This drive-through wildlife park draws consistently glowing feedback from families, and it's easy to see why. Visitors regularly comment on how healthy and well-cared-for the animals appear, and the drive-through portion alone tends to take around 90 minutes with animals actively approaching cars for feed. Highlights include sloth encounters, zebras (though watch your hands around those ones), and a walking petting zoo area up front that reviewers describe as clean and well-maintained. The experience works especially well for young kids and grandchildren, with multiple reviewers noting it exceeded their expectations. Animal encounters are available and described as personalized and reasonably priced. A gift shop and restrooms are on-site, and the staff are noted as friendly and knowledgeable. Grabbing at least two bags of feed before the drive-through is a tip that comes up more than once, so plan accordingly.
Loved this so much! All the animals are so well cared for. Would go again!
