What a great place to visit and see animals out in the "wild". We enjoyed the drive around the park and being able to view all the animals. We were able to take plenty of pictures since we were lucky enough to go on a day when it was clear and cool. A fun experience for the kids - especially... More

My comments echo most of the others. During our visit (noon) most of the animals were not active. We did get some nice pictures however. The petting zoo and the short walk to see the wolves and bear was nice. The place is right off of I-80 and very easy to find.

This is a wonderful drive thru wildlife park! It makes for a nice afternoon with family. The little ones love looking out the window and seeing all the animals. There is a spot along the way to get out and walk around to see bears and other animals. It's a great time!

We LOVE this place! It is wonderful to see the animals outside where they have large areas to wonder. The elk are fabulous, and if you go in the Fall, you can see them really move around. The kids love the bear and especially the wolves....it is SO much fun to have to really look for them and see them... More

Something about it just reminded me of Jurassic Park. Sometimes the animals were elusive (wolves), but what a variety!! Good places to drive, a place in the middle to stop, get out and go see some special attractions. Super friendly everywhere you go. Park for kids at the beginning and a restaurant just in case they need to go wild... More

Great location right off of I-80 and a lot of animals to look at. Large herds of elk and buffalo that occasionally roam right by the roadway. Petting zoo located halfway through the park is a nice break and picnic area. Would recommend the zoo and this as a weekend excursion.

My fiancé and I decided to visit, based on the reviews that we read, we thought it would be fun to give it a try, and I need to say we were very impressed. It's a little ways from Omaha, but it's really worth going, you get to see the animals in their natural habitat, and it's an amazing opportunity... More

The safari park is a great way to spend some time in the Omaha area. We have gone many times, and have found late afternoons seem to have a lot more animal activity. The zoo continues to improve the visitor experience at this park. At the park and walk section near the wolves and bears, you will see the most... More

If you are there at the right time, there are a lot of great picture opportunities! I love the addition of the cages with Owls, etc. The summer "petting zoo" was a great attraction for kids, too.
