Zambezi River Hippo Camp

Neat area, when we went the hippos weren’t out but we came back around noon and they were plodding around. The crocodile next door was lazy as well. Lots of fish in the tanks.

Fantastic place to watch the hippos and get inside for some air conditioning to beat the heat.

Cherokee Trace Drive-Thru Safari

Lots of unique animals to see and interact with. Really enjoyed getting close and feeding the animals. The Bison are huge as are the water buffalo. Although I am not really a big fan of captive animals this is probably the only chance I will have to see these kinds of animals in a relatively natural setting. The animals all look very healthy and have plenty of room to roam. Buy extra bags of food.

Amazing takes at least 1hr to drive through. Animals all come up to the cars. I absolutely love it and can't wait to go back!

Such a unique experience. Over 100 acres of land to explore. You have an opportunity to see close up animals of all kinds. While still wild, they seem to be healthy and well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the area.

Such an awesome animal drive through!! Absolutely loved all the amazing wildlife that we got to see and feed. I love that they are able to freely roam in such beautiful nature. Pretty scenery and awesome picture opportunities. The staff was very kind as well and we were even able to have a picnic at one of the many picnic tables they have at the front. This is the perfect experience for animal lovers. You learn a lot and are contributing to a great thing for wildlife.

Our first time visiting and we loved it! We will be back again but this time, we'll buy extra food!

Tennessee Safari Park

Today, we went to this zoo. It was an easy drive and noticeable entrance. The bathrooms are clean and cute. The animal food was not over priced. It was not expensive. There was a gift shop full of gear and rocks and candy and snacks. We got to the counter for the walk in zoo at 4:29 I know because I ran, as I’m asking for food she says they can no longer sell more. We were a party of 11 & understood they closed at five. So I say no big deal, we walk through the zoo anyways. On our way back towards the monkeys we were approached at 4:53 and asked to start exiting.

Listen, I know this is a family business but we loved your place and we as paying customers should be trusted to exit when you close at 5pm.

Customer service needs improvement but the place is well kept, clean and so many amazingly beautiful animals.

What a fantastic trip. I think I enjoyed it even more than my kids. I will warn you, the Camels and Llamas will block you in and snatch your feed buckets from you. We also had one large gal rub her neck on the hood of the car and leave a small dent for memories lol Definitely worth the 2 hour drive.

We live 2.5 hours away. We headed out for a day trip. We got there almost at opening time. The line was about 30 minutes long at this point.  We waited in line, which moved quickly.  I bought $20.00 worth of feed, which was 4 or 5 bucks for $10.00. At first, I thought we had way too much food - but then... My kiddo dropped two of the plastic buckets of food in my car.  I should've brought a cake pan to dump the feed in, and it would have been easier for the animals to eat. Two more buckets went to those strong camels. I'd suggest you save food for the end. Those animals do not get fed as much. We didn't do the walk through zoo and the end. We saw the sloth, and the kiddo bought a bag of stones to mine. It was such a fun experience, we'll definitely go again.

This was an awesome alternative to a zoo. You get to touch most of the animals but be aware because they are smart and will steal your feed bucket right out of your hands. They don't go for the feed in the bucket but just take the whole bucket. It was a camel for me and my wife.
The walk through zoo section is also pretty cool. It's not big but a good size as to not get tired walking in the heat with kids. It also has lots of animals I haven't seen at bigger zoos.

Loved loved loved!! Definitely worth it! I have 3 teenagers and 2 smaller kids always stuck on their phones, this was one thing I got all their attention too. The only thing that could’ve been better where snack stands and or vending machines. It was a little hot throughout the petting zoo area. But otherwise it was a really worth it trip to the zoo!  Oh!! Watch out because the camels will take your buckets.

Maggie's Jungle Golf

We love Maggie’s!!!! It’s the easiest way to take the kids to go see some cute animals without having to drive so far out. The man that hands out the cups of food and collects the money is so awesome, he teaches the kids and us little things we didn’t know about the animals and is always so happy to be sitting at his little shack. One of the best places to take your family in this part of western Kentucky. Highly recommend Maggie’s and all their little animals. ❤️

Jungle Golf delivered on the course experience for sure. The course was challenging, exciting and adventurous. This course is nestled in the rolling hills of kentucky and offers challenging holes that even if include an iconic windmill. The course was 40 minutes from our lake house on Lake Barkley and we got there early and it wasn't long till a line was forming behind us. I have to mention there was some beautiful Southern Baptist music playing in the background and there was a whole other section next door. This other section was a literal zoo that included a geriatric camel, goats galore, and a horse zebra. We rented a golf cart and purchased feed for the animals and off we went. If you're in the area I highly recommend you drop in and play 18.

