I know why this is the number 1 attraction on TA! When we visited Natural Bridge, VA a couple of weeks ago, we came here first and then went on to other attractions in the area, well after the Safari nothing even paled in comparison! I am still cleaning feed and wiping slobber off of our mini van, and laughing... more

We had a good time at the Safari Park. I was skeptical when my wife wanted to visit the Safari Park during our September trip up the Shenandoah Valley, I figured it would be a quick in and out. I was wrong, we had a good time. If you go, get plenty of food, feeding the animals is interesting and... more

Oh man, our family will certainly never forget all the beasts sticking their huge heads into our minivan to get the feed! My 7-yr-old son screamed like a little girl! My wife almost ran over seemingly suicidal little pigs on numerous occasions! And I'll never look at zebras the same way after one of them stuck his head in and,... more

We visited the park with our 5 year old and really enjoyed it. The animals stuck their heads in the windows and drooled on the car so the experience was complete! ;-) more

My family and I discovered Virginia Safari Park in July and we've now been there three times. Everyone, from my nine-year-old son, to my outdoorsman husband, to my seventy-one year-old mother, to my two aunties from New York City, thought it was fabulous. Definitely go, buy feed, and drive through on your own. However, the wagon ride is even more... more

My wife is blind and has a service dog that must be with her at all times. They refused to allow us in the park, first telling us that they "don't need to allow us in because it's privately owned" (which is a lie), and then later telling us that "the animals will destroy my car and kill my dog".... more

Fun place

We loved feeding the animals on the safari. There's also a little zoo that you can walk around afterwards. Now that I have gone here, other zoos just seem boring. I love feeding and petting the animals instead of just looking at them from far away. more

We had a good time, it was great getting to see an feed amimals like zebras and giraffe. One of the large camels stolled our grain bucket, ate the grain an then ate the bucket. The other animals were pretty basic, but still fun to interact with. more

I went here with my family and we all loved it!! It was so fun. To drive through the park takes about 1 hour + in this time you get to feed buffalo, deer, zebras, camels., llamas and ostriches to name a few. They do offer a tram to take you in the park but it is nice to take... more
