Quiet Morning

28th April 2024

Join us for our first Quiet Morning at the Safari Park

To celebrate World Autism Awareness Month, we are pleased to be hosting the first of our Quiet Mornings at West Midlands Safari Park.

We will be opening the Park at the earlier time of 9am, especially for guests who would like to explore the Safari Walk area with limited stimulation.

Music will be turned off, as will any immersive sounds around the rest of our walk-through areas, until 10:30am (when the Adventure Theme Park opens).

We will also be opening our Treetops Pavilion event space, where guests can take part in some sensory crafts, or look at some animal artefacts with our Education Team. This will also be a quiet space for any guests who feel like they may need a break from the fun.

Guests attending the Quiet Morning will also have an open Safari Drive time slot, giving them more flexibility during their day. Guests who require a flexible Safari Drive ticket should visit the Ticket Office during their visit to acquire a pass. Please note, you will still need to select a Safari Drive time slot when purchasing your tickets online. We'd always recommend time slots after 2pm as these often have fewer cars around the Safari Drive.
