Knowsley Safari Park is one of Merseyside's standout family attractions, set in the heart of Knowsley on the edge of Liverpool. It's a proper day out, offering a mix of drive-through safari, walkabout animal zones and all the little extras that keep kids and grown-ups entertained. Lions, rhinos, baboons and camels roam just metres from your car, while the park's sprawling layout gives it a spacious, open-air feel that's perfect for a leisurely wander. It's part wildlife encounter, part traditional day trip, and always leaves a lasting impression.

The park first opened its gates back in 1971, developed on the estate of the Earls of Derby. It was the brainchild of Edward Stanley, the 18th Earl, who wanted to bring the spirit of Africa to the north west. It quickly became a local landmark, attracting visitors from across the region. Over the years, it's grown and adapted, adding more exhibits, modernising facilities and focusing heavily on conservation. It's still run in connection with the Stanley family, who have been tied to Knowsley Hall and the wider area for centuries. The park forms part of the historic Knowsley Estate, blending old English heritage with hands-on wildlife encounters.

Just outside the park, there's a mix of green space, local amenities and cultural landmarks. Knowsley Hall itself is nearby—a stately home with vast parkland, lakes and formal gardens. While it's not always open to the public, it forms the backdrop for weddings and special events. Prescot town centre isn't far, full of indie shops, cosy cafés and the recently restored Shakespeare North Playhouse, which brings a touch of Elizabethan drama to Merseyside. The wider Knowsley area also includes Stadt Moers Park, good for a quiet walk or cycle, and there's a scattering of golf courses and nature spots if you want a breather from the crowds.

Stretch the net wider and there's loads going on around Merseyside. Liverpool's only a short drive away and packed with museums, galleries, and attractions—from the Beatles Story to the Mersey Ferries. You've got football grounds like Anfield and Goodison Park, plus the Maritime Museum, Royal Albert Dock, and Liverpool ONE if shopping's on the cards. Sefton's coastline brings in sandy walks and coastal pinewoods, Southport's got that classic British seaside feel, and Wirral's villages and nature reserves offer a quieter pace. Whether it's a big day out or a more relaxed escape, you're never short of options.

Getting to Knowsley Safari Park is pretty straightforward. It's right off the A58 and close to the M57, making it easy to reach from Liverpool, St Helens or beyond. If you're coming by train, Prescot Station is your best bet—it's just over a mile away and connects to Liverpool Lime Street and other local lines. Buses run regularly through the area too, particularly from Huyton and Kirkby. Liverpool John Lennon Airport is the nearest for those flying in, and it's only about 25 minutes away by car. Parking's on site and free, which takes the pressure off if you're bringing the kids or packing for a full day out.

Merseyside's a place with its own pulse—made up of five boroughs: Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral. It's shaped by shipping, football, music and community, with a strong sense of identity that's proud, gritty and warm all at once. The mix of big city bustle, industrial history and green coastal spaces makes it one of the more diverse counties in the country. Whether you're after culture, coastline, or proper northern hospitality, there's plenty packed into the patchwork of towns and villages across the region.
