There’s more to do at Bridgeton! Visit Family Day on July 27th and experience our regular attractions and more – at no extra cost. Your Wee Happy Bus has cab, bell, sounds and ticket machine. It’s a sure hit with youngsters. SIM 1 is for bigger kids and adults. The three-screen, high-tech bus driving experience tilts as you brake and rocks as you roll round corners. The simulator was purchased by Stagecoach co-founder Sir Brian Souter and accepted on long-term loan by GVVT chairman Steven Booth. Find it by Your Wee Happy Shop, supported by two ride-on Playstation 5 bus simulators.
