The Falkirk Wheel is a remarkable and distinctive boat lift that was constructed in 2002 to link the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. This modern engineering feat features a rotating mechanism that raises vessels by 115ft from one canal to the other. Visitors can embark on boat trips departing from the lower basin, which pass through Roughcastle Tunnel before completing their return journey via the wheel.
What an amazing experience. The sun was shining. The trip was excellent. The Captain and Crew were knowledgeable and really funny. The engineering aspects were incredible and the views spectacular. Ended the trip with lunch at the Boardwalk. Highly recommend both.

For the mechanical-minded and water-loving sorts, this is a must visit. There are many family-oriented activities in and around the Falkirk Wheel. Great for a day out, as there is a cafeteria and store on site. There seems to be ample low cost parking. There is no other cost to visit, unless you take a boat ride on the Wheel and canal, or participate in one of the other on-site activities.

An astonishingly beautiful piece of engineering that's more like a work of art. The views from the top are fantastic. Don't forget to check out the light show in the Falkirk Tunnel a short distance along the Union Canal heading towards Edinburgh - magical.

The world first and only rotating boat lift. It’s a fantastic innovation and unique piece of boat lift to connect the surrounding Canals. Well worth the visit to explore the area and admire this amazing engineering work 🏴

I have lived here all my life and never been here. I wasn't disappointed. The boat ride was really interesting and was good to learn all about it. The crew were amazing and very knowledgeable. The views are spectacular. It is definitely something to experience. There is a cafe with outdoor seating so you can enjoy a coffee and cake whilst watching the wheel in action. And of course a gift shop with plenty of items. A great day out for all the family.

Really amazing! Very cool bit of engineering, and the park for the kids within the facility is fantastic. Caters really well to families and the amenities are well kept. Really looking forward to taking a canal boat down the Falkirk wheel in the future. Definitely recommend.

An original place to spend time with the family. It has a very large playground and the walk around the place is very good. You can see how the boats rise on the wheel to continue their journey through the canal. it is worth the visit. Don't miss the colored tunnel located in the upper part of the canal.

Stunning piece of engineering designed to raise and lower boats between (I hope I have this right) the Falkirk Canal and the Forth and Clyde canal. Getting to and walking all round the Wheel is free but you can pay to do a boat ride that takes you up and down in the wheel or you can just watch this happening. There's a large a friendly cafe there. Not very easy to access on public transport. I took a train from Edinburgh and cycled. I've included a video of the wheel in action.

A wonderful piece of architecture. I was full of admiration for how it worked and it still works very well. My journey here took me 5 hours, I was so happy that I finally managed to see it and the weather was good. I recommend spending time there with your family, There is a playground, a shooting range, and water balls and I plan to finish building water rockets for children to shoot at. Inside there is a shop, 1 large restaurant and a stand for buying sandwiches and coffee, toilets and beautiful works of local artists. The area has 2 access roads, 3 large parking lots, and pedestrian and bicycle paths. The entire area is green, but wear a warm jacket or sweatshirt because sometimes it is windy and you will be cold. I recommend it, I will come here again.
The price of parking is favorable, see the photo in the gallery how much it costs to park.

Went to visit the Falkirk Wheel in January 2024. Unfortunately the wheel was under maintenance work but most of the wheel was lit up and we were still able to visit and see the wheel. Lots of fun too. Also huge respect’s to the owners of the site as there was maintenance happening the car park was permitted as free. Huge thanks to the respects there!

Lovely site,something I've wanted to see for sometime. We were able to park beside the shop being a blue badge holder! As the cafe was packed we bought the most amazing hot chocolate from the mobile coffee van, delicious!

As a tourist destination this has everything you expect. Expensive coffee, expensive food a gift shop and something to look at.
To be fair, parking is free and there is lots for the kids to do, just happens that we're adults so I have to be fair in review.
The kids playground was nice and if you wanted to avoid paying parking at The Kelpies they are just a 90 minute walk along the canal.
It was interesting to see the Wheel spin but unfortunately due to high winds boat tours were not running.
If it's your first time in Scotland, got kids with you or you're particularly interested in Canals this place is an obligatory stop.

Great engineering matter. Must see near to Edinburgh, Stirling or Glasgow. Wait for moving, a ship flows in, the carousel moves and the ship is high above you and goes on direction glasgow. Great experience. I also recommend taking more time for a longer walking around the wheel. The nature scenes with views are beautiful, good for your healthy and they are amazing places for your photography. After walking don't hesitate to refresh yourself by a coffee in restaurant next to wheel.

