Audio Guide of Duthie Park

Duthie Park is open every day from 08:00 AM until dusk. It is very easy to reach, with several Aberdeen bus routes passing by the park. You can check the routes on the First Bus Aberdeen website.

Good news! Entry to Duthie Park is completely free for all visitors. It is a wonderful public space to enjoy at no cost.

To fully enjoy Duthie Park, especially the impressive Winter Gardens, we recommend allowing at least 2 to 3 hours. If you feel like taking a leisurely walk or having a picnic, you could easily extend your visit.

Yes, Duthie Park was gifted to the city by the Duthie family and opened in 1883. Its famous Winter Gardens house one of the largest collections of subtropical plants in Europe, giving it great botanical and historical value for the city of Aberdeen.

Any time is a good time, but if you want to capture the park at its very best, spring and summer (from May to September) are ideal because of the flowers in bloom. Early in the morning, just after opening, you will find fewer people and beautiful light for photography.

Yes, Duthie Park is quite accessible. Most of the paths are flat and well paved, and the Winter Gardens are also designed to be accessible. Parking for disabled visitors is available near the main entrances.

Absolutely. Aberdeen has a lot to offer. Not far away, you can explore Aberdeen city centre with its granite architecture, visit Aberdeen Art Gallery, or take a walk along Aberdeen Beach. Drum Castle, although it requires a short trip, is also wonderful.

Definitely. I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, especially if you plan to explore the whole park. Good photos of the Winter Gardens are a must, so do not forget your camera! And if the weather allows, a picnic on the lawns is an excellent idea. For more information, you can visit the official Duthie Park website.
