It’s that time of year again when we get to celebrate the special dads in our life – and we have the perfect Father’s Day present for those who want nothing this weekend Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June
Treating Dad on Father’s Day doesn’t have to cost a fortune – in fact it’s often the thoughtful gifts that cost nothing – or don’t cost much at all that are priceless.
So mums of small children – or any kids for that matter aged between 3 and 15 – will be glad to know that they can take Dad out this Father’s Day and actually save money in the process!
Knowsley Safari Park near Liverpool is hosting a ‘Dads go Free’ day out this weekend (Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June) as long as you book online before the weekend.

And if he’d prefer the day to himself, mum can bring the kids and she can go free instead! The Father’s Day deal actually covers one adult in each car going free with a full-paying child all weekend saving you at least £22.50 on your entrance fee. It’s also great for those single parent families where mum often takes on the role of both mum and dad!
It promises to be a great day out because the Safari is buzzing with new life following the births of lovable goat kids on the Nature Trail, as well as rare Père David’s and Axis deer on the five-mile Savannah-style Safari Drive.
There are more than 500 animals wandering around the park including African lions, Bactrian camels, wildebeest and one of the UK’s largest rhino crashes.
Dad can stretch his legs on the Foot Safari, visiting the Russian-inspired Tiger Trail, home to Amur tigers Makari and Yuki. And there are giraffes, meerkats and Andean bears – the species that inspired Paddington.
When Dad’s ready to put his feet up, you could treat him to some freshly prepared lunch in the Oasis Restaurant or The Outpost Kitchen or even save a bob or two by bringing along your own picnic.
Helena Berry, head of marketing and sales at Knowsley Safari says: “Dads going free is a win-win for the whole family – a fabulous gift for adventurous dads and the kids are going to love it just as much as him!”.
Knowsley Safari Park often runs promotions where one adult goes free throughout the year so it’s worth planning a visit to coincide with one of these special offers as it will save you money.
Typically, the park runs a Mother’s Day promotion in March and sometimes has ‘Kids go free’ offers during school holidays so the whole family can have fun for less.
