Zoo in Glasgow

“Fab place! Park is free. Forest walks. Great play area of children of all ages. Wheelchair ♿️ Friendly good for buggies. Large open space for dogs and picnics. Small zoo £2 for children £4 for adults. Cafe on site. Wonderful place. Restrooms on site.”

“Beautiful woodland walks, especially early morning or late afternoon when the park is a little quieter, very popular for dog walking, also very relaxing.”

“This visit has been one of the highlights of our Scotland trip. Graeme provided a ton of information in an engaging and at times amusing way. It was a treat getting to hold and fly the birds. I will never look at the hawks and owls that live around me the same way.”

“A must visit little island. It has its all natural vegetation alovely shallow beach and a fantastic view point.”

“This hidden gem is well worth the visit. The staff are amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Obviously love looking after all the birds. It's worth staying for all the different flight displays. Cafe is worth a visit, especially the great Scottish cakes”

“I had an incredible time during the "Meet the Owls" experience! I got to meet several of the beautiful owls and each with their own unique personality. The woman leading our session was fantastic, knowledgeable and great at teaching us how to handle the owls properly. The whole experience made my day and left me smiling with a head full of facts.”

“Great country park plenty of miles of paths taking you off in all directions we usually start up at top and work our way around. Garden centre, cafe’s, coffee shops, play-parks, toilet facilities, picnic benches, plenty of car parking.. even an observatory and much more. Miles of paths taking off in every direction over fields, through woodlands and across marshland. The Castle ruins are a must see whilst visiting too. The park is different depending on the season you come. Different wildlife and vegetation bursting into life.”

“Had a great time, second time there. My 11 year old still enjoys it and we went this time for the pumpkin carving too”

“Nice friendly staff across the board probably minus one in the cafe but the rest all friendly. Great set up, registered for the year very good and will return. Good tractor ride up to the farm, park pretty good with plenty of picnic tables. A lot of tractors to see downstairs aswell as a few activity areas. Good to pass a few hours time.”

“Great place for walking the dogs with ample parking at various access points around the estate. The only downside for me now is all the erosion around the RSPB nature resulting in the closure of the pathway.”

“This place is definitely worth visiting it's not just for kids the adults can join in to on the go carts, slides, hay barn, steeple race and much much more.All the staff are very polite and friendly they made time to explain things.All the animals look healthy and well cared for.we took our own food as there's picnic tables under cover, there is a cafe and gift shop aswell.We went 27th Aug which was really quiet think we saw about 4 families as Scottish children are back at school and the weather wasn't great,but there is plenty of things to do under cover, we didn't have to queue for anything.As the park was closing and we was dawdling along they announced" to the staff we are releasing the lions in 2 minutes" which just made our day and left there laughing.what a cracking day 4 adults and 4 children had.”

“Beautiful Southside parkland running alongside the River Cart. Woodlands and paths are clean and tidy. There is an accessible waterfall and lots of grassy areas with benches to rest. It’s peaceful, simple and relaxing. One of the largest and nicest parks in Glasgow and well worth a drive to.”

“Very well maintained wee area, couple of tables/benches around the pond”

“Can’t fault the welcome and enthusiasm from David and his family Great accommodation at bargain prices Games room and fun golf Pool table, table tennis Great views 1/2 mile to golf course Mile to Uplawmoor but not a lot there 1/2 hour drive to the coast Larg, Toon, Prestwick, Glasgow 1/2”

“I always feel especially good when I come here.”

“Great little place for the kids to get involved with the animals and everyone so welcoming the Santa experience was the best we could have asked for. It was very personal wasn’t rushed it was just amazing. We have visited a couple times now and we can’t wait to go back already.”

“This is a fantastic place to visit. It's a small animal park with a fly fishery, air rifle range, children's play area, large carpark (£2 to park) and cafe, sit in, or take away. The animals are all well fed, healthy looking with clean pens that allow plenty of space for the animals to move about and they have shelters for when the weather turns. We never saw any animal neglect, so we're not sure what the previous post is about. There are paths, astro turf and a road to walk along, so even in the rain, you won't need wellies. For £6 you get food to feed the animals. Each bag has a picture of the animal on it. There are drain pipes to pour the food down if you don't fancy getting animal slobbers on your hand. Lots of hand cleaners are available. There are three small ponds that are stocked with rainbows, browns, tigers and blues. Pay at the cafe, then drive through the animal park down to the fishery car park. The shooting is with air rifles at targets. These can be hired again pay at the cafe. There is a sit-in section of the cafe with seating and tables outside and also a huge poly tunnel if it's raining. We sat in as they had a very warm wood burning stove. We ordered two chicken burgers and chips with lattes. No complaints at all. The food was well cooked and tasted great, the lattes were hot. The owners have a band and have on-site gigs (small entry fee), which play a variety of music, see their Facebook page for details to when they play. This is held in the huge poly tunnel, so it is no hassle if it's raining. There is food availableto buy at these gigs and you are allowed to bring uour own drink. The owners and staff were so friendly and really enthusiastic about what they have created here, well worth a visit.”

“My daughter loves the farm. We will definitely be popping in every now and then”

“Beautiful park. With a small Farm. Nice play area for the kids. Great Park for long walks.”

“It is good one and is part of the Glasgow university and collected by William Hunter.”

“Wow excellent calm weather u can feel very relaxed here”

“This park is great! It has something for everyone and is big enough that even when it's busy, everyone still has space. The park is clean and has a nice pond too. There's toilets, a cafe and a carpark on site.”

“Wonderful park with plenty of well laid out walks and plenty of car parking places. I would recommend visiting this park”

“Been twice for lunch. The fish and chips is absolutely delicious! Light and crispy batter. The cakes are awesome. Got to try the meringues!”

“A happy combination of busy families and gently challenging climbs and play ground equipment. Very lively on a Sunday afternoon. Set in a fine park complete with ponds and views.”

“This aquarium is genuinely lovely, and a great break if you’ve got some classic Scottish weather on your day out. I am a wheelchair user and found the aquarium to be pretty accessible, although you can checkout my review on RollMobility for more info. Its got some rough terrain inside, the way some aquariums like to be cute and create textures like bridges and pebbles in the floor. That being said, none of it was very intense or dramatic and I was able to manage alright. They have spacious elevators throughout. You may encounter a wait for the disabled restroom given the number of families. Lots of stuff is easily viewable and *touchable * from a seated position so like I really genuinely recommend it.”

“I had a ton of fun at Lamont farm with my wife today. They have a plethora of animals living happily including goats, lamas, ducks, chicken, horses, and shetland ponies. The volunteers are incredibly friendly, was a great atmosphere. Lamont farm doesn't even have an entry cost, so I think it is a great project to donate to via the website if you can afford. Especially considering many of the animals have been rescued. Thanks for a great day. Ill be back for sure!”
