JOIN US FOR A ROARSOME LION EXPERIENCE

Meet the Pride of Knowsley!

Our Lion Experience offers you the chance to go behind the scenes at the Lion enclosure to learn what it takes to look after these magnificent predators.

What will you get up to? For around one hour, 2 or more participants will be with the animal team preparing and supporting them with their morning duties as they get ready for the lions to be released into their enclosure. 

We now have different voucher options, whether you want to treat yourself or experience it with two or the family.

The Lion Experience is available for adults and children aged 8 years and over. However, children under 18  must be accompanied by an adult who also has an Experience voucher. 

Please note the accompanying adult may be required to go behind the scenes during the experience with the participant and it is therefore not suitable for the accompanying adult to be supervising another non-participating child. 

We can allow a maximum of 2 people per experience from the same family.
