A “UNIQUE” dinosaur experience is coming to Knowsley Safari Park this summer.

Visitors will create Jurassic memories this summer as they encounter huge life-like dinosaurs during a six-week takeover.

The animated puppets roar, blink and move just like real dinosaurs, making face-to-face encounters a truly wild experience. Guests will meet Bruce, a six-meter-long T-Rex, and get up close to huge herbivore Betsy, a giant walking five-metre Triceratops.

Stephanie Costello, Events Manager, Knowsley Safari said: “We’re excited to be bringing dinosaurs to the safari this summer.

“The activities and adventures will appeal to all ages and we can’t wait to see our guests' reactions to this truly immersive and life-like experience.”

Visitors will also encounter Loki, a friendly full-size Velociraptor, and experience what it’s like to walk with dinosaurs, while younger guests will enjoy stroking baby dinosaurs in the ‘petting zoo’.  Live dinosaur shows will see visitors immersed in ranger adventures as they witness a climactic stand-off when the T-Rex’s dinosaur egg is stolen.

Guests will also be able to experience the safari’s regular attractions, including the UK’s longest safari drive, where white rhinos, African lions, and Bactrian camels roam, plus baboons, Iberian wolves, and European bison, as well as giraffes, meerkats, and the tiger trail on the foot safari. 

The takeover takes place from Saturday, July 22 until Sunday, September 3, and is included in the regular admission price. For further information and to book tickets visit here.