We recently visited her in May half term, we managed to get parked fairly easily, there is a charge for the car park. The wheel itself is very interesting to see, we booked for a ride on the boat up the wheel and along part of the canal and back. It was reasonably priced and you receive information about the wheel and history of canals on board. We really enjoyed it as a family.
We also played on the water balls on the surrounding water which the children loved and the little boats. The staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait long. There was also a play park there.
There was other activities you could book there such as bike hire and archery however we didn't book these.
There was toilets, food and coffee vans as well as a shop for souvenirs.
We had a fab few hours here and would definitely recommend a visit.
Victoria Topping — Google review
If you are into amazing engineering then this is a must see if you're anywhere nearby. Essentially it is a boat lift which lifts canal boats from the lower canal up 35m to a higher canal via a huge wheel, thus avoiding the need for multiple locks. Plenty of information and a visitor centre, plus well laid out canal side walks linking various places of interest and local towns and villages. Very interesting.
Steve Mann — Google review
An engineering marvel and must see , enjoy a trip on barge (do book it) or just walk around the park. Walk to the top and see the barges load up , you can also walk though the tunnel and over the top back. At the bottom there’s a kids water play area (see pics) and you can also hire SUPS.

Good signposts to get to the car park. ANPR is used for the car parking. Drop off is free, take the ticket at the barrier, drive down, drop off, drive back to the barrier, scan the ticket and drive out. 20 minutes is the limit.
Payment for parking is via ticket validation at the yellow machines, card only.
This is an amazing piece of engineering and physics. We managed to get tickets for the last trip of the day, which was just a full rotation of the wheel as there was not enough time to have the full trip before the attraction closed. The guides on they trip boat were fantastic, they were informative, funny and ensured everyone was safe and enjoyed the trip.
There are quite a few activities around the area including the Antonine Wall, the canal tunnel, walking trails, water balls, shooting range, a playground or you can just watch the boats.
Inside the visitor centre there are information boards on how and where the wheel was made and built. There’s also a restaurant, a gift shop, toilets and a parking payment machine.
It’s well worth a visit, we can’t wait to go back to do the full trip, but this time book a trip time in advance.
Dave Holland — Google review
We visited on a wet day but this meant it was quiet, great gift shop and cafe and you can book a boat trip to experience the wheel in motion. Really is worth watching it in action. Lots of side attractions to spend more time. Free to see the wheel and only needed to pay for parking, £3 for as long as you needed, definitely worth a visit.
Sarah Welek — Google review
It wasn’t very clear how the place works. We looked around for ticket prices or times for things but wasn’t easy so sort of gave up. Tried to play mini golf but couldn’t get the kit. Other people were playing and we went to the hire place and it said golf was opening soon go there, but golf had a sign to go to hire. Gave it 10 mins and gave up as patience of a nearly 3 year old is thin 😂
Everything looked closed so maybe just bad timing. Looks like in the summer could be really good. Visited April Easter holidays.

An amazing feat of engineering. We were given a lot of information by one of the staff a really well worth trip. Unfortunately, when we were there, the basin was drained whilst they undertook engineering work. Buy still worth the trip.

Excellent solo visit midweek during half term. Admired watching the wheel operate from the hill (near segway) before descending to the visitor center. Grabbed a delicious macaroni cheese for lunch, the cafe was buzzing, lovely friendly staff. Booked the last 90 min wheel boat ride. There was clearly lots of activities to keep you busy, but I just admired this marvel of engineering and its many photographic opportunities. The tour was great and well worth doing. Something quite surreal about ascending and descending silently afloat. Plenty of parking, clean, ample toilet facilities, cafe and coffee bar with indoor seating, and gift shop.

Although we have been a few times, the weather was good enough for us to pretend we were tourists and it didn't disappoint!
We went with our now 6 year old son. There were plenty of activities for him. He chose to do the wee paddling boats, and then we played with the archimedes water pumps, which im so glad are back in action! Super cute! Then we went into the playing area until it was our time for the boat trip.
The ticket was a bit pricey, but we thoroughly enjoyed it! The guy doing the commentary was funny and engaging. Got some stunning photos!
100% recommended to both tourists and non-tourists! #falkirk #falkirkwheel

Unfortunately we visited the Wheel during its maintenance time, but a friendly Scottish gentlemen with a black Labrador informed us that it would be back in operation in March. I wasn’t bothered it wasn’t running, just looking at it and reading about the facts of the Wheel was enough for me. There was a gift shop and coffee shop in the visitor centre so it was nice to enjoy a coffee and scone and looking at the Wheel. We shall definitely come back to see it again. It’s worth noting that if you are a Blue Badge holder like my fiancé is, parking is free when the Wheel is operating. In the winter months the barriers are up so any vehicle is free which I think is really nice.
I’ve put I recommend booking tickets in advance purely because when the Wheel is operational again I expect it’ll be busy, so save yourself some time and get the tickets online.
Can’t wait to come back!
Xtreme Karting Falkirk is an indoor go-kart track that caters to children aged 8 and above. The facility boasts high-performance karts and a large circuit, accompanied by a comfortable track-side lounge. The staff is highly praised for their great service, including the Kart School program that has received positive feedback from visitors. However, some customers have raised concerns about the cost of sessions which are quite expensive given the short duration of only 2 sets of 7 minutes each.
Booked a lesson for my son as an Easter gift and he absolutely loved it. Staff was super friendly and helpful and my son was thrilled. Looking forward for second lesson as he can't stop talking about it. Highly recommended.

