💬 What Visitors Say
- Visit on a weekday morning to have the property nearly empty, allowing you to take your time driving through the safari and get close-up photos of animals without crowds blocking your view
- Purchase animal feed at the gift shop (3 cups for $6) before entering the drive-through safari—animals like llamas, donkeys, and zebras actively approach cars for food and are much more interactive when you have feed to offer
- Drive slowly at 5 mph or less as instructed to give animals time to move out of your way and maximize photo opportunities; the rough gravel roads add to the authentic safari experience, especially for children
- Bring a car (not just any vehicle) suitable for bumpy gravel roads and plan for the entire drive-through to take 1-2 hours depending on animal activity; stay in your vehicle at all times for safety
- Combine your visit with Turner Falls Natural Water Park located directly across the highway to maximize your day trip value in the Arbuckle Mountains area
