I absolutely loved going here and can't wait to go back! Feed the drive thru animals from the car was so much fun!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids of all ages, particularly those who thrive on hands-on animal interaction rather than passive observation. The drive-through format works well for toddlers and families with mobility considerations. Animal availability can vary by weather and time of day β€” mornings tend to yield the most active animals on the trail.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Arrive in the morning when animals are most active and more likely to approach vehicles on the drive-through trail.
⏰Admission is cash or card at the gate only β€” no online pre-purchase is available.
🎟️Consider the fossil excavation add-on for older kids who want an activity beyond the safari trail.
