Lovely place to visit, lots to see. Great cafe in the house, plus also in the grounds. Would recommend this place.

A place full of rich history written on every wall. Beautiful old architecture, massive green areas, lake, play area, etc. A over priced bouncy castle on site £5 for 10 minutes!!! Overall, it is a cool place to spend time with family and learning about history. I am attaching a few photos, but it is better with eyes. Entry is free, and parking is available on site for free.

In 2024, my wife and I had our first visit to Callendar House in Falkirk. This was a pleasant visit, and it was nice to walk around and read information about the history of the house and the history of the local area. There is ample information spread throughout and across the multiple levels within the house, both written and displays such as mock shops and associated items from local industries. There is a cafe on site too. Accessible toilets with an elevator, too. Toilets were fresh, clean, and modern. There was scattered seating throughout the property, which was very welcoming due to my mobility. Although maybe not to everyone's taste, at the time of our visit there was a modern art exhibition on the top floor. I don't know, but I'd imagine that there would be opportunities for different exhibitions at different times. I did notice security cameras throughout the house but other than the staff at the front door, I was not aware of any staff members or curators yo who you could ask any questions, having said that the exhibits did have accompanying information for the most part. The gift shop was located at the front entrance, and although it was small, it did have a decent range of gifts, including items for the kiddies. There was car parking immediately outside the property for folks with mobility issues and another 2 carparks a little further down the path. All in all, this was a pleasure to visit, and with it being free, it made it all the more enjoyable and encouraged spending in the gift shop and cafe. I think we'll visit again.

A great museum and community resource set in some lovely parkland with plenty of things to see and do for children (and adults) of all ages. There's a cafe, various seasonal art displays and a museum of the local Falkirk area history- and apart from the cafe it's all free! Parking a plenty.
