Father's Day ideal gift as dads get free day of adventure this weekend
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.
One adult goes free per car with a full-paying child.
Offer applies to visits on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June 2025 only.
Bookings must be made in advance online and can't be used in conjunction with any other offer.
One adult per car goes *free with a full-paying child ticket (children aged 3–15 years).

Europe's most underrated islands have been named in a new ranking
It's tricky planning an island getaway when everyone is getting away to the same place. Not only does that result in higher travel costs, longer queues and wait times, but it threatens the dream of tranquil isolation. Yes, we know that no man is an island, but hey, it's nice to pretend once in a while. To help us live the dream, car hire company Avis studied the search volume and Instagram hashtags of island destinations to uncover the busiest ones and find their alternatives. So where is the best island to to really get away? That would be Lesbos, Greece's third largest island perched near Türkiye in the Aegean sea. Summer temperatures average at 25-30C. The waters? Clear, clean and blue. Lesbos also offers all the things its more popular sister islands like Mykonos, Santorini or Paros would like charming fishing towns, epic seafood, ancient architecture and an active nightlife, but without all the crowds. Molyvos, Lesbos's capital, ticks all those boxes. Stay at the Sea Horse Hotel right on the harbour before embarking on a journey to Molkyvos castle, which sits pretty on a hilltop surrounded by evergreen pines and the most idyllic view of the town and sea. The second most underrated and secluded island is Porto Santo in Portugal. Less than a two-hour flight from Lisbon, Porto Santo is the smallest inhabited island of the Madeira Archipelago and known for its golden-hued, sandy beaches and phenomenal diving experiences thanks to its clear waters. But it has just as much excitement on land: think cave tours, extensive hikes and even a van tour of the island's coastline. The Greek island of Symi takes third place. Its oceanside homes, painted as gold as the sand itself, are actually preserved buildings from an early settlement that helped declare Symi as a 'historic place in need of special protection'. From July to September, the island gathers for its annual festival that celebrates Greek culture and music, and events are held across the area's sites like the Monastery of Panormitis that overlooks the bay with its giant, Baroque-style tower. Need more island inspiration for your next holiday? Take a look at the full list below. These are the top 10 underrated European islands, according to Avis Lesbos, Greece Porto Santo, Portugal Symi, Greece Skopelos, Greece Cres, Croatia Andros, Greece Karpathos, Greece Brac, Croatia La Maddalena, Italy Thasos, Greece

Charming Cornish town often ignored for more popular neighbour named among 'best in UK'
This Cornwall town is often overlooked for its famous neighbour, but with an impressive seawater lido and tranquil beaches it is finally attracting the interest and intrigue it deserves Cornwall is a top destination for Brits seeking a first-rate seaside holiday close to home. But with over 400 miles of coastline, it's difficult to choose where in the region to centre your holiday. That said, a new ranking has named this one Cornwall destination among the best seaside towns in the UK. Often overshadowed by its famous neighbour, this lesser-known gem is equally charming and promises 'the most dramatic seaside setting in all of Cornwall'. Penzance was the only Cornwall destination on The Times' 2025 list of The Best Seaside Towns in the UK. Coming in at sixth place, this Cornish seaside town has long been overshadowed by St Ives which is less than a half-hour drive away. It comes after beachgoers were left stunned after a rare sea creature was spotted in St Ives.. While St Ives is considered the 'jewel in Cornwall's crown' and is often found on rankings of the best family holiday destinations and European beach spots, Penzance offers a more serene alternative. Located on the south coast, Penzance has been getting the recognition it deserves as of late with an advancing artistic and cultural scene. The town is home to boutique hotels, a blossoming restaurant and bar scene, new galleries and innovative installations all drawing visitors to the town's historic streets. 2024 marked the 75th anniversary of Penlee House becoming a Gallery and Museum. The estate was originally constructed in 1865 for a wealthy Penzance merchant before becoming one of the most important galleries in the UK today. While the town is full of cultural wonders, there is no denying that its natural beauty is the primary draw. The area overlooks Mount's Bay and the island abbey of St Michael's Mount, creating a distinctly dramatic vista. In addition to its top Times ranking, Penzance earned a place among the UK's seven best beach towns for 2025 in a ranking by National Geographic Traveller UK. The sheltered waters of Mount's Bay are ideal for kayaking and paddle boarding and Sennen Beach is a beloved surf spot. Swimming enthusiasts will also be drawn to the town's Grade II listed Jubilee Pool, which is the UK's largest seawater lido. First opened in 1935, the iconic Art Deco-style pool sits on the edge of the sea and offers visitors the chance to swim in its naturally heated geothermal waters. The attraction claims its 'combined system' enables the pool temperature to be sustained with a low carbon footprint. The pool is divided into three sections: the main pool, the geothermal pool, and a beginner's pool. There are also changing facilities, a café and a community space on hand. Penzance is well worth a visit in its own right, but if you're interested in stopping by St Ives it's a convenient trip away. Either take the 25-minute drive or hop on one of the many trains per day that travel from Penzance straight to St Ives. The Great Western Railway ride includes one stop at St Erth but only costs £6.20 one-way.
