Location
Best time
Book the earliest available time slot (9 AM) to experience the park with minimal crowds, allowing for a more relaxed and personal animal encounter experience.
Visitor tip
Purchase 1-2 cups of feed per person and ration it strategically—save most of your feed for the second and third loop through the drive-through route, as animals become less aggressive and you'll encounter different species (bison, buffalo, cows) toward the end of the circuit.
Visitor tip
Young children (ages 2-5) love the direct animal feeding experience, especially with giraffes and ostriches; the aggressive feeding behavior of eager animals is part of the fun but can be messy, so wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and have wet wipes ready.

Fun experience! I would recommend at least 1-2 cups of feed per person and bringing an older car lol. I would also recommend rationing your feed at the beginning because there are cows, bulls and buffalo (or bison, not sure tbh) more…
So much fun!!! I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time! The animals are fearless and will stick their heads right in your car. Your car will definitely get dirty and some of the path is rough to drive on. It is worth every bit of it,…
