A wonderful part of our road trip!
Sep 2022 • Family
My favorite part of the experience was the ENTIRE thing! The driving part was well laid out, which allowed us to feed the animals at our pace.
The walking part of the zoo was easy to manage and each enclosure was inviting to observe the animals.
I felt like the entry fee was reasonable as well as the pricing for the feed cups.
I also appreciate the variety of the animals, very diverse.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to get up close and feed the animals! So glad we found this place and it became part of our road trip.

Fantastic family fun !!!
Jul 2021 • Family
You’ll have a wonderful time with the whole family. The park is entertaining and who doesn’t love adorable baby animals and feeding wildlife from your car window?!

Come early and save some of the feed for the later part of the tour. Don’t be tempted to use all your feed the first 15-20 minutes into the easily 90-100 minute tour. Hang tight to the feed buckets or the animals will find a way to snatch them away.

Bring cash as credit/debit cards are not accepted.

Well worth the the visit.

Great afternoon
Jul 2021 • Family
Really a great place to go. More fun than the zoo in Memphis. There were a lot of cars lined up to get in on a Thursday afternoon. But they finally opened up another lane which made it quicker. Suggest you drive past the inevitable traffic jam that will be at the start of the safari. Everyone wants to feed those animals. Get past this. The park is big. And there will be more hungry animals to feed if you keep driving past the traffic jam at the start. When you see the sign that warns you of biting zebras you’ll know you’re at the end as that’s the last section of the park. And right before that section is the bison area (there is a sign saying bison may damage your car - they were fine for us). Most folks ran out of food by then so try to save some because there is no refill station anywhere for some reason. At the end is a walk through zoo with giraffe feeding and parakeet feeding. There are a lot of Parakeets hiding to the left of the exit door so that’s a good place to find them. They weren’t very hungry. The goat feed is the same as the feed during the safari so if you have some left over you can use it for the goats. Drive in theatre at night

Great place to visit
Nov 2022
Great place to visit. Watch out for the camels and lamas as they will take your bucket of food in a second. We got 12 buckets the cost was 4 buckets for 10 which is the best deal. You can purchase buckets at $3 a bucket if you want to purchase less then 4. We had enough to go around all drive thru areas with enough to feed the goats in the walk thru area. The only other animals you can feed are the giraffes. You can purchase five small pieces of carrot to feed them. The cost for this is $5.00.

I would definitely recommend you visit this place as it is very entertaining. Don't forget to drive only 5 miles an hour. The animals will move for you even though they do like to stand in front of your vehicle.

Buy lots of food for the animals when you enter!
Aug 2021 • Friends
Road trip! This attraction is very interesting and I highly recommend it for young and old alike. Be sure to take cash as they only accept cash for admission. Also, to truly enjoy the experience, buy multiple food tubs because many of the animals are experts at wrenching it out of your hands. The cost is only $10 for four tubs and is a bargain. It will take at least an hour to drive through the park. They should set up a second place to buy food about half way through for those of us who didn’t realize that the animals love to knock the tubs out of your hands!

AWESOME Safari Park!
Nov 2022 • Family
Great safari park! Animals are all well cared for and they have some of the COOLEST animals I’ve ever seen! Animals come right up to the car so makes for beautiful photographs. They have a HUGE collection of amazing different species of hoof stock. Hope to be back again one day, glad we made the effort to stop by.

Big let down
Jun 2020 • Family
We drove 3 hours not knowing the park does not take debit cards. For 2 adults and 1 child the entrance price was 44$, but we only had 40$. The gate attendee said “Oh, that sucks but it’s still 44$. There is a bank down the road.”
I recommend the Memphis or Nashville Zoo. They take plastic, they have more activities, they have better customer service, they aren’t like Joe Exotic.

Great Fun Feeding the Hungry Critters
Mar 2020
Our second time to this animal park was a great experience for us and our two grandchildren. The animals roam free, you drive through at your own pace, to view and feed the animals from the car windows.
We learned from the first trip not to go on a rainy day! We also learned to come prepared.....I brought a bucket to dump the food pellets into so the children would have a limited amount of feed in their containers. The animals can be aggressive and quickly take the food containers away. Our 7yr old granddaughter lost her minimally filled container to a hungry ostrich in the first 5 minutes. Fortunately, I also learned to take along extra Cool Whip containers so all was not lost!
Be quick to close the car windows when the animals get to forceful. The children had a great time. In addition to the ostrich we fed zebras, deer, and emus. Bison, giraffes, kangaroos also roam the park as you follow the trail.
When our food pellets ran out we had a picnic lunch at one of the many tables, then visited the caged monkeys and the goats in the petting area. Colorful peacocks wonder the park free, often putting on a showy display of their feathers.
You can purchase the food pellets at the admission gate. Two buckets was plenty for the 2 children, 2 adults in our car. Clean restrooms, but don’t forget the handiwipes!

Check it out, so worth it!
Apr 2021 • Family
We went to check this out on Good Friday around 10:45am. It was not very busy but had cars in front of us and behind us. We had 4 of us in total and we purchased 8 buckets to feed animals and it was the perfect amount. I read mixed reviews but our 8 and 10 year old loved it. We laughed to the point of crying at times. We were not in a hurry and it was just a fun experience. The buffalo freaked us out but if you keep your windows up they just walk close to your car. The camels were crazy they just grab your bucket and you can’t hold on to it so we just looked at them and passes the by. Get experience and we would totally do it again!

5 hour wait to get in. Bring your patience.
May 2020 • Family
It’s a great idea for a family activity during social distancing. Such a great idea, every family from 3 states go every weekend. You get stuck in a line of cars with no way to turn around for 5 hours just to get inside the park. Other than that, it seems cool.
