Museums
If museums are your thing then you’re are spoilt for choice for things to do in Liverpool. Liverpool has one of the most impressive collections of museums in Europe.
A personal highlight for me would be the aptly named Museum of Liverpool. Built on the waterfront in one of the most eye-catching buildings in the city, this is the biggest museum build in over 100 years in the UK. It was opened to the public in 2011 and contains over 6000 objects telling the city’s urban and social history. But if museums are not up your street then then were are plenty of other things to do in Liverpool.
Knowsley Safari
When looking up thing to do in Liverpool this must be the wildest day out available. Unfortunately this has just closed for the winter, and re-opens next Easter until the end of August, but it’s a must for your next visit to Liverpool. Travel round the 550 acre park from the comfort of your own car and meet some of the 700 inhabitants. For some people, the lion enclosure may be the highlight, and for others it’s the baboons, or perhaps it’s the cute meerkats that’ll be your favourite. Whichever animal you favour, it’s a great day out for all the family.

A Beatles tour must be on everyone’s list of things to do in Liverpool, and this one must be the best of the bunch. The Magical Mystery Tour is coming to take you on a day you’ll never forgot. This two hour tour takes customers round all the places associated with The Beatles. You’ll see where the Fab Four grew up, met and formed the band that took the world by storm. You will get to see the places that inspired some of their greatest songs – Penny Lane and Strawberry Field.
