This was an amazing place and a lot of fun. Pretty large drive-thru safari with lots of animals. All the animals EXCEPT the lions have free roaming privileges and are not enclosed in any manner (other than within their designated wildlife area), so you can se them crossing the road in front of you if they so happen to do so. The lions have their own plains to roam in, but are enclosed (otherwise, there wouldn't be much of a safari left). After the safari, there is a nice animal exhibit area. Like a small zoo that has some birds and whatnot. Quite a lot of fun as well. Highly recommend going to this activity, even though it is quite a bit out of the way, at least from Miami.

Great experience in a beautiful park. We had a friendly reception. The place is clan, organized, beautiful. The animals are close enough to be seen, but they also have their privacy. They looked well treated. A nice experience!

I took my Mom to Florida as she hadn’t been there in years and hadn’t ever seen a whole lot aside from usual city tourist attractions. I had been to Lion Country before and knew she’d love it. Definitely use the audio tour (free from website) that you play through your phone through your car stereo. It plays along giving info about what you are seeing and as long as go no more than 5 miles per hour, it keeps on track and talks about what you are seeing as you go. The animals are so healthy and seem so happy. The areas in which they live are beautiful and natural. No awful cages here! You have to keep your windows closed. And drive very slowly as ostriches and rhinos may walk across the road right in front of you. Was so much fun to watch a mommy and baby lion play and play - jumping on each other and play swatting. To see rhino bodies and giant bush bucks so close was really neat. They do lots of conservation and clearly have great breeding programs as there are so many young animals. I couldn’t believe that there were like 20 rhinos and several babies. I’ve never seen so many giraffes all in one place. It takes about 1 - 1.25 hour to drive through the whole thing. You can pull over and stop to watch as you wish. There is another part of the park with kiddie rides and walk through areas which we did not go through but looks sweet. Go! You’ll love getting a little taste of an African or Indian safari. Be respectful and go slow and don’t get purposefully too close as to disturb the animals. We were glad we didn’t see any cars doing anything inappropriate that would harass the animals.

Beautiful drive-through experience. It was raining but we didn’t mind since we were in our car. Animals were lively and right by the road as we drove by. So cool! Went to the giraffe feeding and Beth was amazing! Fed the giraffes and the kids loved it!

A rare opportunity to be up close and intimate with exotic animals of the world…. It all begins with a drive through safari experience among free roaming giraffes, emus, rhinoceros, lions and much much more. My first visit to Lion Country Safari was back in 1974. I experienced the same thrill I had as a child now as an adult. Lion Country Safari offers many ways to encounter wild life in natural settings including opportunities to hand feed the giraffes to petting zoo experiences … This is truly special. You will have a wonderful day and great for the entire family !

My visit to Lion Country Safari was a tremendously enjoyable day. The park is immaculate and well tended throughout. All of the animals looked to be content, alert, and meticulously well cared for. The “Safari” which is the drive-through the park was a complete winner. With the trip taking a little over an hour, we saw flocks of birds and so many animals up close along with caretakers who were looking after them in the wild. At the end of the Safari, we decided to have lunch in the restaurant and wow it was a great experience. The facility was a family-friendly restaurant that was spacious, new, immaculate, and attractive and the food was absolutely terrific. I had a cola and a smash burger that was the best burger I’ve eaten in a long time. My companions had salads that they loved. You really don’t expect crisp and delicious salads in a park like this, but Lion Country Safari pulled those off beautifully thanks to a friendly and helpful staff. For dessert, we each chose the pineapple Dole Whip that was a refreshing and delightful treat. We each made some purchases at two different gift shops that are well above the average attraction gift shop - nice jewelry for instance. Friends of mine have told me what a great experience it is at this park, but I had no idea how good it would be until I visited. Next time, I will take advantage of more things that the park has to offer and might even consider staying in a cabin overnight. As an old commercial says, “Try it. You’ll like it!”

We were not expecting such a incredible park in Florida. The park is well organized and needs a whole day to enjoy many of its exhibits. This is a wonderful adventure for the whole family. We saved the drive through for the end of the day. Was absolutely fantastic.

Really great stop. Thought we were stopping for an hour drive through safari - but there’s a ton more. The drive through part is pretty cool…we liked going at our own pace. Then, the rest of the place, the small rides, exhibits, and water park kept us there way longer than we thought and the kids loved it. Everything looks very well maintained and didn’t look like your traditional tourist trap. At first, we thought the price may not be worth it but we were wrong. Spent the whole day.

Great experience every time I come here! The animals are amazing! Over the years, I have visited 4-5 times. Take your time on the route. You will experience unique pleasures! Morning is best time to go since the animals are more active. Definitely worth the time!

This park was a phenomenal experience! We arrived a little after 1pm and planned on only doing the drive-thru portion as we were not accustomed to the South Florida heat. Found out the "drive-thru" only passes only sold starting at 3:30pm. The cost for both (drive/walk) parks was very reasonable. So glad we purchased both! By the time we made one pass through (traffic was light, ample time to stop and snap photos) it was a little before 4. Parked close to the entrance (again, late in day, parking lot nearly empty). We walked thru almost the entire park at a very leisure pace. It was wonderful. We even fed the giraffes and explored the water park. Even though we didn't experience 100% of the park, we felt we definitely got our monies worth. P.S. - someone from my hometown of New Hartford NY donated Cinnamon the Lion to the park (then called Safari Land) in fall of 1969.
