Acrobatics, carnival skills, pier games and magic await!
There’ll be thrills around every corner at Knowsley Safari this May Half Term (Saturday 24th May – Sunday 1st June) as our fun-filled Knowsley Safari Seaside Carnival returns, giving the whole family an action-packed day out, with new activities and entertainment all included in your ticket!
Part of our popular Foot Safari will be transformed into ‘Knowsley Safari on Sea’ – channelling all the classic seaside vibes, with pier-themed games and side shows, such as Coconut Shy and Hoopla.
Adventurous family members will revel in excitement as they enter our ‘Big Tipi’ to try their hand at traditional carnival skills, including plate spinning and juggling, before being wowed by daredevil professionals performing thrilling acrobatics overhead.
Capture all the fun of the fair throughout the day with peep through photo opportunities, and keep an eye out for the cheeky roaming magician, who’ll be springing out and surprising guests with mystical magic tricks and fantastical illusions.
After being enthralled by the big acts, check out the big cats! Amur tigers, Makari and Yuki are on the Foot Safari and the pride of African lions are on the Safari Drive. With over 500 animals to see, including one of the UK’s largest rhino crashes, as well as Bactrian camels, Iberian Wolves, meerkats, ostrich and the cheeky baboons, Knowsley Safari will be an action-packed day of adventure this half term.
And if all that Safari air makes you hungry, Oasis Restaurant, The Outpost Kitchen, and other refreshment stops, will be serving freshly made food and drinks, including pizza, burgers and ice-cream, to ensure everyone can recharge and make the most of their day.
Helena Berry, Head of Marketing and Sales, says, “We’re so excited about Seaside Carnival this year, it’s going to be bigger and more exciting than ever before. There are so many activities and lots of entertainment for all ages to enjoy, and it’s all included in the regular ticket price, so we’re hoping as many people as possible come and enjoy our carnival celebrations!”
