Taxi to The Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel
Pre-book private hire from Falkirk stations, hotels and town to Helix Park, the Falkirk Wheel and back.

Taxi from Falkirk station to The Kelpies, without the bus puzzle.
Standing 30 metres tall at Helix Park, The Kelpies are Scotland's most photographed public art. Trains stop at Falkirk Grahamston or Falkirk High, not at the sculptures, so a pre-booked taxi is the simple last mile.
Book a taxi from Falkirk Grahamston to The Kelpies, a hop to the Falkirk Wheel, or a return after the evening light show. Waiting time can be included so you are not hunting for a rank cab when you are ready to leave.

Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel taxi FAQ
How to get a taxi to The Kelpies, Helix Park and the Falkirk Wheel from Falkirk stations.
How do I get a taxi from Falkirk Grahamston to The Kelpies?
Pre-book private hire for your train time. Grahamston to Helix Park is about 2 miles, typically 7-10 minutes. The walk is around 40 minutes, and station ranks are not guaranteed, which is why visitors book ahead.
Can you take me from The Kelpies to the Falkirk Wheel?
Yes. The two sites are about 10-15 minutes apart by road (the canal walk is much longer). We can wait, or collect you later. That hop is awkward by bus with luggage or children.
Do you offer private hire for the Kelpies night light show?
Yes. Evening buses thin out. Book a late pickup from Helix Park so you are not stuck after the lights. We run 24/7 for pre-booked journeys.
How long is a taxi from Falkirk High or Grahamston to Helix Park?
Typically 7-10 minutes from Grahamston (about 2 miles). Falkirk High is further, usually around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. We quote when we accept the booking.
Can the driver wait while we visit The Kelpies?
Yes if you ask at booking. Waiting time can be included in a Day Highlights package, or we can drop you and return at an agreed time.
Can you pick up from Edinburgh or Glasgow for a Kelpies day trip?
Yes. Edinburgh or Glasgow hotel pickup, both landmarks, and a return. That is quoted as a longer private hire, not a local town trip. Tell us group size so we send the right vehicle.
