Just visited Calderglen today and was surprised by the increase in prices. Now 4 pounds for adults and 2 pounds for kids. Given a number of animals were not available for viewing. Don't think it is a good value as previous.

Five stars is for park alone. The zoo is very rundown, years ago it was better looked after. I have concerns about the animals. Long tailed tamarind is housed with very little live/fresh vegetation/plants. Quite a few of the plastic variety. Meerkats enclosure also very poor. If this can't be funded to upgrade maybe it should be closed down.

Beautiful expanse of land with marked walking trails, a zoo for kids and a playground with several fun options. Taking one of the trails was the highlight for me.

I think you need to put some markings on the floor at the zoo I came with my adult handicapable eldest daughter and younger daughter we were walking round inside and had to go out due to either having people shoving past or coming back in the exit door beside the meerkats we like the animals and got some good photos but it was all over and done within half an hour then we returned to car through the exit to car park and there was no real way of knowing how to get anywhere else except to exit would be great to have a map printed as I prefer to park and do some walking rather than trying to find where everything EXCEPT the zoo was on foot and there were quite a few people trying to go in the exit gates. Your emergency pull cords in handicapped toilets should reach to the floor as if somebody collapses that's where they need to reach it from

Visited the zoo today with my granddaughter and had such a nice time, plenty of animals to see both indoors and out in the garden area. Animals looked well cared for and everyone we met that worked there was very friendly and helpful, especially the young girl who is there on College placement, she took some close up videos of the meerkats for us that my granddaughter loves and gave us lots of information about them, so helpful and very much appreciated so please pass on my thanks to her. Overall a good day out with easy parking, lots to see and didn’t cost a fortune!

Nice place but the inside of the zoo was shut so we didn't get to go around everything. I would go back to see it all again though. Lovely walks through the forest as well and good parking.

We come here regularly with our kids and dog. The place is absolutely beautiful and the kids' play park is fantastic. The only complaint is that the coffee and food shop prices are ridiculous n not justifiable. Make and take lunch with you as there are plenty of benches and picnic tables around the whole park.

Good cheap family day out here if you were to stay out of the cafe. Zoo onsite is very cheap, small but good value for money. Entry to the park itself is free snd so is the parking. The zoo has an adult £2 admission and kid £1 fee. The park is fairly well equipped to keep the kids entertained. We also went a walk to the "Falls" which never took long to reach but the decent up and down the hill is fairly steep with very oversized steps which could be dangerous for kids and very challenging for the elderly. We went to the cafe where I was £49 for 2 pizzas, 4 drinks and 3 cakes. All in all, good wee spot for a day out. Watch the road leading into it though as it is riddled with large potholes and take a picnic if you want to keep it a cheap day out.

It was a very cold day and we never hung about too long and spent a short time in the play area outside.Worth a visit. Unfortunately the cafe was closed this afternoon due to plumbing work.

The wee zoo is great to take the kids to visit, all be it expensive for what it is. The kids park is big with different activities for all ages. Its a very busy place so get there a wee bit earlier to get parked. The food court was also very busy, we just had coffee and a mint tea in the seated area outside, there is seating inside and also under a big tent, as well as picnic tables outtside the food court. Dog friendly so remember to pick up after your dog please. The glen is a beautiful walk with your dog and children, I would wear proper shoes or wellies if its been raining as it gets muddy in places. If your an Outlander fan well this is where they filmed part of the episode blood of my blood with Jamie and his son willie. See if you can find the fiming spots. The wee shows were there which was very busy but the kids enjoyed including a climbing frame to keep them amused. Lots to see and do for a couple of hours.

Visited today with my partner and 2 children, for £6 I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of animals in the Zoo such as Monkeys, snakes, finch’s meerkats, chipmunks and prairie dogs to name a few, the kids had a great time interacting with the parrots and learning from the info on the enclosures. The garden area within the zoo is well maintained. We spent around 50 mins in the Zoo. The play park outside although is perhaps in need of some TLC, the kids a great time and no complaints from them. £6 well spent and will be visiting again in the future.

It's all right, that's all. It's a bit small for what a zoo is, but they do have an ample number of animals. I'm just weirded out with the monkey(?) that was kept with only just fake plastic plants all over inside the glass enclosure. And I'm concerned with the squirrels, they look very overfed and obese. It's a good place to go out for a few hours anyway, with a few exotic animals.

I have been to the cafe twice now and on both occasions they have messed up my order. On the first visit I placed my order and payed but it was never given a order number so I assumed they would shout out what the order was but no. After waiting a while I asked a member of staff to get a mouthful off one of the kitchen staff saying my order had been out but then checked again and of course it hadn’t! The food was alright when it did eventually come. I did give them the benefit of doubt as they were busy due to the nice weather. On second visit I didn’t receive one of the items I had ordered. Spoke to staff. After a long wait I gave up. It’s a shame as it could be a nice cafe if it wasn’t for the silly mistakes over & over again. I also overheard other customers receiving the wrong orders so it wasn’t just me.

Great park with a lovely selection of animals from around the world. The park is free to use but if you want to see the animals its £1.85 for adults, 95p for children and under 3s are free. Also, the ticket is all day so you can go in as many times as you want that day. Brilliant value for money. Theres Meerkats, guinea pigs, snakes, monkeys, tropical fish, Scottish wildcats, Otters, and many others too. The park itself is large and has lots of trails with interesting features such as waterfalls. There's a children's play park with chutes, swings, climbing apparatus and zip line with many other features for them to enjoy. There's plenty of benches and picnic tables dotted around too. This is definitely a place for families to enjoy and is somewhere my family has been going for over 20 years. Thoroughly recommend.

We decided to take a trip through to airthrill from Edinburgh yesterday and we started at calderglen Country Park. Parking wasn't the best, really busy and quite a few spaces were taken up by contractors and machinery who were there relaying some Of the road, making it hard to turn around. We did eventually get a space though. We sat and had a picnic first ( there are a few picnic tables there) And then took a stroll around the ground, down to the horseshoe waterfall. We then went to the park, really good size, good for all ages. The small zoo was 99p per child and I think £1.99 for adults. There is an indoor area with parots, snakes, meerkats, fish and very cute little monkeys. There is also a outdoor area with quite a few species of birds, some very vocal to my kids delight :) and other animals. We would definitely recommend and would like to return soon.

Had a great day exploring all the amazing walks around Calderglen with the dogs! Picked up a bit of an appetite on the walks so stopped by the Courtyard Cafe and was met by lovely staff members who went above and beyond. Coffees were superb and the food was delish, they even gave us a wee treat for the doggos! Also didnt hurt to be served by one of the cafe workers who was not only polite but also very easy on the eyes, Ross was his name we think! Would recommend!
