Nice setting on broad acreage. Drive starts at the bottom of the hill; but most of the route is on top of the plateau. Tons of animals! Views were outstanding, also. The emu and ostrich were certainly not shy, btw! Great time, and kids would really love it.

We were there for a little over a week in our RV. It was such a calm and relaxing place. The animals came up right to the fence by our RV. There was so much to do - the petting zoo, the safari, the clubhouse. I could go on. The staff were wonderful and so sweet! We will definitely be back.

This is a wonderful wildlife park with about 20 species of exotic animals as well as North American animals.
The park takes about an hour to drive through and you could see, American Bison,wild turkey, Blue Wildebeest, zebras, assorted types of African, European, and whitetail deer and other types. They have a viewing zoo with Alpacas, Angora goats, pygmy goats and two very affiable pigs!
This place offers three very nice cabins to stay overnight, a club house with full kitchen,bathrooms, pool table, seating area, and games,books, and DVDs to borrow for campers and cabin occupants. They have 33 RV sites that have full hookups for all sizes of RVs! The campground has a very nice shower house with bathrooms and laundry. They have a pen for people passing gl through with their horses and a large dog park. Don't forget to try your luck at their catch and release fishing pond.
They have too many amentities to list here. Great place for a day, a night or several nights!

As you drive very slowly through this park, you are able to see an incredible number of wild animals. I saw zebras, antelope, llamas, ewe, wildebeest, etc. Many of the animals I have only seen in movies! The animals are aware that you are there but seem to keep a safe distance away from the car. At the very end, the llama was more aggressive and I had to shut my window so he didn’t put his head in the car. (For safety sake, you are not allowed to exit your car. Good advice!

Stopped in on the way to Tarleton in Stephenville. Wish we had time to stay longer. Very clean and new. Will come back on future trips. Price was great and the staff was very nice and helpful. Could see the interesting animals from the cabin. There was a fire pit and all kinds of activities to keep you busy and enjoy the area. Great for all ages! Highly recommend.
