To help you build your activity calendar, we've found some amazing things to do in Dundee, Edinburgh and Dunfermline - and it won't cost you as much as you think.
In fact, train tickets for the wee ones will only set you back £1 return each. By using ScotRail's Kids for a Quid, you can take the train with the family and enjoy a budget-friendly day out anywhere you fancy.
Kids for a Quid tickets are all-year-round too, so you don't have to save a blam day out for the school holidays!
To take advantage of this great deal, buy your ticket from the booking office or on the train. Kids for a Quid tickets are available with most adult tickets, including ScotRail Advance single tickets, Season Tickets and Flexipass. You can get up to four Kids for a Quid tickets with every paying adult.
Travelling by train is a great way to do your bit to combat climate change. Learning about looking after the planet by making low-carbon choices at a young age is totally blamtastic.
