Suggestions:
Formby Red Squirrel Walk (National Trust). 1 mile from Freshfield station. I went to this beach every Sunday as a child.

'Another Place' by Antony Gormley, Mariners Road, Crosby Beach, L23 6SX. I haven't visited.
The heritage tramway in Birkenhead is probably worth a look, although I've never been myself.

(I do see you mentioned it last time but though it might be worth bring up.)
I was taken to see 'Another Place' a few weeks ago. I wasn't bothered about going, but when I got there I was so glad I went. It was low tide, early evening. There were a few people out on the sand near the figures; you couldn't quite be sure which were sculptures and which living people - until they moved. Eerily magical. I imagine it would look quite different at high tide and other times of day. Very well worth seeing - I'll make a point of going again next time I get the chance.

Apparently there's also a good chippy nearby.
Just looking at what you wrote last time, you appear to have missed the Walker Art Gallery, and the view from Radio City Tower. Did you get enough out of the museums you visited?

How about booking a tour of Menlove Avenue and Forthlin Road?
Wot? No Berlin this year?
Did you get chance to see the U-Boat museum when you went last time? I thought it was quite interesting. I know you mentioned it.
Dig deeper, you say? Then it's got to be a trip to the Williamson Tunnels in my opinion:

Did this on a trip a few years back, combining it with a good few heritage pubs, of which there are some amazing ones even if you only stick to the city centre:

Another vote for Crosby beach, which I think is worth a visit at any state of the tide. It's different and fascinating whenever you go.
We went in midwinter - the wind was bitter around the Mersey. We escaped a hailstorm by going into the Museum of Liverpool and were pleased we had. There is an extensive section on the long gone Liverpool Overhead Railway.

There are also some splendid listed pubs like the Philarmonic.
If you go to Another Place (take the train to Waterloo) look out for the house of the captain of the Titanic in Marine Terrace just north of the Royal Hotel.
In Sefton Park you can find a copy of the Eros statue but this time with running water. The greenhouse is supposed to be good too but check whether it's going to be open, it was closed when I went.
Walker Gallery, as someone else has said, is well worth a visit. Maybe try to get inside the Catholic cathedral this time?
Re: Garden Festival, the site closed and nature had it's way for quite a while, but it has now been opened back up, although I haven't been. Quite a bit of the larger, more robust planting survives I believe. http://liverpoolfestivalgardens.com 5 minutes from St. Michaels station.

Second the Heritage Tramway and associated Transport Museum.

If on the Wirral on Sunday 12:00 to 16:00 and the weather is good, then pay New Ferry Butterfly Park a visit - through the car park from Bebbington Station. http://www.cheshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/new-ferry-butterfly-park

On the Wirral also try Fort Perch Rock and Birkenhead Priory.
I see you did my favourite the lovely Port Sunlight last time. If you visit the Walker Gallery, then also pop in to the library next door and view the striking circular reading room, still in use, British Museum take note! And before entering the reading room, look up at the soaring glass-metal beehive roof of the main library building - shades of the Reichstag in your favourite Berlin
Thanks everyone!

The indoor suggestions might be favoured, given that the weather forecast suggests I've chosen precisely the wrong time to visit.
