Great experience for the whole family, a must do. We paid a flat rate for the safari and it included unlimited rides through the safari itself and access to the petting zoo. Food buckets $5. The safari took about 30min we did about 10 mph, nice and slow drive. They had a bunch of llamas, zebras, camels, bison, water buffalo, huge African cows, etc. You can also feed the giraffes which was one of my favorite experiences. They are super friendly and come right up to your face ($3 lettuce cups you can keep the cup as a souvenir) . They have parakeet habitat you can walk into to qnd feed the birds. ($3 feeding sticks) We had a really good time and are definitely planning to come back in the future.

This was a wonderful experience! We went with our daughter and son in law And our 5 year old and 2 1/2 Year old grandchildren. We all had a great time! We rode in the back of my son in law’s pick up, while he drove through the park. We were able to feed the animals and we went around. It was so cool to get so close to the animals. Beware of the llamas! They do think that they should be fed first!. Ration the food so you will have some for all the animals. We bought several buckets (hang on to them tightly, they will try to steal the bucket) and then dumped them into a bag. That way we could put a handful into the bucket at a time. They do eat it fast.the grandkids absolutely loved it!

The llamas will drain your feed buckets quickly so try to stretch it with those guys. We saw each of the animals that were included in the safari guide book we were given so that was great. I didn't get any pictures of the budgies but their enclosure was a lot of fun. One came and sat on my foot and another tried to get into my pocket. The Kangaroos were lazily watching us and a giraffe grabbed my daughter's shirt (keep your distance and this won't happen)

We had so much fun! Right away, we were surrounded by cows and llamas, so hold on to your buckets tightly because they are hungry! We immediately spilled a ton of food in the car feeding the cows, so make sure you hold the bucket out far enough. The camels are very strong and will take the bucket right out of your hand! Zebras were awesome and the longhorns were amazing to see up close. We laughed the entire time and our kids were squealing in the back seat watching us feed these animals. 10/10 recommend!!

This is a must-do activity in Alabama! My friend and I (both of us 50-ish) spent almost 2 hours driving through the Safari Park and then visiting the petting zoo area, and we had the BEST time! We laughed so hard when the camel stole her bucket of food, when the zebra surprised me by sticking his head in my window, when we fed the very bold llamas, and when we got to pet the giraffe! Go! With kids, without kids, with a friend, with your family!

Soooo amazing!! My 2 and 4 year olds were so excited. My husband and I also felt like a kid being able to be up close to the animals. I recommend getting 3-4 buckets of feed ($5 each). We bought 3. We dumped our feed into a bag and then adding small amounts in the buckets as you feed the animals because some of the animals will try and take the bucket or some will pour out in car as they eat. Camels especially love to try and take the bucket. Definitely get the bird feed stick $2 each. One per person is plenty

We were here on 8/4/23. This place was absolutely amazing! We arrived mid-afternoon. It was 98°, with a heat index of 105°, and even with the crazy heat, THERE WAS SO MUCH ACTION!! We took the advice of others on here, and brought a large bag to dump food into, to help ration it out. Otherwise, it would have been gone quickly!! We would absolutely recommend this as a must stop for anyone, young or old! Absolute A+ experience that we would be excited to do again if we are ever in tje area! Including gift shop, safari, and quick walk around the walking area, we spent a little over 2 hours here.

Get ready to get up front and personal with these gentle giants! By far the best drive thru safari around!! Grab 2 or three bowls of food because you're gonna want to feed them all! We went through twice and wanted to go through again just for the heck of it lol!The staff at the shoppe are so sweet and friendly and absolutely the sunshine of the park! Smiles all around you know they love their job! Hands down the best day spent there!

We had an amazing day here! We took our three teenagers for the day. We rode in the back of the truck while my husband drove, we all were able to interact with so many animals! To be able to be so close to the animals and feed them was so cool! The camel's stole a few of the feed buckets! They are so strong!!!!! Unbelievably cool experience! We feed the giraffes (my favorite animals! ) The bungee birds enclosure is super cool! I recommend getting the sticks for the birds. Then the twins went to sloth encounter for their birthday. So highly recommend

This place is great. They charge by the person and not by the car with the final bill coming down to 20-25 per person. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a walking part as well as a driving part. We took about 100 minutes to see everything. I recommend buying at least one bowl of food so you can feed the animals. My 9 year old had a blast.

