So much fun, but don't expect to leave with a clean car. Kids loved it, ostrich are always out for food. The animals have learned to grab the buckets from your hands and take them. The camels are the best at it. There's a deal for 4 buckets for $10 I'd personally get 2 of those deals I only got one and the giraffes are last and I didn't have enough food. Lamas are so funny, they will stand in front of the vehicle until you roll down your window to feed them. The walk through zoo was super cute and you don't really need a stroller because it's kinda small and the kids are out playing and feeding the animals. Buffalo are super cool.

This place is great! We made a stop on our way home from Memphis and it really made for a fun afternoon. The place is so clean and well cared for, these animals are safe and clearly very happy in their new environment. At first my husband and I thought the cost was a little high, but by the time we finished up for the day we both agreed that we definitely got our money's worth and would pay to return again in the future. Even my teen/preteen boys were cracking up. So many laughs, and even though my car was totally covered in safari food afterwards it was a really good time . Highly recommend!

So so so much fun! Highly recommend this place. We had a blast feeding the animals. Plus the walk thru petting zoo was cool. Love this place.

The Safari Park is a fascinating place to discover and interact with some of the most desirable animals in the world. We came on a misty, rainy day and we could not have enjoyed the park more. There is a section that you can walk around in and see the animals and exotic birds. There is also a drive through part. We did both and enjoyed every minute! The only thing that I would add is signs on the fences stating exactly what the animals were that we were seeing. The paper given when you pay the $20 park fee per adult only gives you a list of the animals; some we could not figure out what they were.

Nice park. Limited kinds of animals but many, many animals to see during drive part. Careful though, these animals are very aggressive and have learned to block your path and try to upset your food cup to spill it on the floor. Our food cups lasted about 300 feet before camels yanked it out of my hand.

Had a really nice time here some animals can be aggressive but they are cute and HARMLESS just want the food . lol
![wild animal safari alamo tn](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/tDhbVOo90lFYtUJNUrZ30A/348s.jpg)
Great local fun, enjoyable for the entire family from 8 months to 80. You stay in your vehicle and drive through the 5.5 acres and see animals in their habitat. It is a zoo in your car. Buy plenty of food for the animals because some are aggressive and at take the entire bucket from your hands. Be prepared to wash ur vehicle afterwards because the animals literally walk right up to your door. No concession stand so have snacks and water for yourself.

We decided to give this place a try on our trip even with some of the negative reviews. We had a blast! It's up to you what you make of the experience. Yes the staff is not very friendly, yes the ostrich are aggressive, so are the Llama and camels. Not mean, but they know you have food buckets and they are use to being fed and the are competing against all the other animals. We made a game out of it! We would feed the deer and when the ostrich and Llama ran over we rolled up the windows. The Buffalo was well mannered and so were the deer and the easiest to feed. The walking zoo was ok and feeding the giraffe was fun but they only want you to feed carrot sticks and they are little pricey in my opinion. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and we would go back again!
![wild animal safari alamo tn Photo of Heather B.](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/photo/WvhnUtAHIVfLXJkO_lHbOA/60s.jpg)
I thought this experience was going to be dull, but I was wrong. 20 dollars to drive in and 3 dollars for a bucket of feed. The hooved animals were so fun! (Especially the llamas) They had no fear of the car, and ran along side us trying to get a glimpse of whether or not we had feed. They were relentless! But not as crazy as the ostriches pecking our windows and peeking down in the sun roof! Keep on the lookout! Cuz if you start feeding one, a whole bunch come to bicker over who gets the most. Then theres a walk thru part that is also fantastic! My favorites here were the monkeys and the giraffes. Worth every dime...!

