Calderglen estate

Calderglen zoo

A day at Calderglen zoo will allow you and your family to discover a wide range of exotic and endangered animals. This includes owls, coatis, marmosets, wallabies, and the ever popular and watchful meerkats.

Gift shop

Situated in the Conservatory, the gift shop is the first port of call for many visitors. Here you can buy tickets to the zoo and gardens and get information about the park. The gift shop offers a wide range of souvenirs, preserves, confectionery and pocket money gifts for children.

Conservatory / gardens

Take a break from the weather and visit the conservatory and ornamental garden. The tropical displays of plants from around the world are a must see, especially for any keen gardener.

The Courtyard café

The Courtyard café offers a wide range of tempting hot and cold snacks or something more substantial. Try the daily specials within a welcoming atmosphere, where staff pride themselves on their customer service.

Nature trails

There are over eight miles of nature trails at Calderglen, where nature lovers and ramblers alike can enjoy a walk through the woods or along the banks of the River Calder. Calderglen's four official nature trails all start from the Information Point at the top of the main drive. Download A Walk in the Park leaflet.
