This place did not disappoint! It was absolutely fantastic! All of the animals were active, happy, and ready to eat! We went in the morning as soon as it opened, which is probably the best time to go. I would think the animals would be lazy as the day goes on and it gets warmer. We only went through once since we got to pet all the animals. I would definitely recommend it, and we will be back!

We went here on an impromptu visit over Labor Day Weekend. Had no idea what to expect. As we got there late in the day, we learned we would be the last visitors and the park would close soon. This contradicted what the website said. If you have the means, use a pickup truck because it's easier to be in the truck bed and feed the animals than have them stick their heads in your car. Admittedly, I'm conflicted about how I feel about animals in captivity. I think these are slightly better than zoos and our kids had a good time. It might seem a bit pricey - and it is -- but I don't think people realize how much it costs to maintain a place like this. Apparently, if you get there earlier, you can drive the Park multiple times which might make it more worthwhile. In short, this is a once a year or when guests from out of town are visiting, not an every weekend activity.

Went in August. 3 adults in a car having a blast! We wide the drive through safari and then the private Sloth tour. The sloth thing was imo too expensive and not worth it. Plan on going again. Just buy double the feed buckets because we ran out .

If you're coming from Memphis like me, let me answer your first question: Should you visit this park or Tennessee Safari Park? I've been to both and it is an easy answer. Tennessee Safari Park. It may be a little longer drive but the animals and experience overall is much, much better. Next question: is this park worth a visit if you're just passing by? Well, it depends on your budget and expectations. It's not cheap. We spent over $100 for the 4 of us. And at the time and day we went, very few animals were eating. They were mostly lounging by the water or under the shade. We tried to shake our bags and get their attention but to no avail. And it's not like they were full from other visitors, because the park was empty. When I had asked the lady at the front if the animals were hungry and how many bags to buy all she would say was "they roam freely". I guess the owners taught her that response. It was 10 am on a Thursday, shortly after they opened. Again empty park. The feed bags were only 1/4 full. At $4 a bag it was quite expensive. Compare that with the Tennessee Safari Park where it's 4 large bowls filled to the brim for only $10. But ya know what, it didn't really matter how full the bags were at the end of the day, because the animals just weren't interested in eating. We bought 6 bags for 4 people and only went through 2. At the end is a very small petting zoo where you can get rid of the rest because the goats there are hungry. Also the birds were hungry for the additional $5 cup of nectar (1 free refill). The one nice thing is there were two giraffes that roamed freely. I don't know if that's always the case because we saw an enclosure saying $5 for giraffe feeding. But on the day we went the giraffes were roaming and we gave them a bunch of food. There's also a camel who is well mannered unlike the Tennessee Safari Park where the camels were aggressive. There's a cheetah in a cage somewhere along the safari drive. We had thought it was near the Petting zoo enclosure but it's not. We missed it during the drive apparently. I can't recommend this place, although I wish I could. But for our visit it was mostly a bunch of driving around looking at a few animals from a distance.

Excellent place if you love animals! They are all great - the ostriches peck like chickens though so the food flies out of your hand! My favs are the Llamas and giraffes - so sweet!

Such a wonderful experience. My friend and I had an absolute blast. The variety of animals and the option to feed them is awesome. Great place for families, friends, and animal lovers.

The grandchildren ages 6 and 9 enjoyed this adventure. They want to come back again. They loved the zebras and giraffe's.

They are very gentle

We've been here twice now and will be back again. There are lots of animals that will eat right out of your hand. While sometimes you get stuck behind another car for a few minutes the animals are never full and will still come up to you. It's a great place for the whole family.

This was a incredible experience for my whole family I feed a zebra and the lamas were so cute and the giraffe feeding was amazing the barn birds were so much fun and took some silly photos thank you guys for being wonderful also all the animals are very well cared for and that's was so great to see too!

Lamas are so sweet

Zebra time feeding

Omg! Where do I start!? I absolutely love animals of all types! This place gave me a different range of animal/ pets! Of course my family had an incredible time and didn't want to leave! There was a food truck, selling hot dogs and other small dishes inside of the safari park. The park was not overly crowded and it was a perfect adventure during this pandemic!!
