Easterton Farm Park
WHERE
Glasgow
What it’s like
Riding lessons and a working farm to explore, with a café that stops serving hot food at 4pm.
The riding school is the main event here, running most days of the week with lessons that go on well into the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Beyond the saddle, there's the general run of a working farm to get stuck into, with animals to meet and a chance to actually learn how the place operates rather than just gawping through a fence.
It's not a quick stop. Between watching a lesson, having a wander round the animals and stopping for food, you could easily lose a few hours here. Oscar's Cafe does homemade meals rather than just a vending machine and a packet of crisps, which makes a difference when you've got a hungry kid on your hands, but the kitchen shuts at 4pm even though the café stays open until 5.
One thing worth flagging: don't trust your sat nav postcode for this one. The site's own advice is to search for Easterton Farm Park by name on Google Maps instead, which suggests the postcode routes you somewhere unhelpful. Worth sorting out before you set off rather than when you're already lost down a farm track.

Plan your visit
What can kids do there?
Horse riding lessons are the big draw, and there's the farm itself to explore with animals and a look at how farming works day to day.
What are the riding school hours?
It varies by day. Tuesdays and Thursdays it runs 10am to 8pm, and the other days it's 10am to 5pm.
What about food?
Oscar's Cafe does homemade meals, snacks and treats, open 9am to 5pm every day. The kitchen itself closes at 4pm, so don't leave lunch too late.
Do we need to book?
There's nothing on booking listed, so it's likely you can just turn up, though for riding lessons specifically it would make sense to check ahead given the structured time slots.
How do we find it?
Don't rely on the postcode in your sat nav. The site says to search for Easterton Farm Park by name on Google Maps instead.
