Varied ways to see the animals from either your own car or safari bus. Also an are to explore on foot. Some fair ground rides, tokens needed. A sealion show included in entry cost. Very knowledgeable staff/keepers and all animals look well looked after and cared for. Definitely well worth a visit. · via Google [Debbie Dolan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117589033414075828039/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely day here. Lots of animals to see as you drive through and then we did the walking safari and nature trail. We watched the sealing lion show which was fun and very informative. There is a costa and a cafe and gift shop.. Quick service.. we had coffee and donuts. There is a family fairground which we didnt use but was great to see the children enjoy. There are plenty of seating areas and picnic areas if you want to take your own . Overall lovely time out we spent a good few hours there. · via Google [Michelle Nicholson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110520949273300207102/reviews) ★★★★★ Another great visit. We come here very regularly. Love the safari bit, only thing we didn’t see was the wolves which was disappointing but can’t be helped. We didn’t go through the monkeys in the car as we did last year and they DO pull your car to pieces (especially if it’s a Landrover) so wasn’t chancing it this year!! The girl who did the bird of prey display blew me away. She really knew her stuff and it was amazing with the birds literally just flying over your head. My 4 year old who wants to be a zookeeper thought it was just great. Wish that we could have caught her to tell her how good she was, my little boy was desperate to talk to her. In fact my little boy enjoyed it so much he was pretending to be her on a fake mike all the way home. Giving us a commentary on different animals . The sealion display was great too. Had the best day and the weather was fine. Disabled spaces next to entrance. Food ok. Usual prices and quick service. · via Google [Justin Yiu](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102819427762255296979/reviews) ★★★★★ Lots of amazing animals available to see at Knowsley safari. Managed to see tigers, giraffes, goats, sea lions, falcons - just to name a few. Birds of prey and the sea lion show were very entertaining, staff members did really well for those. Foot trail takes about 2 hours to complete, maybe 3 at a more leisurely pace. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487b1eb7b6a2e6c1:0x4d15c83cf84abee0!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this safari park offers an amazing drive-through experience with animals like rhinos, lions, and baboons seen up close in large, open habitats.
