This is a fantastic day out for the family. We have visited Knowsley Safari Park every summer for the last three or four years, and still enjoy it! Ticket prices are reasonable for the amount of time we spend there, and when compared with similar venues. It costs £12.00 per adult ticket and £9.00 per child ticket, or you can get a family ticket for £37.00, and children under 3 years old are allowed in for free. This year, I had collected some of those vouchers from the Kelloggs cereal packets, so we used them and got four tickets for the price of two, which was brilliant! When you buy your ticket you can also buy a glossy booklet with pictures of the ...

Knowlsey Safari Park is situated in Merseyside and we visited here a few years sgo and had a fantastic day out. It was very reasonably priced for entry and you basically are given a map and drive round the entire park which is massive. The map shows you the location of each group of animals, some areas you can get out of your car to have a look but others you are advised to stay in your car for very obvious reasons! I think these safari pasrks are best known for their chimp pens and Knowlsey is no different, although you can bypass this part if you don't want to get your car damaged! We did decide to go through the chimp pen ...

History Knowsley safari park has been a great family attraction for over 35 years, it was first opened to the public in July 1971 by the earl of derby. The safari park is only 8 miles from Liverpool city centre, Knowsley was the first safari park to be built close to a large city. When the park was built there was extreme apprehension about the possible problems associated with large numbers of animals (including lions) roaming about close to the city, but the park has gone to extreme lengths and succeeded to trade for the past 37years. When the park opened in 1971 it was unique, as it had the concept or cars being allowed in while the ...
