disappointed with the Celtic path but in all was a good day out

Went here with my 8 and 5 year old on a lovely day. Including lunch we were there for 3 hours but could have stayed longer. Plenty of different parks to keep the kids amused and the nature walks are worth ago as well. Overall a good day out.

we had a great day out with the kids in May. Sun wasn't really making an appearance and there were drizzles here and there, but nothing stopped the kids from having fun. Wellies and raincoats and off they went. We mainly played in the woodlands - never made it to the estate. The facilities there were brilliant - creative spaces in nature for kids is the best way for them to play and run around. The huge pirate ship and trains were a big hit. There was an exhibit of "dolls from around the world" inside the visitor center which was very educational. The "three sisters cafe" served great homemade food, though it does get quite busy at times. We managed to find a seat indoors just as the drizzles came down. The kids loved the homemade ice cream! All in all a wonderful day out. We are hoping to return again soon, this time to see the estate!

It is very good place for family weekend. Enough of attractions, you have a choice of nice and tidy time on the lawn or more active time in the forest. Plenty tables for some food. Not sure about such a good time if rains (we were lucky to have a hot and sunny day).Just one WC in the middle of it - can be tricky with small children. Changing facilities are in information centre, which can be closed early.Anyway, I'll visit it for many times in the future, I believe

What a brilliant estate to take the kids to - plenty to do and even a nice wee coffee and cake to have at the 3 sisters bake! Can't wait to go back we had a wonderful time!

Enjoyed a fantastic day out with a 4 and 7 year old. They had a great time using their imagination to invent games on the available train/ship/slides. There were also great trails to explore the woodland We could easily have spent a whole day there. Well worth the entrance fee.

My wife & I took three of our grandchildren aged 6 to 11 and a neighbour with her little 5 year old girl, as we walked through the woods we entered clearing after clearing in which the estate had built large wooden fun replicas with slides and ropes ,as follows, a pirate ship , a double decker tram, a double decker bus, two different american style forts, wooden wigwams, zip wire , slides , climbing frame, swings even had places to have bbqs, and wooden crazy paths and ladders, the kids were enthralled , they had a great time ,picnic tables and benches as well were we sat and had our picnic lunch, we were amazed at the very reasonable and realistic admission prices definately a place to visit again, we were there for about 5 hrs and did not see it all, we didnt get to see the lovely walled garden properly, but we will definately be back .My sincere thanks to the clan MacMillan for creating such a lovely place to go,brilliantly creative.

Renfrewshire Girlguiding recently held a large scale event at Finlaystone Estate to celebrate 100 years of Brownies. Around 700 girls and Leaders enjoyed a fun day out Exploringthe Nature Trail, Den Building with the Rangers, Hunting for Treasure and playing in the very well equipped Adventure Playground. The weather could have been better but the Brownies were too busy having fun to notice! Finlaystone was chosen to host our 100th Birthday Event because of it's scenic location and its easy access for our members. In addition to what the Estate itself has to offer we were allowed to use other beautiful parts of the grounds to site additional activities such as a Circus Marquee, RSNO Orchestra Workshop, Dance & Fitness Tent etc. We were even allowed to site a huge Carousel on the private driveway of the Macmillan family who own the Estate!The highlight, and biggest surprise of the day, was the opportunity for the Brownies to plant a tree in "Brownie Wood" as a permanent memento of their 100th Birthday! For years to come the girls will be able to revisit Finlaystone and chart the progress of their very own tree! This very special activity was arranged by the Macmillan Family and the Rangers and was greatly appreciated by the Brownies and Leaders.Finlaystone is a beautiful Estate in a fantastic location and offers a wide variety of Activities for all ages to enjoy. It is well worth a visit this summer!
