Nice little zoo. Great for kids with both indoor and outdoor areas. Plenty of small animals and birds. Well maintained and clean. Worth a visit any time of year.
Well this is an absolute gem of a wee zoo,lots of parking and the zoo is well kept with lovely staff there are some animals inside but outside is where it's at the garden is lovely to sit and ponder if needs must and listen to the chirping of all the beautiful birds to see and some other cracking animals (I don't won't to spoil) it's a nice day out it can be quick to go round and see everything but then you have the beauty of the country park to see right afterwords.
Calderglen Country Park is the perfect day out near Glasgow. The zoo is small but full of charm, with South American animals like coatis, capuchin monkeys, iguanas, and tropical birds. Great for kids and adults alike! The surrounding park is huge, with beautiful woodland trails, riverside walks, waterfalls, and play areas. Ideal for families, walkers, and anyone looking to enjoy nature. Don’t miss this peaceful and affordable escape!

Amazing, with something for everyone of every age and ability. What was really great was a disabled car park with a paved pathway suitable for wheelchairs down to the stream and the waterfall. The children's park was very busy, and there was plenty of space for several group games. We had some twenty children in our group and entertained themselves from about noon till just before seven pm. Children are unlikely to get bored here. It seemed that four footed visitors brought to the park were just as reluctant to leave the park as the children. One had a choice of a challenging walk from the waterfall or a more sedate route. All in all the walking trails were a delight, allowing one to leave a main group for peace and solitude screened by ample mixed vegetation of trees and bushes and yet quickly rejoin your group.
