An amusement park in North Lanarkshire is hosting free daily dinosaur shows to entertain children this summer.

Running until August 11, M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park promises a 'roaring time' with life-like dinosaurs including a star Velociraptor and its baby cubs.

The How to Train Your Velociraptor show will take place every day at 12.30pm, 2pm, 3.30pm and 5pm, offering special appearances throughout the day.

The theme park, located next to Strathclyde Country Park, has also teamed up with First Bus to provide a bus service from Buchanan Bus Station to facilitate visitors' travel.

Jensen Taylor Connelly said: “Visitors will be amazed by how real the dinosaurs look.

“The Velociraptor is so striking, children and adults will be captivated by them.

“We appreciate how challenging it can be keeping children entertained over the summer and these free shows are a great opportunity to plan a fun day out for all the family.”
