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.
Wow! What a clean and great haven for so many types of wildlife. Busy B Ranch has built nice, spacious homes for their 4-legged and winged residents. We were impressed by the quality of care, the diversity of wildlife, and the acreage for the animals to roam. We will definitely be back to visit again. Thanks for such humane and great care for these animals.
