Family friendly zoo with big cats. Animal park home to tigers, bears & giraffes, with bouncing castles & regular events for kids.

💬 What Parents Say

  • 🕐Arrive early on weekends (around 10am on Saturdays) to avoid crowds and enjoy shorter wait times. The park gets significantly busier around lunchtime.
  • 💡Purchase the combined ticket for both the zoo walking exhibits and drive-through safari—visitors consistently report this combo provides exceptional value and makes for a full day experience.
  • 💡Bring cash for purchases once inside the park, as some vendors are cash-only. However, credit cards are accepted for admission and souvenirs at the main entrance.
  • 💡The park is ideal for young children (ages 4+) with the bounce house barn and various walking exhibits. Both the close-up zoo section and open-range drive-through safari accommodate families with multiple children of different ages.
  • 💡Take advantage of the knowledgeable and friendly staff throughout the park—they provide informative commentary about the animals, enhancing the educational value beyond just viewing the wildlife.
