thanx pippy!lol!
can't believe how much it costs now!sure it used to be about 10quid per car and we used to squash in as many as we could!!!those were the days!! :

Ha ha I cant believe they now have a Monkey Bypass, I have nt been there for years simply because whatever car your in the monkeys wreck something, so glad now they have an optional route i will definately think of going back there

Went there about four months ago, went through the monkey area and had one of them sat on my bonnet peering at me through the windscreen all the way through the enclosure - made for some great photos!!

Also there is a small fair there with rides for the kiddies - my six year old had a great time!

Enjoy!

You can trade in your Tesco Clubcard Vouchers to get into Knowsley. We did that, got the 3 of us in free, and decided to upgrade to an annual pass at the end, so they deducted our entry fee from the price which we thought was a great deal. We've been twice since May and our 4 year-old daughter loves it, but to be honest her most favourite bit is the rides afterwards. It's £8 for a wristband for the kiddie rides (you get £1 off if you have a membership card :D). I thought that was a little pricey, but not after Alton Towers and the Central Pier at Blackpool.

Touch wood, we have never had anything happen to our car in the monkey enclosure. It seems to happen to the those who are luring the baboons on to the car with food - which they are not supposed to do! You would not believe how many people blatantly ignore this. We saw people feeding tortilla chips to camels.

We usually combine a visit to Knowsley with a drive up to Southport beach afterwards, where we spend an hour or two and then top it off with a visit to Pizza Hut there (no Tesco clubcard vouchers for that!).

We are going again in a couple of weeks and looking forward to it!