Good karts and track and really great staff. My 9 year old daughter attended the Kart School and has loved coming back since. Only reason for 4 stars is the cost, which is quite expensive for 2 X 7 minute sessions. It would be great if sessions were extended to 10 mins, or a membership scheme started, offering discount for frequent visitors.
Craig Chalmers — Google review
Great experience but poor administration. I took my two teenage grandchildren here last week and they thoroughly enjoyed it. However, it wasn't until i got home and received the email with their results that I realised they should have had two sessions, not just one.
When i sent an email to head office they said we should have known to wait for a second session, but a member of staff told the kids where to put their suits and helmets instead of telling us to wait for a second session.
They refused to give a refund for the session not used. in my opinion they need to tell visitors clearly at the start that they will have a gap between the first and second session. They say the children were told during the briefing, but when they were told they had two sessions, they thought it meant one each.
I am sure we are not the only people to have made this mistake, and some clear signage or clear instruction needs to be added to their protocol.
Otherwise, the karting experience itself was amazing.

Came here for an 11 year old's birthday treat. All equipment provided and plenty of staff on hand for any running-into-the-wall instances! Kids had a lot of fun, and there was a lot of patience for a more anxious participant. If you or your children have sensitive ears, then you might want to wear in ear earplugs; it was quite loud on track. Quality metal medals at the end, not plastic. Many thanks for an awesome time.

Dollar Park is a charming recreational area that includes several amenities for visitors of all ages. The grounds feature a kids' playground, flower garden enclosed by walls, tennis courts and even an inflatable castle during the seasonal months. Additionally, there are areas for outdoor sports like ball games and dogs are allowed in the walled garden which is not always permitted elsewhere. There is also a cafe available to grab some refreshments while taking in the scenic surroundings.
Lovely well maintained cultivated gardens and trees. Very pretty in the Spring & Summer. Autumn has its own charm with changing colours of the tree leaves. There is also a secluded walled garden and fish pond. Within the park there is a cafe. Great cakes.

You enter and leave through a small space in the wall and it can cause some congestion as there is only space for 1 vehicle. The car park is small. There is a play park but it's not the biggest. It has swings,climbing frame some adventure equipment not much else. There is big grass area where you can play football/badminton or if you have a dog let it run about.There is a small walk round the park and the path is in very good condition. The toilets are in the main building and the cafe is located here as well. The walled garden is quite nice and has a lovely water feature. There is lots of seating about the park but not many picnic benches.

The castle is a ruin currently being restored by trustees. Gary - who lives on site and in a caravan - was extremely welcoming and is crowd-funding the restoration, as it is not being supported by any authority or historical association. At the moment it is rather dangerous and should not be explored unless accompanied by Gary or his helpers. Local resident Nimbies and are hindering his work.

Small castle. Volunteers restoring it are there every day, and are very friendly, chatty and knowledgeable about the history of the local area.
The woods make for pleasant and picturesque walk.
Good afternoon, if the weather is good.
Take drink and food, as there’s nowhere to get food nearby.
You’re not allowed to park on site, unless you get permission beforehand. There are small bays where you can park on the main road. It’s then a 15-30 minute walk to the castle, depending on how close you parked.

A wonderful 16th century ruin originally controlled by the Forresters clan. It was captured during a 1585 rebellion. A chap purchased it in the late 1950's and spent over 40 years trying to restore it. There's now a couple of fellahs working hard to continue the restoration and one of them gave us an interesting tour of it. They should be commended and deserve a donation from visitors to help them continue their work. It's easily accessible with a public path and track from Glen Road. We'll worth a visit.

The Mariner Centre boasts a lagoon-style leisure pool with a wave machine, squash courts, sauna and a fitness suite complete with a cardio gym. With its fun slides and inviting waves, it is an ideal destination for those seeking recreational activities. The temperature of the pool is comfortable while the changing rooms are warm enough to provide optimal comfort. The presence of numerous lifeguards ensures safety at all times. It is definitely worth considering as a regular spot for leisure activities.
First time at this pool with 5 year old granddaughter and we absolutely loved it slides were great for her independence and she loved the waves. Pool was a good temperature and it was warm enough getting changed. Definitely making this our regular pool. Plenty of lifeguards on site too big tick

Swimming facilities are good
1 star for soft play and cafe, main cafe side closed for no apparent reason other than soft play was busy. 4 members of staff working and they can’t cope opening both sides of the cafe very bad rota management. Majority of the time cafe staff are standing around with nothing to do. I went to order and got told it was table service. I was then waiting another 15 minutes before someone came to serve me. The cafe must be running at a loss.

