The Safari drive-thru portion offers visitors the opportunity to see and feed animals up-close from their vehicles. Guest can also interact with animals in the Village Walkthru or up close during a memorable encounter with sloths, rhinos, or penguins.

For the love of animals
Don't feed the llamas when you first enter, they're quite forceful at taking the food from you and you'll end up without any for the many animals ahead of you. This place is very well kept and quite impressive. The walk through village was great, totally recommend purchasing the bundle so you can feed several of the various types of animals there. Got pretty up close and personal with a few. Highly recommend, we'll be going again.

Safari Park
This was fairly entertaining, I think my son's (11) favorite part was probably feeding the Budgies, this is where we spent most of out time, and made a second trip in. We purchased the bundle feeding, and were disappointed not to see/feed the giraffes. We were not warned that they would be sent inside before closing (which is 4:30 in November). It would have been nice to get a heads up since it was about 3 when we purchased our bundle, and around 4 when we made it to the giraffes. We did the drive through, but did not purchase food for that, you can definitely tell they are fed by people and regularly. I think it a fun one time thing, not sure we would repeat the trip.