Tennessee Safari Park: A Visitors Guide
Everything you need to know about visiting this hidden gem full of animals
If you're looking for a weekend activity for the whole family, you can take the kids to the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo, Tennessee. Its a place to see exotic animals up close and personal. You can even feed some of them. This drive-through park is a definite draw to the rural area.
Although it is the county seat of Crockett County , Alamo would be relatively unknown if it weren't for its primary claim to fame: hosting the Tennessee Safari Park. Many West Tennessee residents don't even know this park exists, making it one of the area's hidden gems. The park is situated on a working farm that is used for growing cotton and raising cattle.
The Animals
Tennessee Safari Park boasts over 400 animals from 80 different species . Some of the animals you may see on your visit are llamas, zebras, emus, kangaroos, giraffes, monkeys, and warthogs. There are frequently new babies being born at the park so if you are lucky, you may even get a chance to see some little ones during your visit. The park has one of the largest collections of zoo animals in the United States.
The Experience
There are two parts to the park—a two-mile driving tour and a petting zoo. When you enter the park you can purchase a bucket of feed. As you drive through the park, animals will come up to your car looking for food. Many of them will eagerly stick their heads in your car, giving you the opportunity to pet and to feed them. This is a great photo opportunity and a lot of fun for kids and adults.At the petting zoo, you have the opportunity to feed and pet other animals, including a giraffe!
Tickets cost $16 for adults, $12 kids aged 3 to 12, and free for children 2 and under.
Buckets of feed cost $3. To save money buy $4 for $10. You'll be glad you have extra feed to attract the animals.
Before You Go
- Currently the Tennessee Safari Park does not accept credit cards or checks so be sure to bring some cash.
- The park is about an hour and a half drive from Memphis and about thirty minutes from Jackson.
- Plan to spend between one and two hours at the park depending upon how crowded it is and how fast or slow you go through the tour.
- Try to visit the park in the morning, if possible. The animals tend to be hungrier and more eager to interact then.
- Visitors are encouraged to purchase buckets of feed to feed the animals. Feeding them outside food is not permitted.
- Pets, including dogs, are not allowed in the park. They might upset the animals.
Hours of Operation
The park is open every day of the year except Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Thanksgiving. If there is inclement weather check the park's Facebook Page. Snow and Ice can cause the park to close suddenly so it can protect the animals.
- Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am. - 4 p.m. (that's the time of last admittance although the park closes fully at 5 pm)
- Sunday, 12:00 noon - 4 p.m. (last admittance)

A major tourist attraction, Tennessee Safari Park sits on a former cotton and cattle farm in rural Crockett County. Open year-round, the drive-through animal park boasts more than 80 species of exotic animals, ranging from zebras, giraffes, and monkeys to emus, kangaroos, and llamas. The Safari Roads section of the park features 5.5 miles of driving trails, where you can purchase buckets of food to interact with the animals. After making the loop, head to the Petting Zoo for a chance to befriend slightly tamer animals, like pygmy goats and other farm favorites. Do keep in mind that credit cards are not accepted here, so bring cash for admission and other activities.

Tennessee safari park.
Claude M. Conley as a young boy had a vision of someday having his own zoo. At the young age of 10 he started with 2 peacocks. Continuing to realize his dream, he purchased the first herd of buffalo in the state of TN from Witchita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Lawton, OK in 1963. Today with over 60 species, the vision continues to grow through sons Claude and Jon. The Zoo and Park reside on a Century Farm, given as a land grant by President Andrew Jackson to Mrs. Helen Conley's family in settlement of the south. Hillcrest began in the 1860's as an agricultural farm and continues to produce cotton today! Over the years we have collected the breath-taking array of animals you see. Thank you for visiting TN Safari Park at Hillcrest, we look forward to seeing you again. West Tennessee is the ideal climate and environment for the animals. The weather is never too extreme and the land is suitable for all the species. More than 200 baby zebras have been born at the park since the 1980s and more than 80 baby animals of other species have been born there in the past 10 years. In addition to the Safari Park, this is a working farm with an additional 200 acres set aside for growing cotton and raising cattle. The Conley Family invites you to visit Tennessee Safari Park. We promise you will not be disappointed in the variety of animals you will see.

