đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids ages 4 and up who can sit for a 45-to-60-minute vehicle tour. Children under 2 ride free on a lap and cannot occupy a seat. All party members must be present at ticket purchase to sign assumption-of-risk agreements - plan accordingly. The open-air vehicle crosses uneven terrain and may stop suddenly.

âAmazing experience! Our tour guide made is so fun and enjoyable. She was very personable and full of energy and knowledge! We wanted to see more animals for the price but the guide made it worth it for us. Her name started with a K, she was awesome!â
