Knowsley Safari
Prescot, Merseyside
A five-mile safari you drive yourself: rhinos, lions and the infamous baboon enclosure, where the monkeys will confidently remove anything not welded to your car. Then a foot section with sea lion displays, birds of prey and an amusement area.
The honest read from reviews: the drive-through and the shows are excellent; some families arrive expecting a full zoo roster and leave disappointed. Set expectations, do the drive first while everyone is fresh, and plan the foot section around the sea lion times.
The car-friendly route through the baboons exists for a reason. Take it, or accept the consequences with good humour.
Know before you go
- Do the drive-through first while everyone is fresh, then the foot part around the sea lion times.
- The baboons will dismantle anything loose on your car - the warning signs are not a joke.

Soft play with a full role-play village attached, which is the bit that holds a four-year-old's attention long after the frame stops being interesting.
