A Wild Day Out at Calderglen Zoo & Country Park

The residents of Templeton House Care Home recently embarked on a delightful day trip to Calderglen Zoo & Country Park, a visit that was met with excitement and joy. This adventure, organised by our dedicated activities team, provided our residents with the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature and the company of some adorable animals.

The day began with a scenic drive to Calderglen Zoo & Country Park, where our residents were greeted with the sounds and sights of various animals. From the playful antics of the meerkats to the graceful movements of the exotic birds, the zoo offered a wide array of animals that captured the hearts of everyone in attendance. For many, the chance to observe these creatures up close was a thrilling experience, sparking conversations and smiles throughout the day.

In addition to the zoo, the residents also had the pleasure of exploring the picturesque country park. The lush greenery and peaceful surroundings provided a tranquil setting, perfect for a leisurely stroll and some much-needed fresh air. The outing not only allowed our residents to reconnect with nature but also provided a wonderful opportunity for social interaction, with everyone sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company.

To make the day even more special, the group enjoyed a picnic in one of the park’s beautiful gardens. The residents gathered around, savouring their delicious lunches and basking in the warm sunshine. The laughter and chatter that filled the air were a testament to the joy and relaxation that the day had brought. As a sweet conclusion to their outing, everyone indulged in a refreshing ice cream—a perfect treat to end a perfect day.
