The Wild Takes to the Skies as Brand-new Drone Show is Launched
We are set to take our wildlife experience to new heights this Halloween, with the launch of a spectacular brand-new Safari Skies Drone Show.
For the first time in the Park’s history, hundreds of drones will take to the skies on Saturday 31 October above the Safari Park, transforming into incredible images of the animal kingdom in a breathtaking 12-minute display of light, movement and music.
As darkness falls, guests will be invited to look to the skies as some of the world’s most amazing animals come to life overhead, from the roar of big cats to the unmistakable silhouette of Africa’s tallest animals.
With an atmospheric soundtrack and some spooky surprises along the way, Safari Skies promises to be a spectacular new addition to our popular Halloween offering.
The show will form the grand finale of a full day at the Park, with guests able to arrive from 10am and enjoy the four-mile Safari Drive, Safari Walk areas and all the Spooky Spectacular activities before settling in to watch the skies come alive at 7.30pm.
Bethan Davis, Senior PR & Events Executive, said, “We’re incredibly excited to be introducing something completely new to West Midlands Safari Park this Halloween. This is the first time we’ve brought a drone show to the Park, and we wanted to create something that feels truly spectacular while still having that all-important wildlife connection.
“Seeing hundreds of drones transform into some of the incredible animals that our guests know and love, high above the Park, will be a completely different way to experience wildlife. Combined with our Spooky Spectacular and a full day of Safari Park fun, we think Safari Skies will give families plenty to look forward to this Halloween.”
The family-friendly display is designed to be enjoyed by all ages and, while the music will help bring the show to life, there will be no loud bangs or explosions, making it suitable for younger guests too.
As well as a full day of entertainment including Halloween shows, spooky crafts, new torchlight tours and monster meet and greets, our Adventure Theme Park will be open until 9pm, allowing guests a final chance to experience the rides in the dark.
Tickets include a full day at West Midlands Safari Park, including the four-mile Safari Drive, Safari Walk areas, Spooky Spectacular and the Safari Skies Drone Show. Guests can also choose tickets that include access to the rides.
