The Kelpies & The Helix

About

The Helix, Home of The Kelpies, is a sprawling 350‑hectare park that invites visitors to experience Scotland’s most iconic equine sculptures, standing 30 metres high and weighing over 300 tonnes each. Set against the Forth & Clyde Canal and the River Carron, the park offers a blend of landscaped gardens, woodland, wetlands, a lagoon with a cosy café, and an adventure play area, making it a family‑friendly destination for all ages. At the heart of the park lies the Visitor Centre, which houses a gift shop, café, and dedicated exhibition space that traces the history, design, and cultural significance of the Kelpies. Guests can also book a guided tour—available daily at 10:30, 11:30, 13:30, 14:30, and 15:30 (April‑October) or 10:30, 12:30, and 14:30 (November‑March)—and enjoy a 25‑minute walk inside the sculptural tour through the steel‑clad hulls.

In addition to the spectacular sculptures, The Helix offers extensive walking and cycling routes, a splash‑play area, a lagoon for water activities, and a green‑shop where visitors can purchase Kelpies‑themed merchandise.
