The underwater environments at Sea Life Loch Lomond Aquarium (five minutes’ drive) include a Lochs of Scotland tank, highlighting native species, and a tropical ocean tunnel. There are also rockpools where kids can get up close and personal with starfish and shrimp, plus a trio of cheeky otters. There is more wildlife (of the winged type this time) at Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre (five minutes). Here you can have close encounters with owls and hawks, and learn about other resident raptors and their habits during flying shows held in a woodland arena. Kids might like to spend some time looking for magical winged creatures on the Fairy Trail at Balloch Castle Country Park (10 minutes). There’s lots more to see in these 200 acres of woodland and parkland on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, including a series of formal gardens.
