About

M & D’s Scotland’s Theme Park, situated on the outskirts of Motherwell and bordering Strathclyde Country Park, is one of the country’s most popular family destinations. The park showcases a mix of thrill rides, water attractions, and gentle family rides, offering excitement for all ages. Key attractions include the indoor tropical rainforest Amazonia, a temperature‑controlled house featuring exotic animals; Devil’s Island, an 18‑hole miniature golf course set amid caves and waterways; Cosmic Bowl, a full‑size ten‑pin bowling alley; and Krazy Congo, an indoor soft‑play area for younger children. M & D’s also offers a range of classic amusement rides such as the Runaway Mine Train and Big Apple roller‑coasters, a log flume, and a variety of fairground‑style attractions. Visitors can enjoy family‑friendly rides like spinning chairs and the Pirate Ship, as well as one‑liners like the fast‑paced air‑raid spin‑ride. For entertainment, a theatre hosts regular shows, and a game zone provides over 150 arcade titles. The park has recently added new attractions and upgraded existing ones, keeping the visitor experience fresh. The park’s history includes a period of administration in 2020, after which it was purchased and has since resumed operations with updated safety protocols. M & D’s remains a staple for both local families and tourists, combining the thrill of rides with a unique natural setting within the larger Strathclyde Country Park ecosystem.
