MOTHERWELL GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

An indoor tropical-house visit / MOTHERWELL

Amazonia at M&D’s

Explore a temperature-controlled tropical house with a range of animals, including a nocturnal area. Amazonia is a specific paid indoor attraction within M&D’s, so you can plan it separately from outdoor rides or a broader theme-park day. Check the current visitor programme and take time to look, with any animal-handling session treated as an optional extra subject to availability.

Before you go

Choose the Amazonia ticket you need rather than assuming a ride wristband covers it.

The practical details

Where to find it
M&D’s, Strathclyde Country Park, Motherwell
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking
Book or check the current admission arrangements, opening calendar and last-entry time. Handling sessions cost extra and are not guaranteed by basic entry; outdoor rides have separate schedules and tickets.
Access and getting around
The operator’s disability policy lists Amazonia as wheelchair accessible. Contact the team for specific seating, sensory or assistance needs and check any concession documentation.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children
Children under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult. A warm, enclosed environment and the darker nocturnal area may suit some children more than others; take the visit at their pace.
