This family-friendly safari experience gets visitors up close with exotic animals through both a drive-through adventure and walk-around area. Most families rave about the interactive feeding opportunities, especially the Ultimate Package that includes encounters with animals like Ronnie the white rhino and gentle kangaroos. The staff consistently earns praise for being knowledgeable and friendly, and many reviewers appreciate how clean and well-maintained the facility is overall. It's particularly popular with kids who enjoy learning about animals while feeding them. There are some concerns worth noting about the walk-through section. A few visitors felt the monkey enclosures appeared small and mentioned cleanliness issues in those specific areas. The property doesn't allow service animals due to their private business designation, which disappointed several guests who felt this wasn't clearly communicated beforehand. Some visitors found the experience better suited for families with children rather than adult-only groups. Despite mixed feedback, the drive-through portion consistently gets top marks, with many recommending you purchase multiple cups of food so you don't run out at the feeding stations.
I fell in love with otters about 35 yrs ago and playing with them has been on my bucket list for a long time. When I saw how affordable the experience at this safari park was, I couldn’t get there fast enough! It comes out to $75 a person to interact with the otters for 20-30 minutes. I loved every minute and cried a little when it was over. Would 10/10 do it again! This park was so well cared for. The cages are new, beautiful and clean. The animals all looked clean, healthy and were very active. They were also close enough that you could see them-there were no empty spaces where we searched for something, never to be found. The drive through park is beautiful as well. We spent about 2 hours here, including the otter encounter.
