Win family tickets to safari park

Aug 13 2008 by Martin Williams, Rhyl Visitor

MORE than 35 years after opening its gates for the first time, Knowsley Safari Park remains one of the North West’s most popular attractions.

In 2007 the park achieved a significant rise in visitor figures for the fourth year in a row, welcoming 523,000 people – the best annual total since 1972.

The 550-acre park on the Earl of Derby’s estate offers visitors a unique experience on its five-mile safari drive, the chance to get “up close and personal” with exotic animals from all over the globe.

These include rhinos, camels, buffalo, bison, wildebeest, lions, tigers, zebras, baboons, monkeys, deer, antelope and wallabies.

Current top attractions at the park include the three white rhino calves born over the last 18 months or so – Binta, Kifaru and Tatu – plus no less than 10 lion cubs born in recent months.

The Visitor has teamed-up with the Merseyside park to give away five family tickets. Just answer this question.
