00:04you covered with a line-up of fun, creative and free activities across the

00:13history of Liverpool? The cities are famous for the Liver Bird, a mythical

00:17creature we're synonymous with. Arts Groupie are bringing the bird to life

00:21this summer. We're doing our Liver Bird Safari which is a fantastic family fun day.

00:26A two-hour trek around Liverpool spotting liver birds. Now I'm not talking the

00:32liver birds that are on the bins and the lampposts but actually in the fabric of

00:36the buildings. There's over a hundred liver birds and not just the famous that

00:40are on the UK's first skyscraper down at the pierhead, the liver building.

00:45Limiting screen time can be an issue however whether it's reading, rambling or

00:50getting right amongst it. Liverpool's packed with ways to enjoy a tech-free summer and

00:55make memories that don't come with a battery warning. You know the city is

00:59wonderful. When we go abroad we go around all these old churches and

01:03museums. We don't really value what we've got on our doorstep. The city is

01:08marvellous and the Liver Bird Safari allows you to be able to look at the

01:12buildings that we walk past every day with a completely different perspective.

01:16And we've got that walk and many other walks. All you know get your thousand

01:20steps in, your two thousand steps, how many steps you want to do. Get out and you

01:25know away from being in front of a screen and engaging with people in our great city.

01:29For curious minds Liverpool's museums are packed with screen-free discovery and

01:35dinosaurs are taking over the World Museum. Every Wednesday and Thursday during the

01:39school holidays they'll have a special focus on these prehistoric creatures.

01:50discussions, museum trails and even some very special prehistoric visitors. From

02:12juggling from a Tudor jester on Thursdays or listen to some stories and rhymes with

02:17the reader on Fridays. If your little ones aren't into organized fun you're more

02:21than welcome to create your own adventure with a puppet theatre, wicker

02:25castle and play boat as well as giant games. Eureka Science and Discovery have
