Rated 5 out of 5 stars

We've been to the Safari park a number of times in the past usually as it opens in March and thoroughly enjoyed the experience around the park, it's generally quieter at that time of year.... See more

Turned away at gate for not booking. Who knew? Disgusted at way that I was basically asked to leave. Place must be managed by complete airheads with zero intelligence. Wasn’t that busy. Why can’t you... See more

We have always wanted to visit so took the 3hr drive up and was not disappointed. Well worth the entrance fee. Didn't get his name but the lad who did the bird of prey talk was absolutely brilliant. W... See more

Christmas experience wasnt very christmassy. I was expecting a little more. This was disappointing for us.

Other than that the safari park is lovely and looks like its getting some new work done at the moment which is exciting. We will be back in the spring time.

Great day out …

Visited the safari park today with family my grandson of 3 and half absolutely loved it as did his parents and grandparents thought the dinasoraus section was fabulous as was the barbecue area plenty to see and do and we were very lucky as the lions were running around playing very near us so got a great view of them hopefully will return next year when the baby is older and can appreciate it to .

Turned away at gate for not booking

Turned away at gate for not booking. Who knew? Disgusted at way that I was basically asked to leave. Place must be managed by complete airheads with zero intelligence. Wasn’t that busy. Why can’t you turn up and have a nice day out? That’s how these places have always worked. Spontaneous visits make money. Need new management at this dunghole rapid style.Blair Drummond safari park can go suck a fat one for all I care. Extremely disappointing experience. Complete waste of time.

Great safari park, poor food.

The safari park itself is a fantastic day out but and this is a huge but the food is poor quality and poor value for money. We ordered 6 meals, 4 children's which you would expect to be on the small side but this we ridiculous the children we're still hungry at £4.50 each we expected more. Now to the adult's meals slightly larger than the children's portions and I mean slightly bigger (they might have been fuller on these).
My husband ordered the fish and chips which wasn't great quality and at £9.00 not value for money, the fish was obviously cheap. As for my lunch, it was okay but nothing to write home about, again a small portion & not great quality.

It's a shame as we did bring lunch with us but decided to treat the children, the food was no treat, we'll pass in future.

Very disappointing

Very disappointing, as most attractions were closed, i.e. seals, boat to monkey Island, tiger platform. We were challenged twice by staff to wear a mask, when we were in Lemur land (which was outside). There was a ridiculous sign outside saying wear a mask incase you gave the lemurs Covid. Lots of food outlets were closed too. The best part was the Dinosaur section. When we came out of the Farm section, I could not wash my kids hands due to no taps working. Land rovers were shut and the funfair was shut, the place had no atmosphere. It was raining and not enough sheltered areas to sit.

Took my daughter here 2 weeks ago for a day out due to not being able to travel down south, we had a great day the only thing I would say is no need for the tiger bridge to be closed this kind of disappointed my 4 year old apart from that great park as always

Great Day Out

Been promoting this through my work for many years now and its always been well attended.
This is a fabulous day out.
Would highly recommend
It offers a great range of activities in addition to visiting the animals.
You can take your own food and use their free barbeque service, which is excellent especially with kids to feed.
Would highly recommend this for a day trip in Central Scotland.
Never disappointed and always impressed.

Recent trip there with family

Recent trip there with family. Unfortunately my car keys fell into the boating pond leaving us stranded there. Staff were very supportive and did everything they could to get the keys back. Young girls working there spent at least two hours attempting to fish them out. Baring in mind this pond was black and there was no way of seeing the keys. Totally My fault and it did upset the day but by no means was there any blame on the safari. Anyway after parents delivered spare keys to us we managed to get on with our day out which went much smoother afterwards. Can laugh about it now but have to say the girls put in a valiant effort and could have done nothing more. Btw Blair Drummond if you happen to dredge the pond and find my keys please get in touch. Still despite this incident would definitely return.

Booked a visit for 4pm until 7

Booked a visit for 4pm until 7, pouring with rain when we got there. We still had three hours of great fun with our grandson. I wasn't expecting too much given the current restrictions, but it was still fabulous. Haven't been for a while and the dinosaur attraction is a fantastic addition to the park. Our grandson had a super day and we loved every minute. And a very special mention to the young members of staff that quite frankly made it an even better day, polite courteous and always smiling despite the persistent rain 👍😉🤗
