This drive-through safari delivers exactly what families want: tons of hungry, friendly animals and plenty of laughs along the way. Visitors rave about the long route packed with zebras, giraffes, camels, bison, and those famously bold alpacas and llamas who'll literally stand in front of your car until you feed them. The animals are clearly well-cared-for with plenty of space to roam, and your ticket lets you loop through as many times as you'd like throughout the day. Here's the insider tip everyone shares: pace yourself with the food buckets. Those first eager animals (especially the camels!) will try to steal the whole thing if you let them, and the drive takes about an hour. You can choose between driving your own vehicle or taking a wagon ride, which guarantees encounters with certain animals and includes fun commentary about their names and backgrounds. Beyond the drive-through, there's a petting zoo area with gorgeous birds and special encounters available, like meeting a sloth. Expect animals to get close, brushing against your car and poking heads through windows. It's genuinely entertaining for all ages, with visitors consistently calling it a must-do experience worth repeating.
Haven't laughed so hard in my life. It was a wonderful family experience. The animals were so fun to feed and pet. It was a much longer safari than I expected. Worth the money and definitely multiple feed buckets. Kids also loved the bird aviary. We will definitely be back again.
