Visitor tip
Bring hand-feeding food for the drive-thru section and prepare for the greediest animals like bison and alpacas to approach your vehicle. Visitors report memorable direct interactions when animals eat from your hand, so lower your windows and have food ready during the driving portion.
Visitor tip
