What a great family event. We were asked to go for a birthday celebration and did during the Holiday season. We decided to go in the evening and enjoy the lights. Seeing the animals was a bonus. The entrance in was the best as we could have the animals come up to the car and get close and personal. With it being dark, it was hard to experience all of the animals, as the tigers and hyenas are kept in the dark. The light show went on forever and was so cool! I would highly recommend!

I'm from the north and down visiting family. It's always a good time with the kids. Having the animals come right up to the car to get their snack. It's non-stop laughing and excitement. I got to see their Christmas lights display. It was really nice. I love to see the Bible verses the ride. It was good to see someone remembered what the season was for. There is a ton of stuff to do. Definitely come out and see them. Most importantly, make sure the kids use the restroom before you get in line. There's restrooms available at the end, and porta potties halfway through. but the ride through the lights is pretty long..

This is s great place to come with your kids and family. This parks is divided in 2 sections, one where you can walk through the different animal stations and the other part is a drive-thu in a big field of land. You get to experienced an up close of different animals like kangaroos, otters, camels 🐫, goats 🐐, penguins 🐧, lions 🦁, bear, capibarra, 🦒, 🐒, 🦌 🐎, 🫏, 🐄,🐫 and much more. Also, you can purchase w/ addtional cost food to feed fhe camels, goats, and others. They have an entrance like a barn where you can purchase ticktes, snacks and ofher miscellaneous farm type ornaments and next to it a big general store where you can find lots of plushes, toys, clothings and souvenirs for everyone. They only downside of the place is that it looks a bit run-down. It needs a bit of love around the park.

Many of the animals were restless and agitated.. their enclosures weren't big enough or natural enough for them. Some were overgrown with weeds. The one lion truly looked sad. Please try and do better for them. The giraffes were fun and the drive through part was good. The animals there cool & some really wanted those treats! Lol

Mixed feelings. We went on a Monday during the Summer, and did an animal encounter. The encounter was excellent and the girl presenting the animals was wonderful. The place wasn't too busy that day, with plenty of room to walk around—we felt some of the human space would be better suited for the zoo animals so they have more room. Feeding the giraffes is cool, too, just watch your fingers! The drive-true safari is pretty neat, and they have some exotic animals in there. It seems like those animals are basically left to themselves to breed and coexist in a very large area. The mixed feelings come from the fairly abysmal cages some of the animals are kept in. For example, when we were there, the penguins were showing what we believe were signs of overheating (flippers out, exasperated panting, flush etc) and it didn't look like they had any great way to cool off—no water feature, no fan, no ice blocks, and just one bit of shade and what looked like an overturned kiddie pool that is black and likely very hot inside. The building door was open but the penguins seemed to be in a zombie-like state and uninterested in moving. The otters were in a small caged area with 2 water buckets. It is heartbreaking to think that these animals endure these conditions many days of the year. If I'm misreading this situation, please let me know.
