I visited the Enchanted Christmas lights trail at Knowsley Safari and it was 'magical' - review

The lights were stunning

Knowsley Safari Light Trail

The lights were absolutely beautiful

Don't miss the biggest stories and breaking news with the Echo daily newsletter

We have more newsletters

The 'Enchanted Trail' at Knowsley Safari has become a Christmas tradition for many, and with last year's event selling out, I thought I'd give it a try.

Featuring a whopping 30 light-up animals throughout the Foot Safari, the trial consists of stunning illuminated deer, giraffes, zebra, penguins, flamingos and many more. With a seasonal backdrop of Christmas music and mulled wines aplenty, this Christmas light show is certainly different to anything I've ever been to.

The safari park had been given a big festive makeover, and featured fun kids rides, hot chocolate and doughnut stands and even a marshmallow toasting section. Visitors also get the chance to purchase an additional ticket to meet Father Christmas in his grotto - but I didn't get to do that this time round!

READ MORE: Huge Liverpool ONE store opening after 'continued success'

Its 'Christmas carnival' area is new to the park, and was included in the ticket price. From a coconut shy to a high striker challenge, there was lots to keep you busy, that's for sure.

The trail made me feel very festive

As soon as I stepped foot in the safari park, I felt instantly festive. I'd go as far to say I was actually surprised at how festive I felt, because I wouldn't usually associate a safari park with feeling Christmassy - but I was so wrong!

The lights were nothing short of gorgeous, with an insane amount of detail on the striking safari park animals. They almost glittered in contrast to the dark cold night sky, giving the show a really 'magical' effect.

I really liked the addition of the alcoholic hot chocolate and mulled wine stand for adults, which definitely warmed my cockles when walking around the trail. The Irish hot chocolate was particularly delicious, and tasted super creamy with every sip.

Enchanted tickets are priced at £11

Since I was visiting with my partner and no children, I'd wondered if we might feel a little bit left out, but I was soon reassured when I saw plenty of couples strolling through the trail, enjoying the festive lights.

The trail felt like a good length too, which I was really impressed by. Sometimes you pay the money for a light show or trail and find that it ends really quickly, but it wasn't the case at all with Knowsley Safari.

To finish off the trail we had to walk under a beautiful glittering arch of golden fairy lights that made the perfect Instagram backdrop. For me, light shows like this are what Christmas is really about.

I'd highly recommend the trail

I'd highly recommend a visit to the trail for an incredibly festive experience. At £11 a ticket, I think it's fantastic value and well worth the trip.

Enchanted tickets are priced at £11 and at special discounted price of £9 for members. Under 3s and carers are free. Tickets are also available to book online for entry from 4.30pm until 7.15pm.

There are two Santa Experience packages to choose from. Tickets are £10 and £18 per child and must also be pre-booked online at www.knowsleysafariexperience.co.uk .

Your journey will lead you through the Baboon Jungle , where you’ll meet a troop of, you guessed it, baboons! These marvellous monkeys are actually the largest of all monkey species.

They can be quite mischievous , too. However, visitors can choose to brave the Baboon Jungle, or see the baboons without worrying about the car, by either taking the car friendly route around the Baboon Jungle or booking to ride the Baboon Bus .

knowsley safari park christmas electric jungle

Enchanted takes place on the Foot Safari route .

Part of the Foot Safari is the Amur Tiger Trail, which lets you peer into the l argest tiger enclosure in Europe . Its residents are two Amur Tiger sisters Bira and Sinda , and a newly introduced male named Kuzma .

Amur tigers were on the brink of extinction in the 1940s , but conservation efforts pulled their numbers up from around 40 individuals to somewhere between 523 and 540 in 2015. Great news! But they are still at risk. Staff at Knowsley Safari hope that introducing Kuzma will encourage Bira to breed . Fingers crossed they’ll be hearing the pitter patter of tiny tiger cub paws soon. That’ll be roar -some!

The tiger project is just one of the many fantastic conservation project s that Knowsley Safari is supporting. Their work is to protect wildlife around the world for future generations.

Enchanted runs from 22nd November – 23rd December, 4:30pm – 8:00pm on selected dates. Tickets cost £7.50 per person (adult and child entry prices), with a visit to Santa’s Grotto priced at £7.50 per person.

Mäntsälä is a village of around 11.000 inhabitants north of the Finnish capital, Helsinki. It is the administrative center of the municipality with the same name and it is in the Uusimaa region. Its location along an intersection between several larger roads has been an important part of the village’s more recent development. The old road between Helsinki and Lahti even makes up the main road through the urban area, but the passing traffic is nowadays mostly using the nearby highway. In addition, the railway between Helsinki and Lahti also has a station on the outskirt of Mäntsälä.

A Short History of Mäntsälä

The history of Mäntsälä goes according to several sources back to 1585 when the construction of the first church in the area began. The village itself has a long history and the first known written records date back to the 15th century. The name has, however, seen many changes during the centuries. The spelling of the name changed during the 15th and 16th centuries and was for periods written as Mensela, Menselä, Mänsilä, Mensse, and Mentzeby.

Most of the development came after the Russian conquest of Finland in 1809. The Russian czar Alexander I came to Mäntsälä in 1809, visiting one of the local manors. The old church was later replaced and the current church was completed in 1866. Prior to that the village had developed and had already a public library, schools, and a town hall. The town hall was replaced in 1935 and the current town hall was built in 1992.

Finland gained independence from Russia in 1917 and Mäntsälä played a part in what happened in the following decades. It was here that the Mäntsälä Rebellion took place in nearby Ohkola in 1932 when the Lapua Movement made a failed attempt to overthrow the government. The Lapua Movement was a pro-german movement of Finnish nationalists and fascists that had been established in 1929. It was in 1932 that around 400 armed members of the Finnish White Guard intervened in a meeting that was held here by the Social Democrats. The White Guard played a part already in the Finnish Civil War in 1918 when the militia was fighting against the Soviet-supported Finnish Reds. The rebellion in Mäntsälä only attracted a small portion of the White Guards and only lasted a few days before the Lapua Movement was disbanded and its leaders arrested.

The Second World War did not leave Mäntsälä unaffected. Around 2000 refugees from Finnish Karelia were evacuated to the area and the locals eventually had to make land available for the many new arrivals. More recent history has seen the area develop into a transport hub with the logistics center of the store Tokmanni being built here. There has also been the development of data centers in the area.

Things to Do and See

There are a few historical buildings still standing in Mäntsälä, but there is also a lot of nature to explore in its surroundings. Most services and shops are along the main street Lahdentie and the smaller street Keskuskatu. Along the river, next to the center is also a larger sports complex for soccer and athletics.

Mäntsälänjoki & Kirsikkapuisto

Mäntsälänjoki, or the Mäntsälä River, runs through the village and makes up parts of the green areas. There are several walking paths along the river, connecting different parts of the village. There are also parks along the river, such as the Kirsikkapuisto, in English the Cherry Park. You will probably be able to spot some cherry trees here.

Mäntsälän Seurojentalo

The Mäntsälän Seurojentalo, or the Mäntsälä Clubhouse, is at the center of the village. It was built in 1926 and played a central role in the 1932 Mäntsälä Rebellion. Its large square is today used for different events and so is the building itself.

Mäntsälä Church

The current Mäntsälä Church was completed in 1866. It had been delayed for a long time due to funding issues created by the Crimean War. It was built with bricks and was last renovated in 1991.

Hau­kan­kier­ros

Hau­kan­kier­ros is a nature area in the northern parts of the municipality. It is a five-kilometer circular route that goes through the area’s varying terrain.