A beautiful place, all animals are well cared for, the walk through the forest is really nice, couldn't  understand how many people made the trip with a golf cart.  This place is an oasis and my granddaughter loved it so much , so we had to go 3 times.

Great course! Animals out back are great! Highly recommend.
Bring Cash - Cash Only & they have an ATM
$10 to feed animals with a golf cart down the hill. $6 a person for mini golf

Maggie's has been around for as long as I can remember. It's still fun as an adult. We took our daughter there for her birthday.

The holes offer a decent challenge but easy enough for kids to okay.

The holes are also very shaded so in sunny weather you have shade.

Cheap tickets for an awesome drive thru zoo and petting zoo. They just opened 4 weeks ago, and it has so many animals already with plans for a lot more within the next year. Lots of shade to walk in, and the food for the petting zoo is only a dollar. Just wish the animals could walk up to the car and you could go inside the petting zoo gates. Definitely recommend for everyone!

Our homeschool group visited and had a fantastic time! The owners are so friendly, and you can tell how much they love their animals!

Grandkids and I had a fun day on the drive through safari, walking path and petting zoo.  Ate our picnic lunch watching foxes, ostriches and peacocks.

We were so excited when SOR opened! We really liked the combination of driving through and then walking around at the end to see more animal exhibits up close. There was a lot of unique wildlife and some cute baby animals that you can pet and feed. There's plenty of shade and a nice covered area where you could hang out or even have lunch if you want. It's a great outing for any age and I definitely recommend checking it! We can't wait to go back 😊

Elk & Bison Prairie

Only $5.00 per car for entry, and definitely worth it! We had a wonderful time observing the Elk, Bison, and Turkeys! The current population is listed as 60 Elk and 70 Bison. The day we went, we were able to see 5 Elk, 12 Turkeys, and about 30 Bison. We made two loops through the prairie and took it all in thoroughly. I definitely recommend visiting this place if you're interested in wildlife and in the area!

We went last night at 430pm. Stopped and talked to a volunteer who showed us some Elk horns. They said they hadn't seen many bison this season but it was the end of the elk rut so there may be some out. We saw SO many elk! Then the next day at 10am we decided to just stop by again and see if there was any chance we'd see the elk again. We got a HUGE (literal) surprise when not only did we see elk but also around 40 bison!! Such a cool experience

What an adventure driving the 3.5 miles loop through the 700 acre Elk and Bison prairie reserve which was like a Safari. We got stuck in the middle of a Bison herd for about an hour. We had a few Bison rubbing against the front of our truck making it shake hard. You will see stunning native grasslands as would have been 200 years ago. The herds are around 50 Elk and 50 Bison. The $5.00 fee to enter is money well spent to maintain this incredible habitat. I tried to get Diana to stand beside a Bison for a picture but no luck. Lol

We were very fortunate and saw several bison lounging along the edge of the trees. The roads are pretty well kept and safe for driving your vehicles.   We definitely enjoyed our visit.   Well worth $5!

We bought our ticket/ souvenir card at the planetarium.  Short drive north to the prairie. We saw bison right next to the entrance but nothing else the rest of the drive. But it was a nice dtive and great to think about how wonderful it is to have these places to encourage nature and build up a natural population.

Socorro Historic Plaza

It seems that there aren’t many shops left here. I did visit one gift shop that was open and bought a few things. I spent more time circling around the plaza hoping there was more to do. Might have been more exciting years ago.

Every old-school town has a park and some are as loved and cared for as this one. The ancient trees, and I mean awesome old trees, give voice to the fact that the town's people have dedicated their love and care for a century in order to preserve this plaza's park with such a grand shade place and peaceful lawn. The rotunda is pretty darn large and special.

A good place to park your folding chair and space out, thinking about the folks that did exactly that and pondered WW1 instead of a Pandemic.....

