The North West’s largest adventure ropes course has opened at Knowsley Safari Park. So as well as gong to ground to track down all those beasts of the jungle, you can now get on the trail for sky-high jinx at the Merseyside tourism hotspot. The safari park has joined forces with Yorkshire-based Aerial Extreme to develop the new attraction, which mixes outdoor adventure with the buzz of a theme park ride.
It was officially opened by Lord Derby, who couldn’t wait to have a go on the course’s 50ft parachute-style, high-speed drop, along with St Helens Rugby Club’s New Zealand internationals Jason Cayless and Willie Talau and coach Apollo Perelini. The Aerial Extreme structure features around 60 different obstacles including rope bridges, steel rope traverses, scramble nets, zip wires, vines, swinging logs and a climbing wall
The course is aimed at people of all ages and has three levels, the lowest being suitable for children aged from six years upwards.
All visitors are completely safe throughout their time on the course as they remain clipped to a safety system from start to finish.
