Visited a really nice farm today - thought I would share

[geordieminx]

Briarlands Farm Its right next to Blairdrummond safari park, Stirling.

It was really really lovely. Aimed at under 7's I would say - bascially huge big field, loads of bits and pieces to play on - big bouncy pillows, go-karts, the most amazing wooden slide/climbing frames, sand pit etc.

Was a really chilled day out, and could have spent longer there had we brought a picnic and not headed to Dobbies

I'd never heard of it before, but will def be heading back!

It looked fab when we passed last week, there was a sign up to say that from July to September they also have a Maize maze!

(we were on the way to the safari park)

Am going to try and add this to the "Days Out" category on the Local page with your comments - is that ok?

How much was the entry fee?

DUH!!! No need to reply I've just seen your link to their web site.

That looks fab. Thanks for the tip.

It was IMO quite expensive, so worth taking a picnic and spending the day there - oh and you need to have socks on to go on indoor slides.. although their gift shop sells them

Still, cheaper than Blair Drummond, which is eye-wateringly expensive.

It also opens earlier than BD, so handy for a coffee if (like us) you turn up too early because your children insist on getting up at crack of blimmin dawn.

Actually, scrub that, I wasnt taking about this place, this place wasnt £££, I was thinking I had started this about Heads of Ayr park which was ££££, and not as much to do as Blair Drummond.

This place fab and cheap and near dobbies for cake salad.

I actually dont mind paying to get into Blair Drummond for some reason? Blardy Heads of Ayr cost us £25 for 2 adults and a 3 year old. Grrr

have you tried mabie farm park? i went to it a couple of months back and thought it was much better than heads of ayr and cheaper to think it was £20 for 2 adults and 2 kids and theres an additional charge for tractor rides etc. you can also buy food for the animals and theres animal handling sessions aswell.

Where is it?

Thanks - just googled. That looks nice, although tis a bit of a hike for us as we are in Glasgow.

Will def bookmark though!