Fresh local produce, live music, fun for the kids. All in the center of Socorro. A weekly must visit to see what's new!!

Nothing much in this plaza..kinda boring actually. Took less than an hour to walk through. Most of the historical buildings were ruined by modern signs.

The park itself was beautiful! We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and it was surprisingly busy with many people hanging out or walking through.  Some seemed sketchy to us, but we did see a few police cars patrolling the area in the less than three hours we were there.

Southland Safari Guided Tours

What an incredible experience! The VIP tour is fantastic and key for a large family event. Michael is a gifted guide and clearly loves every single animal. I love that many animals are rescued and cared for like babies. The zoo is pristine due to the care placed in it. We will be doing this every year when I come home! Thanks for a wonderful time and for catering to my Mema. She loved it. Happy Holidays.

Most amazing animal encounter and zoo I have ever visited! The animals definitely come first. Everything is clean and safe. Worth every penny and the VIP tour was exceptional. Mike was a great guide!

A truly unique experience that is worth every penny! Our tour guide was so nice and hilarious, and helped make this a one of a kind experience! We loved learning how Southland Safari started and hope that it will be around for a long time. Everyone we met was so nice.  I highly recommend staying in the cabins the night before your tour. You’ll leave wanting to plan your next trip to Southland Safari, I promise!

We had a wonderful time, our tour was fun and entertaining. The hands on experience with the animals is something we will never forget. Thank you so much

Did VIP safari on my birthday this past Sunday. Was meant to have additional guests join but they suffered a death in the family a couple of days before - it was not an issue for the Southland folks and they adjusted the booking accordingly. Ended up being just me and my daughter and the fantastic guide Michael. He shared so much information with us and was wonderful with my 3 year old. The variety of animals was great. We loved our animal encounters, such wonderful experiences. It had been raining all night before but somehow they managed to get that to stop for our tour (it started back up as soon as we were done)! Michael even recommended a Mexican restaurant for our lunch after - delicious food. Just a fantastic experience, would highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

Columbian Park Zoo

9/23/23- Great place for kids and to grill. Lots of things to do besides the play area. You can take a walk around the pond and see the fountains. You can take pictures all over the place.

Today the Tippecano Latin Festival was held there today with lots of people and sponsor's. Plenty of things to do for kids and adults. It's a yearly event. Lots of fun!

We saw a wedding on our way out. I guess you can add that to the list of things to do. Great time!

We had a fun time. Very cheap admission, and plenty of different animals to see. The penguins seemed to really enjoy playing with my daughter, who was equally delighted.

It's not a large zoo, but it's nice. It's very clean. It's 2 dollars a person to get in, goat feed and train are extra, but worth the few extra bucks. Our only disappointment was not being able to see the penguins because of the air quality. We will definitely be making several trips to this little gem!!!

Went on a overcast Autumn Wednesday. It was a beautiful, peaceful day for some one on one time with the little. LOTS of new animals and stuff to do!

Also, a new restaurant/pub on Scott Street! We had lunch there before the Zoo and it was phenomenal! Reasonably priced, absolutely delicious food, very kind waitress, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend a day trip! It's all in one spot! Food, Zoo, Playground, and ice-cream! All at reasonable prices! 😊

I loved this little zoo! There aren't many animals but the ones they have aren't the same ones you see at typical zoos! Definitely worth the price and the hour drive we took to get there!

Old Apple Barn

Love stopping here to get a frozen apple cider, it's delicious 😋
Nice gift shop for touristy stuff. But they really need a bathroom. I hate places that want you to buy their stuff, especially food and drink and there's no bathroom.

Very nice place, lots of knick knacks, souvenirs, games, clothing, purses, cards, decorations, taffy, etc.  They sell apple and cherry cider, also apple and pecan pies 🥧 whole or slices. They are delicious. Several flavors of beverages too. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Dropped in after hiking near buy. Got blue bell  ice cream homemade rootbeer. Cookie and apple pie.

Very nice store lots of gifts and odds and ins for souvenirs. Prices reasonable.

We had ice cream and samples the apple cider ice. Everything taste so good. It had a lot of stuff it inside to look at and purchase

They have a lot of everything. Coffee, candy apples, novelty items, shirts, hats, etc. About halfway up the mountain. Stop and take a rest from your drive. Don't forget the fudge bar!
