After, they can create a collage of the animal prints they have made. They could always use a pencil or pen to sketch the animal prints! The Life of Darwin- Who was Charles Darwin?

  • About Knowsley Safari
    ABOUTABOUT THE KNOWSLEY KNOWSLEY SAFARI ESTATE Knowsley Safari is situated within the grounds of the Knowsley Estate. Animals and discovery have always been at the heart of the Estate – even before the safari park was ever created. Edward Smith Stanley, the 13th Earl of Derby, founding member of the Zoological Society of London and president for 20 years, built up a huge collection of birds, mammals and fish from around the world, many of which had never been seen in Britain before. At the time, Lord Derby’s private zoo became the largest and most important of its type in Britain and when he died, his menagerie was as big as 28 bird species and 94 animal species – and an impressive 756 animals bred at Knowsley. In October 1970, nearly 120 years later, the 18th Earl of Derby got permission to build a 346-acre wildlife and game reserve on part of the Estate. The first in the North of England and the first in a big city. Knowsley Safari Park opened in 1971 and quickly became one of the North West’s leading attractions, with new exhibits and the extension of the safari drive to 5 miles in 1973. In 1994, the 19th Earl of Derby took over and increased the visitor numbers and stepped-up participation in worldwide endangered species breeding programmes. Over the past few years, discussions have been underway to change the safari park as we know it now within the ‘Master Plan’. This includes ideas around new animal habitats, a visitor hub, better facilities for guests in the winter months, with attractions and adventure which enable us to be open more days throughout the year.

Contact Information Accessibility Statement – Knowsley Safari 2 Welcome Knowsley Safari Park was opened to the public in July 1971 by the 18th Earl of Derby. Back then, the `safari park' concept of having visitors enclosed (within cars) and the animals roaming free (based on the drive-through game reserves of East Africa) was unique. Since then, Knowsley Safari has become one of Merseyside’s premier leisure attractions, winning several awards for tourism as well as its animal husbandry. When designing any new exhibits or attractions within the safari, we adhere to DDA guidelines, and work in accordance with current building regulations. We work hard to provide the highest level of access to the whole site, however in some instances this is not always possible due to the historic nature of our building and gardens. In this package, we intend to highlight and discuss each of these occurrences in order to clarify all accessibility features to visitors .

Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The information you requested and our response is detailed below: “I've been trying to compile a complete list of the zoological collections of the British Isles. I was wondering whether you would be able to provide me with a list of all premises which currently hold a zoo licence, and all former zoo licence holders too.” See Appendix 1 for a list that APHA hold on currently licensed zoos in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), as at 18 January 2016 (date of request). See Appendix 2 for a list that APHA hold on closed zoos in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), as at 18 January 2016 (date of request). This data is not complete as zoos typically get deleted from APHA’s database once it becomes inactive. Please note that Local Authorities’ Trading Standards departments are responsible for administering zoo licensing under the Zoo Licensing Act 1981, and APHA are only responsible for maintaining a list of zoo inspectors and nominating them for inspections. Therefore both Appendices have been produced from APHA’s list of inspectors nominated to inspect a zoo. The list in Appendix 1 does not include collections that may be considered a zoo but are exempt from the Act and therefore do not require a licence.
