    4 Stars A great day out, but it's not what I call a Theme Park! Review with images 24/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Scenic location, plenty to see and do.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's too small to be called a theme park.

    On a trip to Scotland a couple of years ago, we checked into the Express by Holiday Inn at Strathclyde Park and were surprised to discover there was a theme park just a few minutes walk from the hotel, which was also beside Strathclyde Loch. We enjoyed staying there so much, we have returned a few times since and always have a walk along to M & D's Theme Park. Now to call M & D's a theme park is a bit ambitious to say the least, as in no way can it compete with the likes of Alton Towers. It is much smaller than the other theme parks I have visited and therefore a more apt description would be ... more

    3 Stars Fun Park, Not Theme Park 10/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No entrance fee, indoor and outdoor activities, lots of choice

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive. Expensive. Did I mention it can be expensive?!

    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 and doesn't really merit the title "theme park" Location The park is located just off the M74 motorway at junction 5 and off the A725 main East Kilbride to Coatbridge road. Buses run to the park from Glasgow at weekends and school holidays (the FirstBus X7 from Buchanan Bus Station) but this is a place best reached by car. Parking is reasonably plentiful but you have to walk a little to reach the entrance. The Park The main attractions at this small park ... more

    4 Stars All The Fun Of The Fair 13/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A good day out for families

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Serious thrill seekers might want to give this park a miss

    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 the 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 ... more

    3 Stars M&D's is not a theme park, more of a fun park 02/05/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Theres a few advantages, big bomber, water rides, dodgems and more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not easily accessed, expensive, little rides for the payers , boring,

    M&D's Its a park with various rides however I feel that the park is in need of a complete makeover because it has not changed for a matter of years. I feel that the owner of M&D's has no imagination whatsoever, has simply placed budget rides which would not attract a large amount of people and simply overcharge them. If I was the owner I'd do everything different from the entrance to the rides. The land would need to be bigger, even if it was relocated to a popular place rather than somewhere which is only accessible via walking. The rides would not focus on the children, this is how M&D's is ... more

    1 Star m&dont go 26/06/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages all the rides thats stated on there website were there

    Disadvantages Disadvantages they were ancient and some werent even open!

    Took the kids on a day out to Scotland's largest themepark. I didn't think it was very big and for the money we paid for a wristband each there didn't seem to be enough rides to make it a worthy purchase on the plus side there's no entrance fee so you could go in have a look and make up your own mind. Staff werent very helpful in my opinion and the rides were a bit tatty and in need of an update. The White knuckle ship was alright and there was the magic carpet I'd I've never been on anything like that before but that's about all there was worth mentioning in my view. The dodgems had they not ... more
