Be prepared to spend a LOT of money when you visit. You can buy a wrist band for the rides or pay as you go. The wrist band is definitely better value for money if you're going to spend a full day in the park and go on the same rides multiple times as there really isnt a huge selection, especially if your kids are under the height restrictions. There are plenty of food and drink stalls in the fair section to chose from but they are pricey . There is soft play for smaller kids which is reasonably priced and the cafe next to it is pretty good and has options of toasties, paninis etc. Loads of arcade games and grabber machines so again, make sure you take plenty of money. There is also a bowling alley and pool tables etc in another section with more options for food and drink. Multiple other food and drink options as well so there is something to suit everyone.

A wet, cold, windy December is no time to rate a themepark fully. The Christmas show was great, effort for Santa's grotto brill. Execution was generally cheap and cheerful all around.

I've been coming here for years with my husband and cousin, mostly for the arcade. There is a great section of machines to play, from plush grabby machines, and a couple of giant crane games, 2p pushers, barbour snip, virtual reality games, like water-skiing, dance move games, football, basketball, punch bag, tower of tickets etc. Plenty to keep you entertained for hours. There is also an age restricted arcade and a prize station. M&Ds has had a modern update and you can purchase a card to play machines and put credit on them and also to use to build up your tickets for the prize station (not all machine, you still need coins for some). Bistro in the Loch has a good selection of food from sandwiches, cakes, ice cream, with a breakfast menu with additional seating inside aswell as out and drinking bowls for dogs. There is also a bowling alley (Cosmic bowl) with multiple lanes, snooker and pool tables, a sports bar, the recently renovated Montery Jack's with an excellent food menu, a wee gift shop selling mostly sweets (a bit overpriced), Amazonian for seeing exotic animals and a decent sized funfair with various rides, and Krazy Congo soft play. Also, the props and the decoration of the building inside is impressive with so much thought to detail. The staff here are a great bunch of people from the machine maintenance guys, the security guy and especially the manageress, Karen. She's a lovely gal who you see power walking around the building adding glam and beauty to the neon and flashy lights of the arcade. She's always there for a chat and a laugh and just great craic. It's always great to see her. Overall, M&Ds is a great day out with a variety of things to do and right next to Strathclyde country park. There are good options for food and drink,parking is free and plentiful too. There are always events going on at different times of the year and the website or app is a good source of information for keeping up to date and checking for opening and closing times as not every facility opens and closes at the same time. https://scotlandsthemepark.com/opening-times/ Strathclyde Country Park, Motherwell, Scotland ML1 3RT

Scotland's theme park. Good fun with the kids and there is plenty of parking. Lots of reasonable food options. Rides are old but the kids wont notice. Arcade too. Never seen it too busy to affect the experience

Great Fun at M&D’s Bowling! I recently visited M&D’s Bowling and had a fantastic time! The lanes were in great condition, and the atmosphere was vibrant and family-friendly. The place is ideal for groups, families, or even a fun date night. There were plenty of lanes, so even though it was busy, we didn’t have to wait long. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when we had a little trouble with one of our balls getting stuck. They were quick to sort it out, and it didn’t interrupt our game. The shoes and bowling equipment were well-maintained and clean. The arcade games and pool tables were a nice bonus, adding more options to keep everyone entertained. We also enjoyed the snack bar, which had decent food and drink choices at reasonable prices. Overall, M&D’s Bowling was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to have a fun time.
