Hi,

We (me, DH & DD aged 4) are visiting Aberdeen for a few days and i was looking for recommendations on things to do/visit and places to eat.

Thanks

Re-reading above nothing much has changed except of course the new shopping mall http://www.unionsquareaberdeen.com/Website/home.aspx which has shops, cineworld and branded restaurants like yo sushi, tgif, zizi etc. has been added to the two existing malls. Union street is a bit sad and run down though.

I'd recommend the cafe here as something different, it has a glass floor over the original cellar which your 4 year old might enjoy and it's dark and atmospheric http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/arts/gm/art_provostskene.asp

my kids loved the outdoor swimming pool at Stonehaven when they were younger

Thanks guys, we've had our wee weekend in Aberdeen. It was good, DD loved Codona's and the science centre (I wasn't so fussy for either). I think we might visit the swimming pool at Stonhaven another time though.
