I'm there for a week soon and was wondering if anyone has any tips on fun things to do. Any help is appreciated as we will be with the in-laws so as much outdoor time as possible is needed :-D
What to do in Aviemore

Crikey, what not to do.
Rothie estate, Cairngorms, Ospreys, Grantown for Hunting Shooting fishing, mountain biking, reindeer watching - they come right up to you.
As soon as you get there go to the tourist info, google things to do.
My favourite place in the world and I'm there four or five times a year.

Go and eat cake in the Mountain Cafe upstairs above the outdoor shop!
Visit the brewery.
Head up into Glenmore where there is walking, biking, watersports and a whole host of other outdoor activities to do.
Or simply pull on your boots and walk and walk and walk!
Glenfeshie is a short step from Aviemore and is a beautiful place to walk and wild camp.

If it is anything like Glencoe you could count dead deer on the side of the road, we must have seen a dozen when we went through at Whitsun... I don't think we saw any antlers though...Which could be useful.
The butcher shop in town does some amazing black pudding. Om nom nom.
If you've transport, driving up to the ski centre car park is worth it for the view and you have the tops in short reach. The impressive Chalamain gap is a mile from the car park towards the Lairig Ghru and there are walks off that road all through Rothiemurchus.
Loch an Eilein castle is worth a walk to and the path takes you to Loch Einich for a longer walk- a very atmospheric and IIRC, the deepest gouge in the land in the UK.
I'm with Dougster, one of my favourite places in the world. So much to do and see.

I hitched up from Dumfries once and wild camped it was an awful tourist trap and I doubt it is any better now so I suggest get out and away as much as possible
