• McDonald Aviemore Resort - Aviemore has undergone something of a tranformation in recent years and Aviemore Adventure Club is great for the kids on a rainy day. Inflatable Fun Factory - a giant room full of inflatable slides, tunnels and bouncy castles!
• Landmark Adventure Park - Landmark in Carrbridge has been around for a while now but it keeps going from strength to strength with some truly exciting activities for the kids including the Highlands only Rollercoaster The Runaway Timber Train, puzzles, illusions, a tree top trail, climbing walls and wildlife feeding.  The Forester Restaurant and The Pinewood Grill are perfect for a food stop in between all these activities. Set in the pinewoods of Carrbridge, Landmark is around 20 mins drive from Granite Cottage in Nethy Bridge.
• Pony Trekking at Rothiemurchus - Rothiemurchus Estate offers a riding experience for all the family with a range of sessions to fit all ages and levels of experience in varied moorland and forest terrain. 
• Kincraig Highland Wildlife Park - this is something that everyone will love, see incredible animals including Red Deer, Pinemartins, Red Squirrel, Wolves, Tigers, Owls and even a Polar Bear. Kincraig is around 30 minutes drive from Nethy Bridge.
• Highland Folk Museum - Learn how the inhabitants of the Highlands of Scotland used to live. With plenty of hands on activities this place does its best to shake off any notion that museums aren't fun places to visit.
