Blair Drummond Safari Park Reviews

Today I went to this excellent safari park, with mum dad, aunt and uncle, a small chap, we all liked seeing the animals, I would certainly go back again

Nice park however the opening times on Google where not right and we only had 1.5 hours to try and get round the park and the stands etc where all closing so never got the whole experience. I did try and discuss with the park as we had been gifted the ticket and felt it was a waste. They never offered anything not even a reduced rate for the short visit to the half closed park after a long drive. Make sure you have plenty of time. Hopefully you don't need any customer service as it is poor!

Really well set up and a great day out - plenty to see and keep the kids entertained all day and the ways it is set up makes it really pleasant with a quick effective check in and clean open spaces and a fantastic play station alongside all the animals

It's OK but going down hill with the animals you pay full price which is over 200 pounds for our family. Every one of us ate in the restaurant ordered the same meal and every single one of us has had sickness and diorhea clearly have food poisoning even the baby and it was chicken. We wouldn't return.

A very disappointed visit. It started with the lie they said on their website that made it clear that slots had to be booked online to keep crowds down. So booked a slot and duly arrived at 13:30 only to find the place mobbed beyond believe. So what was the point of limiting my visiting time? Eventually found a parking spot and preceded inside. My 9 year old grandson only got to have 2 rides because the queues for each paid for ride was so long.

Then the cost of these rides are now £2 minimum. And what is it with this silly need to buy tokens which you can't return? Why can't you return them and get your money back when you don't have enough time to queue for the rides.

Thankfully we didn't eat there (we don't have a second mortgage) but we did have an ice-cream. Nearly £15 for 4 ice-creams. Really?

I have been before to Blair Drummond and always thought before it was value for money, now it seems to have joined all the other places and tries to rip you off from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave. I shouldn't suggest this but sure that parking charges will be happening next.

Wait for all the blame going to Covid or rising prices but I think it is just greed because you pay enough to get in.

Love blairdrummond!! We had the best day here with our son and his friend. Plenty for kids to do around the park..paddle boats won it for us!! Zip wire wasn’t running, but staff assured us it was coming back bigger and better..so will defo be back for a shot!!

The drive through safari was the best part! The animals are so close it’s an amazing experience!!
Picnic/bbq areas readily available and plenty of food and coffee stands dotted around. And plenty toilets which were spotless!!

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.

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. 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.

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, 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

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. 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.
