Codona's Amusement Park and The Boardwalk

This seafront complex boasts a live music and entertainment stage, a 3D motion ride theatre and an amusement park with roller-coasters, log flume, waltzers and all the other usual gut-churning rides. Also on the Beach Boulevard is The Boardwalk, a family entertainment centre with a children's foam factory, indoor trampolines, 10-pin bowling alleys, pool halls, bingo competitions, bar, restaurant and gift shop.

Peacock Visual Arts
Peacock is North East Scotland's leading contemporary visual arts centre and organises various local and international art exhibitions. A second smaller gallery displays and sells original prints created by local, national and international artists. Many of these are produced at Peacock's in-house printmaking facilities, which are available, for a small charge, to those of at least a basic competency. For those without a clue about printing and etching, or those wishing to further their existing skills, Peacock runs classes.
