I had an amazing time especially my son loved it I love animals and so does he taking classes to be a zookeeper veterinarian?
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with animal-curious kids who want more than passive zoo viewing. The VIP Safari Tour delivers genuine behind-the-scenes access in small groups — book early as capacity is capped at 10. The sloth encounter is a strong choice for younger children who want a calm, close-up animal moment.
