It was also designated Scotland's first new town on 6 May 1947.

Calderglen Country Park

Fun park to explore with children's zoo. The park itself is quite big and features various animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, wallabies, marmosets, meerkats, snakes, reptiles and fish.

I came here on Saturday 10th of April 2021 with my wife and 2 year old son. The park has has a children's zoo, tropical glasshouse, ornamental gardens, nature trails, adventure & toddler Play areas, Gift shop, Café, exhibition gallery and a Golf Course! We went to the zoo and adventure & toddler Play areas. The zoo is small and only has some small animals but it's great for under 5's and very cheap to get in. The adventure park has one of the biggest slides I've ever seen and my son went flying down it even though he's only 2 and absolutely loved it!

We spend a lot of time with our grandson and this is a great venue. Dressing up and decent play plus of course the farm. Great cafe and friendly staff team

Wonder World East Kilbride

Reviewed By Mazzo8a8e - East Kilbride, United Kingdom

Recently I was approached by another customer on the Saturday who said one of the staff members was helping my son. He is only two and got stuck in the frame and the customer said he was quite coughing and couldn’t breathe. The first aider who went down (young boy brown hair) to him thank-you ever so much I never caught your name. My son gets quite upset like that and won’t talk to anyone when I’m not there. Thank-you ever so much for helping my little boy. Shows you the staff member actually care about the children xx please please pass this onto the young boy who helped my son it was very much appreciated x ❤️❤️
