Knowsley Safari Park

We had a wonderful Saturday at Knowsley Safari Park, and the kids thought it was great too. There was simply so much to do and so much to see, the only downside being that the time seemed to go so quickly.

The park opens at 10.00 am and we were there at around 15 minutes past. Knowsley is easy to find and well signposted when you are on the approach to it. Leave the M62 at junction six then leave the M57 at junction two and follow the brown Safari Park signs.


Knowsley safari Park boasts a five mile safari drive with a route lined with animals from all over the world. We saw deer first on our drive and it was great to see these cuties at such close quarters. It is not just the exotic species that it is good getting up close to.

There is no denying though that being in amongst the Tigers and Lions is just amazing. The Tigers on our day were staying away from the traffic but the lions were right there strolling casually around the cars. It was incredible. I have been to safari parks before but I still get excited as if it were my first time.

As we continued the drive, we reached the point where we had to make a decision. To drive through the baboon enclosure or to take the car friendly route. I have seen these animals ripping peoples cars to shreds before, so the car friendly route was taken. The baboons are always good to watch, especially when they are climbing over everyone else’s car. They are forever chasing each other and appear to be having fun, but what appears like play can be deadly serious. They have a very strict hierarchy which must be observed. Any stepping out of line will be dealt with severely.

We continued the safari drive, seeing the Camels, Ostriches and Rhinos, after which we parked the car and went to visit the walk around animal area. Here we could get close to the Elephants, Giraffe, Meerkats and Otters.

We managed to catch the Sealion display in the outdoor exhibition pool which was great and just about fitted in a quick visit to the bug house.

All too soon it was time to return to the car and begin the journey home. Everyone agreed it had been a thoroughly enjoyable day out.

Also to be seen here are numerous varieties of monkey and apes, also birds of prey with flying demonstrations. The amusement park boasts an exciting range of family rides including a minature railway, pirate ship and rollercaoster. There are spacious picnic areas or you can make use of the fast food restaurant. I would recommend a visit to the Knowsley Safari Park to anyone with a fondness for animals or simply looking for something different. It is great for families, children love it.
