Get an up-close look at Scotland’s wildlife at the The Scottish Deer Centre. Set on 22 hectares (55 acres) of Fife countryside, the center houses 14 species of other animals native to the region including otters, wolves, and several birds of prey. Attend a hawk handling to hear more about these amazing birds or help feed one of the hand-reared young deer. Take a treetop walk through the Witches Woods for a bird’s-eye view of the area. Before leaving, visit the center’s woolen mill store or Highland food and whiskey shop for traditional Scottish products to take home. PutThe Scottish Deer Centre into our Cupar attractions tool and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

Great places to visit with or without kids. We went on the only dry day of the week. I love how big the enclosures are for the animals and we saw just about all of them. The crepes next to the park were great but it's a long wait to get one. The gift shop had a good variety of gifts and a good selection at pocket money prices.

Fantastic centre, I hadn't heard about it until a couple of weeks ago, so glad we went, a huge amount to do and doesn't cost the earth like done other venues. Would highly recommend a visit and arriving early, and if you are going for the falconry display at the arena, I'd recommend getting there early for a seat, it got busy, very quickly. Fantastic, helpful and insightful staff who where knowledgeable and approachable.

Absolutely loved our visit to the deer centre, it definitely exceeded our expectations and is much bigger than we thought it'd be! They allow you to feed the deer (not all of them, signs will tell you which ones you can't) and that is such a fantastic experience, really cool to see them run to you and follow you around! On the day, we also witnessed a...let's just say "excited" brown bear and his bear wife enjoy their time together... (see photo attached) Of all the things I thought I'd see at the deer centre, that wasn't one of them! 🤣🐻

Fantastic place to visit with family. Plenty of parking spaces available. Friendly and helpful Staffs. Tractor ride was wonderful. You can also feed deer's. Right outside on the main road. Lot of places for BBQ. Recommended to all.

Pay what you can at the door with suggested donations, the person at the door was very approachable and they seem very accommodating (for anyone worried). Lovely day out for us and a 15 month old. Plenty of space to run about for kids and nice sheltered locations. Plenty of places to have a seat. Tree top walk was amazing! Animals are well looked after and highly recommend watching some of the feeding times/tours with knowledgeable staff presenting. For anyone wondering why the RAF Buccaneer exhibit is £15, you get your photos taken and you also get a print of the aircraft. Highly recommend and will be back in the summer!
