M&D’s is a popular amusement park situated in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire. Bordering Strathclyde Park, this destination features an array of attractions ranging from fairground-style rides to an indoor tropical house. The site is a significant local landmark that has seen recent growth, including an approved expansion proposal in 2018.
The park is notable for its diverse entertainment options, such as Amazonia, which is the only indoor rainforest in Scotland. Visitors can explore a giant amusement arcade with over 150 games, enjoy a performance by the High Diving Pirates during the summer, or play eighteen holes of miniature golf at Devil’s Island. For those staying longer, the on-site Alona Hotel offers a glasshouse restaurant with views over Strathclyde Loch.
Thrill-seekers can experience the Air Raid, which spins users at high speeds, or ride the Runaway Mine Train roller coaster. Families with younger children can enjoy the Big Apple caterpillar coaster, the "Flying Dumbos" ride, or the Krazy Congo indoor soft play area. From the three-lane Moby's Revenge water slide to the Cosmic Bowl, there are activities designed for guests of all ages to enjoy.
