💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Purchase the animal feed buckets for the best experience - multiple visitors emphasize that feeding the animals directly is what makes the safari special and memorable, though be prepared for your vehicle to get messy afterward
  • 💡Call ahead before visiting if there has been recent rain or snow, as 4WD/4x4 vehicles may be required for the safari drive
  • 💡Keep car windows closed, especially near the ostrich exhibit - the ostrich will peck at open windows. Reviewers recommend feeding it to avoid aggressive behavior
  • 💡Plan for 1-2 hours total (the safari drive takes about an hour), and bring cleaning supplies or be prepared to clean your vehicle afterward due to animal feed and interactions
  • 💡Ask about veteran discounts when booking - the park offers special pricing for military visitors
