Discovering Dundee
One of Dundee's premier attractions is the fascinating Discovery Point, where you can find out all about Scott and Shackleton's trip to Antarctica and step on board the ship Discovery herself. Verdant Mill is another interesting local museum which tells you all about the city's jute industry, or if you prefer a bracing walk head up Dundee Law. You can catch a show at Caird Hall and don't miss a visit to the Desperate Dan statue on the High Street, a homage to local publishers DC Thomson. Kids will love a visit to Camperdown Wildlife Centre which has lots of animals to look at plus a cafe and shop.
