Calderglen Zoo opened in 1982 and is home to over 50 different species, some of which are critically endangered. Being about an acre in size, the zoo specialises in small creatures. You will discover meerkats, families of monkeys, noisy kookaburras, cheeky ring tailed coati, and burrowing owl.
Calderglen Zoo doesn’t have the big-name animals to rival Edinburgh Zoo, but for the tiny admission fee you won’t be complaining. This family-friendly menagerie occupies a small corner of Calderglen Country Park on the edge of East Kilbride, and has around 50, mostly fun-sized species housed around an attractive garden area, with a few more inside a warm conservatory.

Next to the main car park in Calderglen Country Park, off A726 1 mi southeast of East Kilbride town centre
