Shelby Caldwell

This was such a FUN place to go with my kids! They absolutely loved our time here and did not want to leave. We rode a bus through the park and they allowed everyone to feed all the animals included with our field trip, they then got to go and pet and feed kangaroos , ostrich , deer , donkey, zebra, CAMELS! And more. The camels were hilarious the kids were screaming and laughing the whole Time! They have a nice lunch picnic area, another petting zoo and playground equipment. For a bunch of wild animals everywhere this place was extremely clean and tidy. We also loved talking to the birds in the gift shop. The only other advice or information would be that if you come I highly suggest you use their tour bus to drive through the park rather than your personal vehicle. I wouldn’t want the animals scratching or getting slobber inside my actual vehicle but the tour was perfect and they tell you a lot of cool animal facts too. Highly suggest a visit here

The other drive yourself through Safari Park I have been to did not allow any feeding of animals and more variety of animals. That said, this was pretty darn cool seeing the animals look you right in the eye all up close and personal. It was like they were staring into my soul. Relatively inexpensive. I would recommend if you are doing other things in the area, not necessarily making a special trip just for this.

We had a fantastic time. Just the two of us on the bus (you defo don't want to drive your vehicle through). I was busy feeding all the herbavores as my hubby took pictures. I managed to get a few of this Zonkey. The Beefalo are spectacular. Bison and Watusi cattle crosses. Such fun!!!

Berta Ncube

We found this drive-thru safari traveling from Jackson, Mississippi to Shreveport, Louisiana and what an enjoyable stop it was! From the exotic birds, converted safari school bus, variety of animals (camels and ostriches were our favorite) and experiencing feeding them, to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, we had a blast.

Lena Nelson

We found this spot out of pure luck on cross country trip! My 5 children had a great time age range 2-18. The staff was wonderful, the animals were well taken care of and friendly! Would highly recommend if passing through to stop takes about an hour and worth the break!

It's a nice place to escape and be with the nature. Animals are friendly, happy, and well-fed. The staff and the owner are very informative and welcoming. Would love to re-visit next time. More

We took our 5 kids here for something to do. The staff was awesome and very accommodating. We took the guided tour in a bus so that everyone had a window to be next too. Our kids were so excited... More

Great place to bring your kiddos! Not a large selection of animals however, it was educational and my 3 kids loved the up close and personal interaction they had with all the animals, especially the camels! It is a drive through experience so if you don't want zebra drool and donkey poo on your wheels you can opt for the guided tour ( for a extra couple of bucks )

We loved going to the Safari. It was so much fun. We can't wait to go back. I am happy to see the animals get to free roam.

I can honestly say I never had so much fun! We got there and the lady suggested we take the guided tour instead of just driving through the park (aimlessly) on our own. It is the BEST way to get the full experience of the animals. I laughed so hard from the second we took off. We had the BEST GUIDE in the world. He knew so much about the animals, gave all sorts of information and took the time to make sure everyone on the bus got to pet/feed all their favorite animals. I love the ZDONKS, half Zebra and half Donkey. They were the cutest things, running alongside the bus to get petted. I was a travel agent for 20 years, been on African Safaris. No where can you pet animals like that and all in one space. I took so many photos and I look back on them all the time. I will be back again, and again. Thank you so much.

This little Zebra stole the entire cup of treats! We laughed SO HARD!

We enjoyed all the animals and the employees were so nice! We will definitely be going back soon!

We had a great time! Well, most of us did. One of our group climbed into the back of the truck (on top of his bike) and wailed because he was afraid the bison was going to lick him. My wife and I were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. My younger child tried to feed the bison then said "thank you" while pulling the cup back in. Enter the head of a bison into his lap! We eventually figured out the animals will back off if you start raising the window. Even a bison as big as our Honda Pilot was fairly gentle when we cut it off. There was a little drama when another animal started butting heads with a bison to get to the food. I think we got a new scratch but nothing major. Things calmed down when we got away from the huge animal herd. My terrified son stopped screaming and eventually came back to his seat. He even fed a zebra. How cool is that to be so close to a zebra you can pet it?! We also saw camels, a zorse, some donkeys and some antelope. The animals in the deer family (elk, maybe?) were least used to humans and did not allow us to feed them. Back at HQ, they gave us more feed for the nearby pens. We walked over and had a great time feeding deer and kangaroos. The deer liked to lick our hands--something about the salt, I think. Unlike the 45-lb bison tongue, their licks were like a little dog. It was sweet. We also got to feed some ostriches and see a llama. All-in-all a great time. Pro tip: keep your windows all the way up and lower them just enough to get the cup out. Otherwise you'll have a huge head in your lap!

We drove 20 minutes out of the way to visit this safari. We drove down a long beat up road to find a sign that said closed. It was 2:30 on a Tuesday.

We had a great time at the zoo. The staff was very helpful and so kind. Definitely worth the drive.

Really fun wildlife park and petting zoo! Fun for the whole family. Feeding the animals from the car was exciting and made us all really laugh. Staff is very friendly, passionate and knowledgable.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! What a fun, interactive place! My husband and I went today and laughed harder than we have in years....I mean HUGE belly laughs! Where else can you have a bison lick you through your open window while a zebra eats from your kibble cup? Or have a camel munching out of your cup next to an impatient zebra? Debbie and Bennie were great hosts! Just a bit of advice, once you roll your windows down, keep them down!!