Not good all was in their 10 minutes and could not use the pool properly because they were doing life guard training and had used up half of the pool for this. After speaking to one of the receptionist she stated that none of the other customers had complained about this and I stated that this was because they were not using that part of the pool but the shallow baby part instead. After asking for refund of my money I was then told that she would speak to the manager and was then told they would not refund my money at all. I then asked to speak to the manager myself and she pretty much refused to get the manager for me to speak to them. I was then told quite cheekily that if a Thursday is inconvenient then don't come. Staff were quite rude and I will not be returning.

Not bad swimming pool but really only suited to very young children. Needs to be either 'proper' swimming pool with lanes or enjoyable leisure pool with flumes and decent slides. This is an unsatisfactory hybrid and relatively expensive.

Dilapidated. Staff don't let the kids do anything fun, like sit on the big floats or jump in the deep end, and the wave machine is always out of action. Not enough showers and the shut earlier than they say. Staff can't be arsed and it really shows.. got Falkirk council written all over it. Also, it's a LEISURE CENTRE.. leisure time is the weekend. So why would they stop you going at 3pm on a Saturday.??? If you get there at 1 minute past they will refuse you entry even if it makes your kid cry... its like they hate customers..... disgusted really...

We come here often for swimming with the kids (age 1 and 4). Fantastic pool for them, the slides are especially good for younger children. They're are 4 slides in total, reach building up from the last. The wave machine goes off every 30 min. Floats are provided. Warm water showers, and great family changing area. It loses a star because it is getting tired in places, but make no mistake, excellent value for money. Go at none peak times and your time isn't limited, good at the weekend and you'll get a coloured band to wear, you get 1.5-2 hours I think depending on what time you arrive.

Fabulous afternoon watching an amateur production of "Sunshine on Leith" with an immensely talented local cast who performed exceedingly well in this great venu. FTH theatre not only provides a venue for local drama groups but also hosts comedians, ballet panto and numerous other cultural experiences for not only the local community but also brings in people who then boost our local economy. Unfortunately it is being knocked down and in the current economic climate will not be replaced for some time so who knows what will happen to all these local groups and touring shows whom locals etc will no longer have access to . Hope they can come up with something soon 😥🙏

Fantastic walk along the Union Canal through the Falkirk Tunnel which is 670m long. Not one to try if you are scared of the dark or confined spaces. Easily accessed through the Falkirk High Train Station which has ample parking for £2.60 for the day. If you are looking for a longer walk it's 2 miles to the Falkirk Wheel. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited just after a few days of heavy rainfall so a bit wet around the area..... and inside the tunnel due to the leaky roof! This did not detract from our visit though.

Nice creepy tunnel which is good for a walk! You will get a few drips here and there so some sort of waterproof jacket is needed.
It’s just beside Falkirk High Station. The car park beside it is free and has plenty of spaces. This is a nice place if you fancy a different sort of place to walk or bike. Mind your step though! My wife thought it was creepy…. Nicely creepy!

Great place for a walk. Cycling and dog friendly. Most of the walks are on even ground but there are harder trails for those that want them.

If you're visiting Falkirk the tunnel is definitely worth a visit and a staple of our town. It's about a fifteen minute walk from Falkirk town centre and it runs for a mile under Callendar Park. The landowners didn't want the canal to spoil their views, so the canal had to go underneath, creating Falkirk Tunnel. It can be rather spooky at night, because the water streams through the ceiling and drips down the walls. It's host to some beautiful rock formations, and calcite has built up on the walls over the years.

It was an amazing experience. Walking through all tunnel, all the sounds, lights, falling water. One from attraction you must see in Falkirk. Free parking near the tunnel.

Hidden gem in the middle of the town. 600 metres long tunnel which take you into different world. Large free car park next to Falkirk High train station with entrance to the tunnel not far away. Absolutely stunning place.

A walk through this tunnel will calm your nerve. If you're having a rough week, i suggest you go there and nature will take care of the rest. You have a 650 m long tunnel near Falkirk where you can experience a happy darkness and nothing else except the chirping of birds.

Just down from Falkirk High Train Station (free parking at the train station) quick walk down the hill and turn left. A wonderful walk along the Union Canal (can be a bit wet and slippery underfoot) feels like you are caving at times. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area