Claude M. Conley was only 15 years old when he started raising exotic animals on his family’s Crockett County farm in 1963. He began his unusual animal collection with buffalo, peacocks, elk and fallow deer on the same land where his family had been raising cotton and cattle since 1850.
“My father grew up reading about animals and visiting zoos, and he dedicated his life to raising exotic animals,” Claude H. Conley II says. “Today, our family has more than 1,300 exotic animals representing over 100 species.”
The Conley family knew they had something special on their quirky 800-acre farm in Alamo. So in 2007, Claude H. Conley II and his brother, Jon Wesley Conley, opened the farm to the public as a drive-through zoo experience called Tennessee Safari Park .
![wild animal safari alamo tn](https://tnhomeandfarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2010717JWA4821-350x235.png)
“We always knew we were going to open a zoo, but we were too busy farming,” Claude H. Conley II says. “We made the decision to open it in 2003, but it took us until 2007 to make it happen. A lot of people told us we couldn’t do it – they said it would never happen.”
But those naysayers were wrong. In its first year, Tennessee Safari Park welcomed 2,500 visitors.
“All the money we made from admission we put back into the park, adding new animals each year,” Conley says. “The number of visitors grows each year. In 2018, we had more than 85,000 visitors.”
![wild animal safari alamo tn](https://tnhomeandfarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2010717JWA5091-350x232.png)
A Wild Ride
What draws people to pull off Interstate 40 and spend a few hours touring a drive-through zoo, you ask? Curiosity, for one. Where else do ostriches, buffalo, camels and emus walk right up to your car window looking for a snack?
“Everybody can feed our animals through their car window, and people love interacting with the animals,” Conley says. “At our walk-through area, you can even feed a giraffe.”
Feeding the exotic animals can be a hilarious experience, since they are often eager to eat and have been known to put their entire head inside your car in search of food. They’ve also been known to snatch not only the food, but your entire food bucket. (Consider yourself warned.)

Committed to Conservation
Environmentalists especially appreciate the opportunity to get up close and personal with rare and endangered animals, getting to stroke their velvety soft skin or fur. The reality is Tennessee Safari Park is more than a tourist attraction – it’s a dedicated conservational breeding center for rare and endangered creatures.
“We’ve always been committed to conservation, and it’s been really fun to watch our animal collection grow,” Conley says. “Because we breed animals, there are lots of babies everywhere. We also have about 300 animals that are not in the park and remain off exhibit.”

If the past is any indication of the future, Tennessee Safari Park will continue to thrive under the Conley family’s leadership in years to come. Conley’s two young sons, Claude III (age 7) and Caleb (age 3), are the sixth generation to grow up on the farm and are already learning the ropes.

An Adventurer's Guide to West Tennessee
A blog of the hidden gems in the west tennessee community., tennessee safari park.
If you live near Alamo Tennessee and like me, have never before visited the Tennessee Safari Park , you are missing out! The drive-through safari park is home to over 700 animals representing over 100 different species, the vast majority of which are endangered or extinct in the wild. Unlike a typical zoo, this park encourages animal-human interaction by giving you the opportunity to feed the animals, and although they may be endangered, they are not shy!
![wild animal safari alamo tn img_1893](https://wtnguide.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/img_1893.jpg?w=748)
The experience of being so close to such rare and magnificent animals is hard to describe. At any given point during my visit I was surrounded by half a dozen animals of varying species. Camels, ostriches, and zebras all worked together to keep my car stopped on the road in order to get some feed. They would tap their noses on the glass, and weren’t afraid to stick their heads in the window if I rolled it down. If you purchase a bucket of feed, you can hold it out to feed the animals directly, but be warned, they aren’t afraid to pluck it straight out of your hands!
![wild animal safari alamo tn img_1922](https://wtnguide.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/img_1922.jpg?w=748)
Animal lovers can rest assured that the primary purpose of the park is the preservation of wildlife through conservation and education. The park emphasizes the importance of captive breeding and public education, especially sensitive animals are kept out of the public eye. For some of these species, the park is the final chance against extinction.
![wild animal safari alamo tn img_1912](https://wtnguide.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/img_1912.jpg?w=748)
The Tennessee Safari Park is open from 10:00AM to 4:30PM on Monday through Saturday, and 12:00PM to 4:30PM on Sundays.
It is located at: 618 Conley Road, Alamo, TN 38001
Admissions are $12.00 for adults and $8.00 for 2-12 year olds, with additional costs if you want to purchase feed.
As a St. Louis native, I’ve visited zoos many times. But after visiting the Tennessee Safari Park I have to agree with their tagline, there is “ No zoo like this zoo! ”
