Wild Animal Safari - Springfield/Strafford, Missouri

This was one of the coolest things we have ever done especially for our little one. The scenery was beautiful, the staff super friendly and very knowledgeable about everything. The animals were awesome and having an up close and personal experience was the best thing we have ever had our little one even thanked us for taking him here. I even got locked in the face by an ox!! Lol

Great place to take the family. Would recommend buying plenty of food. The animals all love being fed, and they know when you have food. Would recommend that if you don't want any damage to your vehicle from horns, slobber, pay $20 to use one of their rental vehicles to drive through the park. The giraffes gave wonderful photo ops when being fed, too.

The drive through Safari was fun. Kids really enjoyed getting to feed the animals as we went through. The bus driver was knowledgeable. Get information about the animals we were seeing their walkabout s entertaining. The drafts are fun. They come right up and say hi to you. We went as a school activity so I'm not sure what the regular missions are but for what we paid. This was a great experience.

Where do I start? This is our 2nd visit. After the first visit, which was a little slice of heaven. We thought it could not get any better. We were driven through in a windowless school bus, by I think Santa in the off season!? Feeding and feeding the amazing animals. We left the happiest folks! Bring us to visit 2….we rented their SUV and drove ourselves 😳….BEST DECISION EVER! No worries about our vehicle allowed us to get up close and personal. We took tons of their food and drove real slow. The slober was big time, so bring a towel. But it was the best experience! Brought my 11yr and 15yr old.

A fun experience! If you don’t want to chance getting your car scratched by animals with antlers, please rent a safari car (they offer them for an extra fee) or take the shared bus tour. Lots of animals to see here.
