You can let them play outside but you will have to have them penned in some way.
If you have one of the cages that pop off from a plastic base what I do is take the wire part and put it on some grass and put the pig in. This way they will not run away but can still walk on the grass and get some sun, plus they love to eat fresh grass. Just make sure to find a patch of grass that's un-sprayed, free of animal contamination, and weeds as you don't want them to get sick from animal feces, and some plants can be toxic.
Be sure and watch them at all times.
You could also let them down if you have a fenced in area as long as you stay right there with them.
They should not be left out in the sun as they can over heat. you shouldn't take them out because i did and mine ran away and i never found her. :(
There is many ways to play with a Piggy! Some ways to keep it happy and having lots of fun is...
1) crinkle up a new paper bag (with no ink or print on it) open it up, and put hay/grass inside of it and crinkle it up a bit and your pig will chew through it to get to the hay, they love that!
2) get a few bricks, and stack them like steps, and let your pig go up them like a person would, just dont leave them unprotected.
3) if your dad has any spare wood, have him carve out a little ramp, or if it is already a long thin rrecatagle type thing, then just put one end on the ground, and on the other, put it ontop of a brick or something (a thick book, a little stool, etc) you dont want it to be too steep or your pig will slip on it and go back down to the bottom of it.)
4) if you dont already have one, use a little bottomless cage and spray your piggy with flea and tick spray so it doesnt get them, and let your pig run around and eat the grass, JUST MAKE SURE IT HASNT BEEN SPRAYED WITH WEED KILLER!!
5) have one person on one door way (sitting down) and you at another doorway (sitting down) and so on and so forth (however many doors is however many people youll need but just in the room) and let you pig run around, if you are worried your pig will go under the couch or anything and you wont be able to get it out, just line roled up towels around the bottom so it wont go under neath.
I hope my advice works, my guinea pig love to do these things and hopefully yours does too! :D good luck with your piggy!!

Do I have to take my guinea pig on a walk or do I just let it run in my house?
You can't take Guinea Pig's for a walk with leads or anything like that as they are very bad for a Guinea Pig's spine. You are best to either let them go in a run outside or let them out in your house. You are best letting it run in your house, but keep it away from wires and spaces it can hide in. You shouldn't use a guinea pig harness or lead as they can damage their sensitive spines.

Will your guinea pig runaway if you put it in the front yard where there is no gate?
It depends, I acually have a guinea pig and I wouldn't ever let my guinea pig outside without a gate because they would usually runaway if you are not right by them watching them .If you are not watching closely you would be surprised to see you guinea pig flying through the sky when a bird swoops down and grabs it.So I don't think you would want to let it out now.

What injections do guinea pigs need?
To the best of my knowledge, there are no guinea pig-specific vaccinations available. The only vaccine I can think of that you might want to consider for your guinea pig would be a rabies vaccine, but there are risks associated with this. There are no rabies vaccines that are validated to be safe or effective for guinea pigs, so it could cause a severe reaction or just not work to protect your guinea pig. The best option will be to protect your guinea pig by not letting it play outside unsupervised or unprotected.
