Knowsley Safari Park, Prescot

Enjoy a five-mile safari in your own vehicle or book an organised tour. Travel around the park as many times as you like and view the biggest herd of African elephants in Europe. Tigers, lions, antelope, wildebeest and monkeys all roam free in spacious natural surroundings and will often come right up to your car. The monkey-friendly route is recommended for drivers who are not keen on their window trims becoming a primate's new plaything. There is also a children's farm, reptile house and family rides. See website for complete visitation particulars.
