Do you love having fun and, more importantly, do you enjoy helping other people have fun? Are you a people person with an inner-child desperate to be let loose?

We are Conifox Adventure Park, a fun family-owned attraction located in Kirkliston, 20 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh.

Our events team create and deliver immersive events and amazing experiences. We want to bring families together to get active and create memories. No two days are the same; we have family music festivals, Halloween scare mazes, pumpkin festivals, Scotland’s biggest immersive Christmas Santa Experience and all the fun of Tartan Titan, spanning 600m of obstacles and challenges, visitors will need to jump, bounce, crawl and slide their way to glory!
