💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Don't miss the interactive animal encounters and safari drive-through experience. The safari offers close-up encounters with exotic animals like bison, kangaroos, and cheetahs. Bring food for the feeding stations and watch out for smart animals like bison that try to cheat and steal food from buckets.
• 🕐Visit during warmer seasons (spring/summer) to see more animals active and on display, including the popular cheetahs and kangaroos. Cold weather may limit which animals are out and visible.
• 💡Plan for a full experience by allocating time for both the walking exhibits and the safari drive-through in your own car. The venue offers flexible alternatives—if the safari is closed, staff will offer substitute animal encounters like capybara or sloth interactions.
• 💡Visit with kids and families—the venue is highly family-friendly with birthday party pavilions available. Kids will love interactive feeding experiences with goats, capybaras, and other animals, plus special animal personalities like 'Purty the cow' who performs and makes entertaining faces during feeding.
• 💡Engage with the knowledgeable staff and guides throughout your visit. They are passionate about the animals and provide educational context during the safari and encounters, significantly enhancing the overall learning experience beyond typical zoo visits.
