A major theme park is ready to open for the season.

M&D's Scotland Theme Park in Motherwell is celebrating a new year of amusements with an exciting new addition to its offering.

This year customers will be able to dine at the largest Monterey Jack's restaurant in Scotland during their time at the theme park.

M&D's is hosting a special preview weekend on Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26.

Families are invited to check out popular rides and attractions.

Outdoor rides will be open from 12pm until 5.30pm with a half-hour break between 2.30pm and 3pm.

To mark the opening weekend, wristbands will be available online for £10 each if purchased 24 hours in advance for the duration of the preview.

Wristbands will cost £12 if customers pay in person on the day.

Unlimited access to outdoor rides including Captain's Curse, Big Apple, Twister, the Pirate Train, and more are included with the wristbands.

Other attractions include a "breath-taking" aerial adventure course called the Walk the Plank Sky Trail, adventure golf, and indoor activities like Cosmic Bowl and Krazy Congo Soft Play.

On-site indoor rainforest Amazonia will also be open and packed with over 60 species of exotic animals.

Jensen Taylor Connelly said: “It’s always a landmark date in our calendar as we look forward to welcoming visitors once again to the Theme Park.

“We’ve been busy recruiting new staff and have opened Scotland’s largest Monterey Jack’s restaurant on site. 

"Planning is well underway for Easter activities, including a family Silent Disco and there will be lots more additions to come.”

Entry to the theme park is free. For parents who want to join in on the fun, a new adult and toddler wristband package is available.
