Rough Castle Experiences - Falkirk

Bekki Cochrane

I would give this a miss. The food was insanely over prices (£5 for a small hot chocolate & cream). The trail was very muddy and no effort had.been made to make the path safer for the amount of walking and standing it was taking over a short period of time mixed with a lot of rain. The "light show" was amazingly poor, a couple of lights partially lighting up a tree. For £12 per adult this was not worth it at all. Avoid at all costs and save your money.
The Falkirk wheel was beautifully lit up.

We went today 4/8/23, Baz the instructor was brilliant. Aidan (13) and I (oldish at 51), had a great time. I started off nervous but quickly got the hang of it thanks to Baz. Aidan said he had the best day. We are still buzzing, thank you 😊

Really disappointing. Definitely not worth the money. A few random lights scattered around does not create a magical experince. Left standing in the middle of the walk for over 15 minutes waiting on santa ? Amanda the elf did try to brighten the crowd however by this time spirits were dampened and beyond repair. Food trucks were ok and the rides were a good way of making it up to my 2 very disappointed kids. I would not recommend this at the price they are charging. I think it was an absolute rip off.

Was really looking forward to this and was majorly disappointed, as were the kids. Not well organised or signposted at all from the Boardwalk side. Long muddy path with a few lights and music. 2 reindeer. Tiny sweet and photo with Santa. Amusements and food majorly overpriced. Not worth the money at all. Wouldn’t do it again.

Went to the light experience. It was an experience. Had to prebook a space, paid £55 for me and my family. So we turned up 10 mins early as was suggested and we got told that we wouldn't be taken on time due to people not adhering to the pre-booked times. One member of staff even told us people weren't even turning up on the right day. So we had to wait about 45 mins with a 1 year old in the cold when we spoke to staff about it we got told it wasn't their fault and they couldn't control when people came in. Finally we got in and the lights were a few coloured spot lights on a tree. You have to walk up a dark slippery path. Santa and the elves were good and they had reindeers which were cool. But certainly not worth the money there are far better Christmas events that you can spend your money on.

Any one considering Rough Castle Christmas Miracle, do yourself a favour and don't go. Absolutely rubbish. Nothing to see except santa and two reindeer. No miracle, and you get a sweetie, I mean one sweetie, on exit. All the rides, well, the 4 there, are £3 each and a coffee sets you back a fiver.

The path isn't a winter Wonderland. It has some lights and lots, and lots, then a bit more mud.

Absolutely a waste of money and time

Brilliant family night out at 'LEGION' They opened up a world of history and exploration. All the staff, stewards, caterers and especialy the actors were fantastic . Well done!

Would have been good in reindeer handlers had waited for all the people starting the walk to get round. Thought the Elves were great
