This year marks a huge milestone for Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park – we’re turning 55! Since opening our gates in 1970, we’ve been proudly family-owned and run by the Muir family, and we’re still as passionate as ever about sharing the wonders of wildlife with you. (You can find out more about our story in our brand-new Park History webpage.)
To celebrate this special occasion, we’re throwing a very special birthday party! On Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May, join us in the Safari Marquee for a weekend full of fun, laughter, and birthday excitement!
There will be party games, giant bubbles, delicious cake, and even circus skills for the kids to try! Our Education team will also be hosting some fun and interactive activities, so there’s plenty to keep the little ones entertained. To really get the party started, we’ll have some fantastic seventies-themed interactive performers from Rubber Chicken to make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
And that’s not all – we’ve had a special 55th anniversary logo designed, and we’ll be handing out stickers featuring the logo so you can take a piece of the celebration home with you.
In addition to celebrating the park’s 55th, we’ll also be celebrating the birthdays of two of our long-time residents – Mondy, our beloved elephant, and Gill, our cheeky chimp, who are both turning 55 this year too. Don’t forget to say happy birthday to them while you’re here!
This is an event you won’t want to miss, so bring your family and friends, and help us mark this incredible milestone in style. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
