Blair Drummond Safari and Leisure Park, Stirling

Blair Drummond is home to all the celebrities of the animal kingdom: elephants, rhinos and giraffes rub shoulders with big cats, monkeys and bears. There is also a pet farm, housing more down to earth beasts and an adventure playground for children. Extra entertainment is provided by boat trips round Chimp Island, the astraglide slide, little pedal boats and a sea lion show, starring the very talented Clara, Kelpie and Buster. Refreshments are available from the main restaurant or the barbecue chef and there are plenty of picnic tables, should you wish to bring your own feast.
