FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES, INSPIRATION FOR DAYS OUT & LOTS OF FUN

Briarlands Farm

farm next to safari park stirling

We have been to Briarlands Farm a couple of times in the past few months and we have had such a brill day every time. Even when the weather’s been a bit crappy.

My parents got us and the kids annual passes for Christmas last year, after I lost my engagement ring in their giant hay pit last November. (Some of you might remember that saga and how absolutely amazing Mary and the staff were in helping me get it back.) So we’ve been quite a few times this past year and have had a great day out each time.

farm next to safari park stirling

The first things you find when you go outside are the big bouncy pillows. A huge hit with both my kids. They absolutely love these things. (As do I to be honest; they’re quite fun. You do have to practise your pelvic floor control a bit though…) There are two at Briarlands Farm; one is specifically for the little kids. The little man gets really annoyed when bigger kids have the audacity to jump near him and make his life terribly difficult. So having one of these just for wee ones is quite nice.

Their new fort-style play area with slides and tunnels proved quite popular with the little lady this year. As are their various climbing frames and assault courses which are dotted around the place.

farm next to safari park stirling

There are tractors and cars for the little kids to play on, small go karts that the little lady can now pedal herself. And much bigger go karts that she most definitely can’t go herself yet (her legs need to grow half a metre first!) There’s also a big tractor for kids to sit in which I’ve had to fight many a time to get them both out of!

Dotted around the field there are some other activities including a sand pit and archery and a maze. Plus there’s the hay pit where they sometimes have things hidden for you to find, and a little football play bit too.

farm next to safari park stirling

There’s a little barn containing a bunch of guinea pigs, some rabbits and other bigger animals depending on the time of year. The little lady got to feed a lamb from a bottle earlier in the year in this barn which was very exciting.

Around the outer edge of the farm there are fields with some animals; pigs, sheep, goats, cows and horses. (You can feed some of them with the animal feed available in the shop.)

farm next to safari park stirling

You can also take a tractor ride around the farm. We haven’t yet, because every time we’ve been it’s been far too hot to sit on a tractor. Either that or the little man has just not been up for sitting. At all. But it looks like a fun tractor ride!

The Tearoom

The tearoom at Briarlands Farm is definitely one of the nicer ones to get some lunch in and is a big selling point for me. I have once gone there just to have lunch and a play inside without even going to the farm. They serve up hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, potatoes, soups and salads.

farm next to safari park stirling

They have a good kids menu too; far better than most of the soft plays and other family attractions around. It’s more like stuff I’d feed the kids for lunch myself rather than the standard pizza, chicken nuggets or a cheese sandwich you tend to get in many places.

Briarlands also does a lovely selection of cakes and bakes. The homemade custard creams are absolutely amazing. I can highly recommend those!

farm next to safari park stirling

The tearoom has a small soft play area in it with a ball pit, a little slide and lots of toys; kitchens, dress up, baby toys, giant connect 4… It’s a great, low stress place to eat with kids, and both my kids absolutely love playing in here.

The Extra Bits

One of the things I really like about the farm at Briarlands is that you can set up a picnic blanket in the middle. It’s so flat you can pretty much see your kids no matter which bit of the farm they play on.

farm next to safari park stirling

Briarlands Farm have strawberry picking during the strawberry season.

For the past few years they have had a really nice bonfire night event. There are no fireworks (too scary for the animals) but kids can play on the climbing frames and hay bales. And then the bonfire gets lit when it’s dark. You can also get yourself some chips and a roll and sausage from the cafe while the kids warm up in the soft play. It’s only on for a few hours but it was £3 (I think) and a really nice evening.

farm next to safari park stirling

Entry to the tea room and soft play area is free. If you’re going outside into the farm then entry is £5.75 for adults and £7.75 for children. All the outdoor activities are included in the price except tractor rides and the mini diggers which are all £1. You can also buy bags of animal feed for 50p. Season passes are available too.

farm next to safari park stirling

The Verdict

Briarlands Farm is a great place for a run around, for jumping and climbing, for letting off some steam and for meeting cute animals. The tearoom at Briarlands is lovely too (their giant custard creams are absolutely amazing). It has a wee indoor play area with lots of toys where you can eat your lunch. And the kids can play while you finish your cuppa! It’s also reasonably priced for entry. Highly recommended.

Briarlands Farm is located at Blair Drummond, FK9 4XQ approximately 40 minutes from Glasgow (next to Blair Drummond Safari Park) just outside Stirling.

Blair Drummond Safari Park Visitor Guide

blair drummond safari park pin

Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park in Stirlingshire is Scotland’s only safari park. This family-friendly attraction is home to over 350 animals, many of which are free to roam the 120-acre estate. Visitors can enjoy a drive through several enclosures before entering a large animal-themed adventure park that features a zoo, fun-fair rides, restaurants and cafes, and play parks.

Blair Drummond Safari Park

Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park, located near Stirling, is the only safari park in Scotland, and it’s also one of the country’s busiest tourist attractions. Covering more than 120 acres, the park contains several enclosures that are home to a variety of animals, mainly from Africa and Asia, along with a few inhabitants from closer to home.

