Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park
Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park is situated approximately 4 miles from Stirling on the A84 heading towards Doune. Set in 120 acres of beautiful woodland, the Safari Park has many attractions and features to appeal to visitors of all ages.
Located on a beautiful 160-acre estate just outside Stirling, Blair Drummond is one of the area’s most popular visitor attractions and home to some of its most fascinating inhabitants. There are over 300 animals at Blair Drummond, including giraffes, tigers, and chimpanzees, all cared for by an expert team of keepers and vets.
With activities to suit all ages, this is a full day out! You’ll get up close and personal with lions, rhinos, and monkeys in the drive-thru reserves, come face to face with lemurs in their walk-through enclosure, and learn about the safari park’s role in the conservation of endangered species at educational talks throughout the day.
Meet the dinosaurs in their prehistoric forest. The dinosaur exhibit has over 20 life-size dinosaurs, including velociraptors, triceratops, stegosaurus, flying Pteranodons, and an oviraptor with eggs. The largest dinosaur is a 21m diplodocus, and the most fearsome is the iconic T-Rex.
Don’t forget to catch one of the seriously impressive flying displays at the Bird of Prey centre. Learn more about these incredible birds of prey as they soar, swoop and dive in their stunning surroundings.

Just completed last year, the brand-new sea lion habitat California Cove is a must-see. The indoor sea lion display won’t restart until later in the year, but you will be able to see them in their outdoor pool and find out more about them in twice-daily live training demonstrations.

There is a huge adventure playground with a fort, pirate ship and a sand pit, swings, slides, and a net rope to climb- a chance for the kids to burn off excess energy and Mum & Dad to catch their breath or relax with a coffee or an ice cream. There is also a giant astroglide slide, pedal boats, and go-karts. All the above is included in the ticket price. Funfair rides incur a small, extra charge.
You can eat in the main restaurant or at one of the smaller outlets, use the BBQ area or bring a picnic – there are numerous picnic tables and benches dotted all around the Safari Park. To round off your day don’t forget to visit one of the gift shops.
The Safari Park is “wheelchair friendly” with access to viewing ramps for the lions, tigers, rhinos, giraffes, and elephant. An access guide for the park is available at blairdrummond.com.
On site, there is also a Changing Places Toilet, a specialised facility that includes a height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench and a tracking hoist system. It provides the equipment and space for people with profound learning disabilities and severely limited mobility to use the toilet safely and comfortably.
