Knowsley Safari letting kids go free October half term and Halloween
Somewhere to take the kiddies this spooky season
As October half term approaches and people get ready for their Halloween festivities, Knowsley Safari is letting kids go free throughout the spooky season.
If you’re wondering what to do this October half term and are looking for ways to keep the kids entertained then look no further, because Knowsley has you covered with its Haunting Half Term activities, where kids go free with a full-paying adult.
The scary event will take place between October 21st and November 5th, seeing the Merseyside grounds transformed into that of a haunted mansion complete with a surrounding graveyard.
Knowsley’s famous Tiger Trail will be turned into a Haunted Safari where families can sync their speakers to listen to fascinating facts along the way.
The whole park will be given a Halloween makeover and promises to ‘unleash memories to last a lifetime’ with plenty of spooky goings on for the whole family to enjoy, as well as having the chance to see all the amazing wildlife at their home in Knowsley.
Visitors can follow an illuminated and multi-sensory Halloween Trail while meeting scary characters along the way. Actors will tell stories and run themed games for children to take part in.
There will also be a real hedge maze for visitors to ‘encounter even more spooky delights around every twist and turn as they race to the heart of the maze before they plan their escape’.
Along the Safari Drive, guests can discover incredible wild animals including African lions, white rhino, and Bactrian camels. And be amazed along the Foot Safari with impressive giraffes, meerkats and bush dogs.
Stephanie Costello, events manager at Knowsley Safari, said: “Halloween is always an exciting time for Knowsley Safari and this year we’re super-sizing our guest experience with the addition of our giant authentic maze.”
She continued: “We’ve designed the whole Tiger Trail takeover to ensure maximum spooky fun and adventure and we can’t wait to see guests’ reactions to this immersive, monstrous experience.”
Hungry visitors can also stop off for a bite to eat and some refreshments at the food court.
The Haunted Halloween Safari event will run from October 12th to November 5th and is included with a paid admission ticket. Children go free when accompanied by a full-paying adult.
