What does my entry ticket include?
As well as the main safari drive you can also explore the following:
Tiger Amur trail - The new £1.4 million attraction at Knowlsey brings guests up close to Amur tigers. With only 500 left in the world this incredible experience is a rare one. After taking one year to build it's now open to the public and is home to 10-year-old sisters Sinda and Bira. If your little ones are a little scared then reassure them that the glass panels can withstand a car crash - so you'll be safe.
Sea Lion display - This is perhaps the most popular attraction at the park as guests are treated to a show by Californian sea lions Biffo, Arthur, Roger and Louis. The trainers also share interesting facts about sea lions during the display and take part in a Q&A. You can also head to the viewing area to catch a closer look at the sea lions.
Keeper talks - Guests can listen to keeper talks about giraffes, meerkats, wolves, bushdogs and tigers throughout the day. Timings vary depending on school holidays and weekends but a timetable can be found on the website. Plus the Learning & Discovery team can be spotted out and about in the park and are happy to answer any questions you might have.
Flight of the Talons - This is the park's amazing bird of prey display. Guests can get up close to watch the feeding of the vultures and flying displays where birds will swoop inches above your head. This includes eagles, hawks, falcons and owls.
How long can I expect to spend at the attraction?
The safari drive can last around one to two hours, but you're free to spend as much time as you like in the other areas of the park including the amusement rides and keeper talks.
Typically guests spend around three to four hours at the park.
