Water park in Coatbridge

“Lovely country park with some shorter walks around the loch or longer walks of you want to incorporate the woodland or other sections of the seven lochs area. There are two playparks, one designed for smaller children and a larger wooden fort with rope swings, climbing frames and flying fox for older children. Great place to walk, run or cycle and the park is really well kept with lots of wildlife. Also a cafe with access to toilets when open. Car park can become very crowded on sunny weekends.”

“This is one of my favourite playgrounds in Glasgow. Its design is based on an ancient "crannog" water village and it is sighted right on the edge of lochend loch, where the remains of one of these villages were once discovered. There is an audio information point built into the playgrounds architecture to tell you more about the history of the site and there are fantastic views across the water from all around. The playground itself is clean, modern, has a good variety of adventure play equipment but is best enjoyed by those old enough to walk. Our 2 year old toddler was quite happy there but will undoubtedly get more out of it when she's a little older and more confident on her feet. In the meantime, the nearby Drumpellier Country Park Playground (on the other side of the cafe) has more suitable equipment for children her age. Plenty of picnic benches in the area for adults to sit on while supervising and a cafe, toilets and free car park just a few minutes walk down the path.”

“Fascinating museum with much to see. I especially recommend the miners cottages through the ages. Main museum has much to see inside of it's raining. Nice walk around the outside with a play area if it's not raining. Good canteen and the wee sweet shop a treat. Friendly helpful staff. All free. It was a pity the tram wasn't running and a few exhibits outside are either covered or in need of attention.”

“Brilliant place. Everything you need in 1 place. State of the art gym. Lane Swimming pool and water amusement park. Ice rink. Soft play area. Cafe. Truly a wonderful place. Fair prices for all activities. Booking online or via phone is essential.”

“Didn't stay over but attended for a family event. Staff were all brilliant but special heads up to the chefs - Avril and Sean. Their food was amazing and they were so friendly too! Gillian from Newcastle”

“Loved our latest visit! Booked in advance as can get very busy. Changing rooms and showers are a bit chaotic when busy but overall place was clean and lovely to see both flumes open again. Whirlpool is a ton of fun, lazy river with slides is great too and the wave machine is fantastic. Didn’t do the big tornado donut slide but kids loved it. They also love the huge water play area (where you can fire water at unsuspecting folk below). Cafe was open again too which was lovely to see (slushies and cakes were hoovered - also has hot food). As other people have noted, do bear in mind it is an old attraction now so it will look a bit worn around the edges and could use a bit of TLC on the rust spots but given its age that wasn’t a major thing for us. All in an absolutely fantastic day, lots of giggles and could have stayed much longer. Would recommend trying to go at non-peak times to get the best of the main features.”
