Pine Mountain Wild Animal Safari: 75+ Species Drive & Walk

This drive-through safari delivers genuine up-close animal encounters that have families laughing and kids absolutely delighted. You'll have animals literally poking their heads through your windows during the drive, with visitors especially loving the deer, elk, bison, and their adorable babies. Beyond the main attraction, there's a walk-through zoo area, reptile building, and special animal encounters like capybara and sloth experiences that guests consistently rave about. Staff members get praise for being friendly and helpful, and the relaxed pace lets you take as much time as you want. Definitely purchase the animal food and ration it carefully since there are plenty of hungry mouths along the route. Most visitors suggest using your own vehicle or the free complimentary bus rather than renting one of their vans, which reviewers note aren't in the best condition. The majority of animals you'll encounter are deer and other herbivores, so set expectations accordingly. A heads up that customer service can be hard to reach by phone or email, and tickets need to be purchased at least a day in advance if buying online.