Visitors can drive through each reserve in their car and get some great close-up views of the free-roaming animals before heading into the adventure park on foot. Once inside the park, there are lots of attractions to keep visitors entertained such as Lemur Land, Chimp Island, the bird of prey habitat, and Pets Farm, to name a few.

Other attractions include fairground rides and amusements, a pirate ship and adventure fort, as well as a boat safari, pedal boats, dodgems, a rollercoaster, and a carousel. Meanwhile, food and drink are catered for with a restaurant and several snack outlets.

Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park also has a more serious side as it’s involved with conservation initiatives like the Giraffe Conservation Foundation  and the AfriCat Foundation . In addition, the park’s education team regularly gives talks on the elephants, tigers, rhinos, and other animals they care for.

Blair Drummond Lemur

The Highlights

1: Drummond Safari Park provides a unique opportunity to see a wide range of animals in drive-through reserves and walk-around areas. Visitors can enjoy close-up views of exotic species like lions, rhinos, giraffes, and elephants, all from the safety and comfort of their own vehicles.

2: The park isn’t just about animal viewing; it also offers adventure and play areas designed for children. These include outdoor playgrounds, a giant astraglide slide, pedal boats, and a flying fox zip wire.

1: The park participates in breeding programmes for endangered species and works with various conservation projects. Visitors can learn about these efforts and gain insight into the importance of preserving our natural world through educational talks and interactive displays.

Visiting Tips

1: Since many activities are outdoors, the weather can impact your experience. Dress appropriately and consider taking waterproof clothing or sunscreen, depending on the conditions.

2: To avoid lines and potentially save money, purchase your tickets online before your visit. This can also help you take advantage of online discounts or special offers.

3: The park can get busy, especially on weekends and during school holidays. Arriving early not only helps you beat the crowds but also gives you a full day to explore without feeling rushed.

Blair Drummond Safari Park

Tourist Information

There are a huge number of activities for families to enjoy during their visit to Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park, although the highlight has to be driving through the reserves to get up close and personal with the animals on display. There are four main reserves to drive through, and each one showcases animals from various parts of the world in habitats that have been designed to be as close as possible to their own natural environments.

The African reserve features non-carnivorous native African species like zebras and white rhinoceros, while the lion reserve is home to a pride of African lions. The lion reserve, in particular, is a great enclosure as it features a raised walkway that can be accessed on foot from inside the park, so you can get a different perspective on the lions once you’ve finished the drive-through safari.

The other two reserves are the Monkey Jungle, which houses a troop of Barbary macaques, and the Asian Reserve, which contains herbivores native to Asia such as deer and camels. All the reserves are well-maintained, and the animals appear to be very happy in their habitats, which is great to see.

Blair Drummond Giraffe

Once you’ve finished the safari, it’s time to leave the car behind and set out on foot into the adventure park where you’ll discover various enclosures that are more like the ones you’d find in a zoo. In this area, visitors will see African elephants, rhinos, and giraffes alongside great apes on Chimp Island and ring-tailed lemurs in Lemur Land.

Next to Lemur Land is a lake that you can explore on a pedal boat, but if you prefer a more leisurely cruise you can take a ride on the boat safari which sails around Chimp Island. I highly recommend taking the boat trip as it’s a great way to see the park’s troop of chimpanzees foraging about in the undergrowth.

If you have children and they’re not too exhausted after seeing all the animals, you can take them to a couple of other areas to burn off their remaining energy. First is an enormous wooden fort that has a bird’s nest and slides, and second is a pirate ship that can be found inside a giant sandpit.

Both play parks have picnic benches and BBQ areas nearby, or you can use the on-site restaurant and cafe. There’s also an outside dining area that allows parents to keep watch while the kids are having fun.

Blair Drummond Boating

Things to Do

Safari Drive-Thru : Embark on an exciting self-drive safari to see zebras, ostriches, bison, and monkeys roam free in the park. Don’t forget to make sure all your windows are closed as you drive, and if you have a convertible, make sure the roof is up before you enter the lion enclosure!

Keeper Talks : The team at Blair Drummond Safari Park holds daily talks about the most popular animals, including what they like to eat, where they come from, and how they manage to survive in the challenging conditions of the modern world. Conservation is a key aspect of the talks, but they’re also fun and engaging for children.

Sea Lion Show: Enjoy the clever California sea lions’ daily live training demonstrations as they display their agility skills. The keepers also provide insightful commentary about the natural behaviours of these animals in a show that’s easily one of the most popular in the entire park.

Bird of Prey Centre : See an incredible collection of eagles, hawks, and owls at the Bird of Prey Centre. The daily flying demonstrations are a must-see, as you can watch these magnificent creatures soar through the sky and learn about their crucial role in the ecosystem.

Adventure Playground : The park’s adventure playground is a fun-filled area with a fortress, pirate ship, and giant slides. Kids can burn off energy while parents relax in a nearby seating area with a coffee in hand, knowing their children are in a safe and secure environment. The playground is designed to be inclusive, so children of all abilities can enjoy it.
