Callendar House

Calendar house is owned by Falkirk council and is set in calendar park. The park has play areas and walks but due to the weather we were unable to make use of these. We spent the afternoon inside the house looking at various items on display . Many of the items tell you about the Falkirk area. Dating form Roman times onwards. In one of the rooms you can see where the Antonine wall is. Plenty of information about the various exhibits in the rooms. There is also a Victorian kitchen. Staff on hand to explain about the items in the kitchen .Access to the house is good disabled visitors enter by a side door which is opened by the reception staff there is a lift to all floors . Getting round some of the exhibits can be a bit tight in places but I managed ok in my wheelchair, it just took a few goes to turn round.. there is a nice cafe with views out over the grounds . The cafe has a good choice of snacks and sandwiches, we had a most enjoyable afternoon visit with family .

Fascinating place to explore and a top spot for afternoon tea in Falkirk. Lots of engaging exhibits including costume dress ups and tactile activities. Then there's the whole park to explore! The staff are lovely.

There were disabled access point to the building and each had a fully automatic door which are not on a timer so would not close on you. The house contains different themed rooms and many things to see. This makes a great day out.
