With Mother’s Day looming you can treat mum for less this Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 March by taking advantage of freebies on offer like this one at a popular family park
It’s always nice to treat mum – especially on Mother’s Day – but the good news is you can put a smile on her face without having to break the bank.
Every year there are numerous special offers up for grabs at family attractions across the UK and this year Knowsley Safari has planned the mother of all Mother’s Days! Mums can get in free – any time over the weekend of Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 March 2025 – saving you up to £25 on a ticket.
And although it’s a great way to celebrate a special mum in your life – it can actually be used to ensure one adult per car gets in free with a full paying child. So it doesn’t matter if you’re mum, dad, granddad, grandma or family friend!

Once there, it’s a great day out for kids as they’ll have the opportunity to get crafty and create Mother’s Day cards out of plantable seed paper, which they can take home to grow their own flowers.
Nicola Watson, Learning and Conservation Manager, said their latest special offer is all about helping families save money while also helping to save the environment.
“We’re conservation champions at the Safari and love to help with biodiversity wherever we can, and we encourage our guests to do the same,” she says.
“Over 30 million cards are sent in the UK for Mother’s Day each year and the plantable cards are not only a fun activity, but also our way of paying what we can back to the planet.”
While at the Safari, visitors can see and learn about many animal species who organically help with biodiversity, including resident Andean Bears, Bahia and Chui.
These disperse seeds in their droppings, which can grow into the same species of plant they’ve already eaten! And birds of prey who eat insects, which can prevent the spread of disease and loss of agricultural crops, among many other species.
The Learning and Discovery team will also host an interactive touch table during Mother’s Day weekend, which will enable families to learn more about the Andean Bears.
Nicola adds: “Spring is a perfect time to visit the Safari, as the landscape comes back to life and the animals are enjoying the longer days. You can come and treat mum, with the added reassurance you’re doing your bit to protect the planet.”
And if you fancy putting your saving to good use, Knowlsey Safari Park also has a restaurant where you can treat mum to a meal or a glass of bubbly or visitors are more than welcome to bring along a picnic.
There’s plenty to keep the whole family occupied including a five mile safari drive, foot safari, events and talks on a wide variety of animals.
