The experience was exciting. The staff the volunteers were excellent. I've never been on a Safari before, but it was great. I will be coming back, but your volunteer staff were so knowledgeable and helpful with every question that I had about the park and I think you guys, my friend from out of town wanted to Experience it and it was a great experience. Thank you.

It was fun! Following the map and watching some YouTube videos ahead of time helped us get through the zoo smoothly! It was peaceful and good family fun. I definitely recommend to take your children there and enjoy! There's also water parks in the zoo I recommend taking towels if you have kiddos extra clothes also. Over all great!!

Being at the Safari Zoo was so wonderful and different. It was a warm day and most of the animals were hidden in the shade ... can't blame them. We saw so many different animals we've never encountered and lived reading all their statistics and history. A "MUST" , if you can, take ride up in the Balloon! So fun!! 🤩

    Great deal on hideout! Zoo and Safari are both fully staffed with helpful information from the staff. My son and I were very impressed on how well maintained the grounds are especially surrounded by beautiful views and foliage. The animals looked healthy and content in their surroundings.
