Knowsley Safari is letting children in at half price this October half term, with a special Manchester Evening News code, as it hosts a new Halloween event for the school holidays.
The offer runs throughout half term and coincides with a new Halloween event featuring creepy characters, trick-or-treat challenges, secret codes, Halloween crafts and prizes.
Halloween trail and spooky tipi
Families on the Halloween trail at the Foot Safari will meet mischievous characters including the Poo Keeper and Safari Chef, solving spooky clues, collecting stamps and uncovering wildlife facts.
The event runs from October 24 to November 1 and ends at the spooky tipi, where successful code-crackers can claim sweet treats. There are also Halloween crafts for young adventurers to create spooky masterpieces to take home.
Half price offer details
Helena Berry, head of marketing and sales at Knowsley Safari, said: “This year’s Halloween activities combine Halloween fun with opportunities to learn more about animals, wildlife and conservation through hands-on play, puzzles and interactive experiences.”
She added: “We're looking forward to seeing families taking part in our animal-themed Halloween adventures that are packed with more treats than tricks. It's a wonderfully wild way for the whole family to spend October half term together, and with children going half price for advance online bookings there's never been a better time to visit.”
Halloween activities are included in the regular admission price, from £22 for adults and from £19.60 for children. Using the code SPOOKYSAVINGS50 to book half term tickets online by October 23 gets a child in for half price with every full paying adult. Full terms and conditions apply.
Other attractions and competition
Visitors can also enjoy the five-mile Safari Drive, home to Southern white rhino, zebra, Bactrian camels, Somali Wild Ass, ostrich and baboons, as well as the Foot Safari with Amur tigers, Nubian giraffes and meerkats.
A fancy-dress competition is running via social channels for a chance to win a family ticket to the Safari’s Enchanted Christmas event or a future Safari day ticket.