Genesis 2:19 ERV - The LORD God used dust from the ground and made every animal in the fields and every bird in the air.☛We came as a couple,and it's amazing. Gave me greater appreciation for the design of God. We plan to return very soon. The cashier at the shop (the one buying a home) was absolutely terrific. I'm curious how they keep animals in designated area without fences. 🤔 I'd advise getting 2 buckets so you don't run out. I really like the fact book. We plan return very soon.

Outstanding place for kids to visit and see animals up close from other countries. My whole family laughed and enjoyed themselves for a couple of hours. They really enjoyed the bird's, especially when the bird's would fly and land on their arm's. The goats were very friendly, along with most all of the animals. It's a must visit if you are in the area.

I had no idea what to expect, but let’s just say I recommend this place 10/10. Do be careful to hold on to your feed buckets. I’d recommend emptying them in to another container and just feeding a little at a time from the bucket. (We lost a full one almost immediately.) Big fan of the zebras. Llamas and the longhorns can get a little in your dish. Babies and adults and animal variety all around. We loved the areas that didn’t require driving too. Feeding giraffes and birds was awesome. There were a few leftover feed sticks around the enclosure for the birds we used after ours were gone. All you get to see and do it’s quite shocking honestly. Only critique would be their gift shop selection. There’s a lot of stuff but nothing my kids were dying to have.

Visited recently on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon. It’s a wonderful experience. You definitely want to buy food to have for the animals. The llamas are the most curious and eager to eat. Be prepared for them to stick their heads in your car. The zebras and the bison were also happy to take the food. I’d bring a towel or napkins because you will most likely get slobbered on. It easily takes 45 min or longer to drive through.Be sure the check out the aviary afterwards. It was worth buying a small stick of bird seed and having the parakeets land on your hand to eat.Overall it’s definitely worth a trip, especially if you are in Montgomery - it’s very close.

Fantastic little safari park! Lots of animals in the park. Feeding the animals can be fun...but several of them are clever and will steal your feed bucket - especially the camels! I recommend getting a few extra empty buckets and just keeping a little food in them at a time.Driving can be a little stressful, as some of the animals are very bold and will block your path on the road.It's a great place for kids, but it might actually be a little scary for very young children. The animals can be very eager about getting food.Overall, this is a great zoo. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restroom was spotless. And the price was reasonable. I'd recommend it to anyone passing through - kids or adults.Restrooms: Very clean!

We went on a cold day and still had fun! The staff was cheerful and knowledgeable. The animals were healthy and in good shape. We paid extra for the sloth encounter which was 100% worth it. Grace, the keeper, knew a lot about sloths, and Lima and Flash were very personable!

Awesome time!! Took my daughter here for her 5th birthday and she loved it. The animals actually stick their heads inside your vehicle to get to the food so be prepared to be bombarded lol. It's a great time and you can hand feed the giraffes!!

Amazing!!! The price at $22.95 per adult is comparable to other zoos and well worth it! Come in the morning when it's less busy. We bought the feed, romaine cup and budgie sticks. They give you a great guidebook to identify the animals. The petting zoo was nice and laid out very well. Excellent experience! Would absolutely come back.

This was an awesome family experience! So amazing that this is located just in the middle of no where! The animals come up to your car and you can feed them from the windows! There is also a petting zoo with goats and pigs and a beautiful giraffe pavilion! You are able to feed the giraffes and there is a bird area where the birds will sit on your hands! Definitely worth seeking this place out and enjoying all they have to offer!

Can not recommend enough! We had a great time! Wagon ride is worth the extra $10. This place is clean, shaded, not crowded, has just enough to do without feeling like your ready to go, we had the best time 10/10 would recommend, can’t wait to go again.Special moment: we were celebrating a birthday, we got to see a llama be born, a watusi calf was also born this morning… so cool!

New favorite! This place is great. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it to be as legit as it was, but I’m here to tell ya, they’ve outdone themselves with this whole setup! I think it was well worth the money. We were here mid-day in august and got to interact with probably every species here. The giraffes were friendly and I love that nothing is micromanaged. It’s all very open-air, and free to come and go, yet it’s still safe (I have toddlers). There is TONS of shade in the park area. Perfect for a picnic! Love love loved it!
