    Knowsley Safari Park. Very poor value for money. Having paid in excess of £40 for our party of mainly under fives and accompanying adults, I feel pretty disappointed. I would expect a day full of safari type activities, but we left after a few hours and three trips round the safari drive (deer, pea fowl, lethargic lions, more deer and antelopes, more deer, bison, more pea fowl, long horned cattle, baboons, monkeys more types of deer, emus, ostriches, rhinos, more deer, camels, more antelope type creatures, an apparently singular caged tiger, and three camera shy bongos.) No free roaming zebra, elephants, giraffes, for example. Lion enclosure most interesting - a car broke down in there today! Clearly overheated in the traffic jam...

    Very few "key" animals in relatively short safari drive and far too many additional payment attractions (fairground type rides and arcade amusements) which had little to do with the nature of the venue. Felt that wheelchair access to other "on foot" attractions (giraffe enclosures and elephant enclosures) was difficult. Very poor signage on enclosures, in order to make the map and audio tour, which can be purchased on entry for an additional £5 essential. Overall, children were underwhelmed and we felt disappointed.

    All the animals are not stuck it a cage all day. And all the animals look happy. I cant think of any bad points. I like it when all the animals come right next to your car

    Really enjoyed the day out. The weather was great. Reasonably priced, nice layout for exploring on foot. You can also drive around the park if you want to have the pleasure of baboons sitting on your car. The Meerkats were brilliant and seemed relaxed. The sea lion show was really good and very funny The animals seem happy in the environment and the place was clean and tidy, with no litter. The drive around the park was great and really long. Not too many people about so it was a nice rela ...

    Definitely go through the baboon enclosure. You may get your car wrecked but the experience and risk are worth it. We had at least 3 baboons on our car, one of which pulled faces at us and licked the windscreen, which was gross but amusing. Then we had two of them mating on our bonnet, I kid you not, which was, err, an unusual experience. So the only real warning I'd give is to be prepared for questions from your children about natural animal activities!
    We did see baboons pulling bits off o ...

    Myself, my girlfriend and son of three went on Safari today. We all had a fab time! We arrived early 09:50, which I suggest is the best time, as the safari was fairly quiet of other cars (and it's Easter bank holiday too). The view of the animals is great, and my son loved it.

    I agree with the other comments about the Baboon drive at Knowsley Safari Park - this is a must, although I was a little apprehensive myself, as I didn't want my car damaged. You can go the safe route, but we went th ...

    Knowsley Safari Park costs £10 per adult, £7 for children 3+ (under 3's free) , and a guide book and CD costs £5.

    I had a very enjoyable day out with my husband and 3 year old son. One of the downsides was the fairground rides. You pay £1.50 per ride or buy an armband for £9.00. Any parent will be aware of the hypnotic lure of these dreadful things, so steal yourself for an expensive day or one of sulking, because you won't let them go on them (as we didn't). The ...

    Knowsley Safari Park is a great place to take your children or elderly relatives! It has everything for everyone. It's a great day out with value for money all the way. I give it the thumbs up and suggest you go.

    We visited Knowsley Safari Park on a rainy Saturday in May and had a really enjoyable time. The entrance fee was £12 for adults, £7.00 for children and under 3's were free. You can buy a season ticket for £22 for adults and £16 for children, which gives you unlimited admittance for 12 months. If you buy this on the same day you visit, you get the entrance fee refunded. This seems like excellent value if you plan to visit more than twice.

    The safari drive, according ...

    I visited Knowsley Safari Park In 2003, unfortunaly the weather was bobbins, but I didn't let that spoil the day! When you arrive, I think you pay £6? Per person. You get a tape to listen to while traveling around the different enclosures and a map. You get to see reindeer, lions, emus - loads and loads of animals. If you don't fancy taking the car through the baboon enclosure, you can take a route around it, but stll watch from the outside. There is also daily shows with sea lions an ...
