Tiger Takeover at Knowsley Safari

15 Feb 2025 - 23 Feb 2025

Knowsley Safari Park

Quit lion around this February half term and head to Knowsley Safari for a pawsitively wild day out on the Russian-inspired Tiger Trail, home to Amur tiger Makari, and enjoy FREE kids’ tickets with every paying adult!

Between 15^th and 23^rd February, the whole family can enjoy a tigerrific time, with tiger talks, touch tables and storytelling – children can even write a postcard to an Amur tiger in the wild! Visitors will learn more about this endangered species and how we can help protect the large cats in their native habitat. Following their visit, guests can also complete a quiz to win an exciting family tiger experience.

There are around 450 Amur tigers left in the wild of largely Eastern Russia. Despite a slight increase in their population, the tigers are still under threat of poaching, declining prey populations and habitat loss caused by logging. Makari is part of a vital European Breeding Programme, which runs alongside the Safari’s conservation partnership with Wildcats Conservation Alliance.

During February Half Term, as well as enjoying a fun family day out and taking part in a wide range of tiger-themed activities, visitors will be able to view an Amur tiger in real life through the Tiger Trail’s huge viewing windows.

Knowsley Safari is also helping the tigers with its fundraising campaign, Roar for Amur, which aims to raise awareness of the plight of the Amur tiger and highlight how we can protect them. Visitors can support the campaign on site by using the QR codes at the donation stations and everyone can support by donating online.
