💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Buy multiple bags of animal food ($1 each) before entering the petting area. Visitors recommend one bag per person so you can feed all the animals that approach you rather than running out quickly.
• 🕐Visit Sunday morning around 10 AM for the least crowded experience. The petting zoo is not busy at this time, allowing kids more space and interaction with animals.
• 💡The entire experience (petting zoo + safari ride) costs only $15 total with animal feed at $1 per bag. Pay at the Chevron gas station store where you'll also find clean restrooms and parking right next to the petting zoo.
• 💡Safari rides are available Monday-Friday 1-4pm (by appointment) and Saturday-Sunday 10am-4pm (no appointment needed). The petting zoo is open daily sunrise to sunset with no appointment required, making it perfect for quick stops off I-16.
• 💡Bring a picnic or grab food from the Chevron store to enjoy at the picnic tables while watching animals. This creates a relaxing break experience, especially valuable for families traveling on I-16.
