Some of the fossilized remains of those ancient forests can be found in the Fossil Grove which is located within Glasgow’s Victoria Park (located in the Whiteinch area of the city).
No wait required as this is part of the public park, no entrance fee either. Can easily spend about an hour here or more.
Its a fantastic location it should be promoted more and open 7 days a week. Instead its only open Sat - Sunday. its been getting run down since the computer was damaged and parks dept have not repaired the computer generated program.
Its still worth a visit but could be better improved what needs is gift shop and more care from local city council to promote this unique historical site. added couple images let you see.
Love this place, tucked away in Victoria Park. My parents brought me here every Sunday afternoon as a child and it holds many special memories for me. I remember when the pond was filled with goldfish and the size of them was staggering. They were enormous. It's our own Jurassic Park and it's brilliant.
Tried to visit on Sunday August 1st 2021 when it should have been opened but it was shut. Oh well Victoria Park is still nice but came specifically to see the fossils.
Shame the main building is closed but the area around it is worth exploring too.
Google opening times not accurate. Its only open one Sunday a month, over the summer now. Fantastic place, but check website before travelling!
Seems this place is permanently closed, was not working at stated working hours and looks like the building is in decay. Was sorry to see that because I learned about this place while majoring geology...
Beautiful place to visit....🍁❄️👍
