Lovely family walk with kids and dogs to the viewpoint. Plenty to keep us interested and a great visitor centre.

A really wonderful few hours/day out. We went to the visitor centre which has great views over the site - really impressive how far it extends. Had lunch there which is a limited menu of sandwiches, soup and butties plus baked goods but good value. The exhibition centre is good fun with some hands-on exhibits which became competitive. We went on the bus tour which was very informative and gets you onto the site quickly, though I thought it would go deeper into the site. It is worth either taking the tour or going for a walk to stand under one of the windmills - really incredible how large and how quiet they are, Great site for walking and cycling as people were doing - do take a map though as it looks flat but the rolling relief makes one bit look like the rest. Parking is ample and free as is a visit to the centre. Only the bus tour carries a charge adults £3 and kids over 5 - £2.

A good place to visit and very interesting to get so close to the huge turbines. Many miles of tracks to walk or cycle make it a great place for families

My husband and I had a really enjoyable experience visiting Whitelee. The interactive activities are excellent fun but the highlight of the visit was the bus tour. Costing only a few pounds it was fabulous. There were only 3 of us but our guide (Martin I think!) was excellent. We learnt so much and the tour lasted an hour because we had so many questions. We then walked a couple of miles to a viewing point. We finished our visit by enjoying coffee and cake in the cafe. Would definitely recommend a visit if in the area.

My partner,myself & our 3 dogs had our very first visit to Whitelee Wind Farm today (Nov 3rd 2013). We weren't sure what to expect but we were not disappointed in the slightest by any part of the trip. The guides & other staff members could not have been any more helpful if they tried!! The facilities were excellent, cafe, exhibition room, toilets, maps of the area (free!) & a small gift shop. We had a great walk with the dogs, there are MILES of track to walk or cycle around, and then we stopped for tea & cake in the cafe which was good value for money. There was a water bowl available for the dogs (bonus), & if you are a cyclist the facilities for storing & cleaning your bikes are excellent. All in all a great experience!!!! WELL DONE WHITELEE !!!!!

A very interesting visitor attraction. The interactive displays are excellent for all ages. It was really amazing to see the size of the windmills. A really good walk round but even in summer it is advisable to wrap up well as Eaglesham Moor is very cold.

Nice to cycle up to the visitor centre and see the 215 odd turbines laid out in front of you. Lock the bike up in the sheds provided and have a cup of tea & cake in the visitor centre cafe.

This could have been simply hundreds of windmills across moorland. It is that, of course, but it is so much more - great for walking, for cycling of all types, magnificent visitor centre with lots for kids to do and a lovely tearoom with a panoramic view. Brilliantly thought out and a great credit to the power company. They've thought of everything, even showers for tired and dusty bikers!

Hi AllJust visited with my 5 year old and 12 year old child and it is a wonderful place to visit with the kids.Being easter week, there were lot of activities arranged for the kids, egg hunt, crafting etc etc and also to know the basics about renewable energy (wind mills).At the visitor center exibition room, a couple of self interactive learning exercise about wind mills and really it was a nice place to start with to learn about wind mills. had a wonderful time pass within the visitor centre.also if u have bikes, it a good place to go around the windmills on bikes.

Unfortunately we visited on a truly horrible day when the rain was battering down and the cloud level was low, so we could really get amungst the wind turbines themselves, so we spent time at the visitors centre. It is a great centre with kids activities starting every 45 mins and from the ones on our day were engaging (build a wind tower!). There are plenty of people on hand to talk to and help out. There is a science centre area with hands on experiments in wind that you can try. Some of the videos were a shade one sided in their arguments, but this is no different than any other power station pushing their technology. We had a good day out here, and a wee cake in the café.
