M and D's Scotland's Theme Park

M and D's, Scotlands Theme Park, Scotland must be really small. Nestled just off the M74 in the lush green Strathclyde Park is M and D's, serviced with an excellent road and bus service with ample parking this park has a high opinion of itself. Price wise its £14 for over 1.35 Metres, £10 for under 1.35 Metres and £42 for a Family of 4, you may enter free without a wristband but once inside there are a few rides with extra payment required ie. Bomber and Bungee, the best white knucklers in the place. It stays open quite late compared to say Loudoun Castle and you can stay from 11am till 7pm. Roller coaster wise the tornado is a looping ...  Read the complete review

Spring is in the air and Easter brought a request from my daughter for a trip to M&D's - a so-called "theme park" located in South Lanarkshire, not far from my sister's home in East Kilbride. She went a couple of times last year and having learned that it was open again for the 2009 season she couldn't resist a return trip, so yesterday afternoon found us heading there for an afternoon out. M&D's bills itself as "Scotland's Theme Park", but having been to Chessington World of Adventures and Alton Towers, this place is far smaller. The park is located just off the M74 motorway at junction 5 and off the A725 main ...  Read the complete review

I could not recommend this theme park to anyone with children. We took up the deal with the hotel and theme park included. The hotel was first class with very friendly staff I would have no problem staying there again if it was not for the theme park attached to it. We entered the theme park only to find that on nearly all the rides both my children could not join in together my first child is 8 and the second 6 with very little height difference in them. The park was not very busy with most rides empty or only with a few people on them but a very strict height restriction was in place not only for being big enough due to health and safety requirements which i can ...  Read the complete review

The kids had been talking about Blackpool non stop since we took them there last year so we decided to treat them to a day out at M and D's theme park which is much closer to home. I loved to go to the shows as a kid but the cost of taking three kids out for a day quickly adds up so going to a theme park with unlimited rides for a set price seemed a good option for us. There were five of us in our party, two adults and three kids aged eleven, seven and six. The six year old was under the 1.30m height for riding unsupervised on almost all rides, the seven year old reached the 1.30m limit when his hair was spiked up high so managed both the kiddie and bigger rides and the ...  Read the complete review

I live quite near Strathclyde park and was thrilled when they first decided to build M and D's here, advertising it as Scotland's first theme park. However, once built I realised it was a far cry from Alton Towers or Thorpe Park, although it is an alright day out if you live nearby. Strathclyde park itself is easy enough to find, being located between Motherwell and Hamilton, both of which are not far from Glasgow. The park itself is built round a loch, round which you can walk or cycle (bikes are available for hire) or you can even hire boats or pay for a motorboat ride on the lake itself. You can't miss M and D's from anywhere within the park as ...  Read the complete review
