“You only live once...”

Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

I've been extremely fortunate to have traveled a lot & seen many places, people & such.. Among the adventures and experiences I've enjoyed and can recommend unconditionally... nothing (beginning with a book called The Song of the Ape, by Andrew Halloran), has meant so much & brought such unbridled joy to my life, as having taken a VIP tour with...

“Great safari experience, fun for kids”

Reviewed May 24, 2012 NEW

This is of course is not an actual safari but it is probably as close as one can get with living in the US. It is a drive through attraction. There is an entrance fee and sometimes you will find good coupons on their website to print out before you go. They provide you with a CD to play in... More

“Great for young and old”

Last time I was there was in 1989 and I loved to bring my kids to the play I was with my parents when I was a child. We've spent many hours in the park and took great pictures. Bring your old cell phones for a voucher to feed the giraffe. More

“Great time and a lot of fun.”

Reviewed May 13, 2012

Great time and a lot of fun. You drive through a part for about 1.5 hours. Enjoy the drive, except if you need to stop for a bathroom break. Also, cannot open the window. The walk through part was fun and a lot if interactive parts. You are able to feed many of the animals. More

“Fun experience”

Reviewed May 4, 2012

person found this review helpful

Lion Country Safari consists of two parts: the self-drive safari where you see lots of large animals (rhinos, lions, giraffe, chimpanzees, impalas, kudu, eland, waterbuck, etc.) and a walk through animal exhibit/play area. The self-drive safari comes first. After paying your admission (check their website beforehand for coupons and discounts), they give you a CD that narrates your drive, telling... More

“Wonderful Experience w/Excellent Value”

Reviewed May 4, 2012

person found this review helpful

My wife and I visited this attraction April 16th and we can say that this attraction exceeded our expectations. Lion Country has many exotic animals and quite a few would literally walk in front of your vehicle. They supply a CD that you play as you drive from section to section within their park. Afterwards, visitors can stop and feed... More

“Pleasant surprise!”

Reviewed May 1, 2012

We were visiting Palm Beach Shores and looking for a fun excursion for the kids. SO glad we were able to find this one, about a 45 minute drive. There is a drive thru safari, in which they give you a CD to listen about all the animals on the property. It was quite educational for the kids. My kids... More

We are happy to hear about your first visit to Lion Country Safari. The giraffe feeding exhibit is probably the most popular interactive exhibit we have - feeding a giraffe at eye level is pretty WILD. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. More

“Not at all what is expected”

Reviewed April 24, 2012

If you don't have kids, don't go. You'll pay for a 1h-1h30 tour in your car to see safari animals, which is ok, but at neither point can you feed them. After that, there's nothing else to do or see which is interesting for adult. Still a few animals to see, but nothing to give you a thrill. I went... More

However the paddle boats, pontoon boat tour, mini golf, giraffe feeding exhibit, bird feeding exhibits, animal exhibits,camel rides and water wars are popular amongst guests of all ages.
