Featuring a host of life-like dinosaurs including a Velociraptor and its adorable babies, the Theme Park will host free family interactive daily shows throughout the summer including the opportunity to meet the prehistoric mammals.
From 29 June to 11 August visitors can watch the exclusive ‘How to Train Your Velociraptor’ free show which will take place daily at 12.30pm, 2.00pm, 3.30pm and 5pm. Throughout the day brave adventurers can also listen out for the roar of the Jurassic guests who will be making special appearances.
M&D’s has also teamed up with First Bus to provide two unique bus services to the Theme Park this summer. From 29 June until 13 August the X7 Express Bus Service will run from Buchanan Bus Station from just £8.00 for an adult and £6.00 for a child which also includes a £4 discount off a Theme Park wristband or a game of golf at Devil’s Island Adventure Golf.
Lanarkshire residents can also take advantage of a new First Bus Service 247 route to the Theme Park which will pick up at various points including Hamilton Bus Station, Motherwell and Bellshill. Time-tables for both services can be found at scotlandsthemepark.com/x7-first-bus/
Jensen Taylor Connelly said: “We’ve got a terrific summer of entertainment planned for families. The dinosaurs are so lifelike and it’s amazing how they move and their special sound effects.
“We can’t wait to welcome visitors to the Theme Park to experience the free shows and see the reaction of both children and adults to the remarkable dinosaurs which will capture imaginations.”
Located next to Strathclyde Country Park, M&D’s is one of Scotland’s top visitor attractions. The Theme Park features thrill rides and family rides, as well as a host of activities, for all age groups.
Special features include Amazonia, an indoor tropical rainforest with exotic animals and plants, Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, Cosmic Bowl, a ten-pin bowling alley, and Krazy Congo Soft Play. There are also many food outlets to enjoy, from snacks to restaurant meals, including the award winning American themed diner Monterey Jack’s.
Car parking and entry into the Theme Park is free.
