We were told when we got there at noon to do the walk thru first and then head to the drive thru. When we were waiting in line for the drive thru they shut it down. My husband demanded a full refund if our money and they gave it to us.

Very unorganized. Bumper to bumper 2lanes in the drive thru. Nowhere or no how to drive around. Free food cups to everyone. Took one hour to drive 50 feet. Watched everyone feeding carrots by hand and throwing food in center of roadways since the animals were over fed. Saw hundreds of deer, antelopes, and a few buffalo roaming free. Zebras and giraffes behind fences. This is an African safari? Walk thru was a joke also. Dark cages with few random birds and monkeys. Been to 3 safaris in the Midwest, this was the worse $20 spe... read more

We brought my son whom is 21/2 and he loved it! We were able to still go through even though it was raining and the animals were all out! We loved it! We will defiantly be back!

Fun! A bit pricey but realizing the cost of caring for the animals I guess it's fair.

We visited yesterday and had a great visit! The animals were extremely interactive and popped their heads right into the car....nothing like getting a wet kiss from a buffalo! The cost is a bit pricey but thankfully we had a coupon for entry to the park which helped make up for the expensive carrots. I would recommend this adventure for anyone visiting the area.

Walk thru is zooish but drive thru animals were walking up, head in the windows even without food. Save your $5 on carrots for the end, they give you one last chance to buy some for the giraffes.

Our family had a wonderful experience at the African Safari Wildlife Park. We went twice (even though we had only planned one day) because our boys had such a blast there. They are already planning next year's vacation!!! Thank you for such an amazing experience.

We had the best time here. Yes there is a line of cars but not terrible. We went on a Thursday around noon and all the animals were hungry! They covered our cars, stuck their heads in the windows and slobbered everywhere which was hysterical. You do end up with a dirty car but most of our dirt and mud was on the outside. Kids said it was the favorite part of our trip. We would come back again.

My family had a blast! Worth the money I think. Yeah, a bag of carrots is kind of expensive but I understand why. My daughter loved feeding the kangaroos more than anything. I did however, see one thing that I did not approve of which is why I gave 4 stars, I did not like the staff in golf carts scaring the Bison..one woman even hit one on its head and both people on golf carts laughing about it. Bison are huge animals and any animal being scared can seriously hurt somebody, what if it would have ran in to a car trying to ge... read more
