Safari park roaring to go after easing of Covid restrictions

Blair Drummond Safari Park in Stirlingshire is set to reopen from tomorrow (Saturday) - for Stirling residents only.

The move is in line with Scottish Government guidance which allows zoos and safari parks in Scotland to open to provide a safe, outdoor environment for local residents.

Blair Drummond says numerous safety measures have been put in place to keep everyone safe. These include a limit on the number of tickets, capped at less than a third of usual capacity.

All tickets must also be pre-booked online. The park is open for residents of Stirling local authority area only whilst the travel restrictions remain in place.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the safari drive-thru, as usual, from the safety of their own car. Managers at the park have installed a one-way walking route through the other attractions in the 160 acre site, including the dinosaurs, giraffes, tigers and adventure play areas.

Park manager Gary Gilmour said: “We are looking forward to welcoming our local visitors back from March 20.

“Visitors will notice lots of measures in place, and some areas of the park will be operating a little differently than usual.

“The safety of our visitors, staff and animals is our highest priority and we’ve worked hard to ensure that the new operating procedures allow everyone to enjoy a safe and fun day out.”
