What is there to do at Knowsley Safari Park?

The drive is broken up into different zones where you will see the animals, in as close to natural conditions as they can achieve. The lion enclosure is particularly impressive and there is a car-friendly and non-car friendly drive through to see their baboons.

You can also explore part of the zoo on foot. Their foot safari offers everything from sea lion displays, play areas, meerkats, giraffes and a new tiger trail. They also have amusement rides, a train and a boating lake (additional cost for the rides) plus a woodland walk through the Wild Trail.

Rides in the amusement area include a carousel, dodgems, a pirate ship, swing chairs, bumblebees and more. Some of the rides have height restrictions. Ride tickets are £2 each, unlimited wristbands are £10 per person.

They can also host your child’s birthday party. Animal experiences are also available for a wide range of animals. Some of the experiences have a minimum age and some are especially for families. Experiences include lions, giraffes, tigers, sea lions, birds of prey and zookeepers.
