💬 What Visitors Say

🕐Book safari rides in advance during weekends (Saturday-Sunday 10am-4pm) as they're popular and weather-dependent. Weekday afternoons (Monday-Friday 1pm-4pm) may have shorter wait times if you have scheduling flexibility.
💬The combo deal ($15 per person for safari ride + petting zoo) is excellent value compared to paying separately ($5 petting zoo + feed costs). Don't miss the safari ride to feed camels and the watusi in the back—it's a highlight many repeat visitors mention.
💡Arrive prepared to hand-feed animals directly from your palm. Bring multiple bags of feed ($1 each) if visiting with young children, as kids enjoy the interactive feeding experience with goats, alpacas, cows, and chickens.
💬The petting zoo requires no appointment and is open daily from daylight until dark, making it perfect for spontaneous stops. Payment is processed inside the adjacent Chevron station. Picnic tables are available, making it ideal for travel breaks.
💡Ask staff or guides about the different animal species you'll encounter (watusi, alpacas, camels) during the safari ride—guides share facts about animals and their habitats, enhancing the educational value for all ages.
