REVIEWS OF Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari IN Arkansas

Edith Marquez

Great place for kids of all ages, you can walk and touch animals and drive thru zoo. Concessions available and picnic area if you want to bring sandwiches and cooler.

Nicole Gray

Kids loved it. I wonder about animal abuse and neglect though.

Jill Suggs

Great place lots of fun lots of animals

Scott Durma

Nice way to spend a morning. It was a lot bigger than I thought.

Nandha Kumar

We visit this place every year and it never disappoints my kids. They love petting animals here and the drive thru as well

Wendy Gaudioso

Very pleasantly surprised at the immense size of the place and the variety of animal interactions. Definitely worth the trip! We were concerned about the small enclosures for the monkeys, bears, lions, and tigers... It's a huge property so we didn't understand why they were in such small cages. We saw quite a bit of pacing back and forth, which indicated to us at the animals needed more roaming space. Otherwise, it's great.

Sara Beckwith

My family had a blast. They have a drive through and walk through safari.

Kelsey Wust

This place is amazing! Especially for animal lovers like myself and my kids. The drive through park was GREAT lots of animals to look at up close. The animals were so close, the kids really enjoyed it. We fed giraffes some lettuce. The monkeys interacted with us. We got to pet goats and an EMU! the kangaroos were tired by the time we got there, were hoping to pet one but they didn't even care we were there. Kids loved the bunnies who were not scared of us at all, which was great. We will definitely return!!!

Ally Scott

Animals got so close. Love getting to see and pet different animals!

Michael Bolls

Really great time here. Tickets weren't pricey at all and staff was helpful. Nice petting zoo and safari is quite long and enjoyable. Lots of animals for everyone to see. Though, I did notice a lot of poop around the drive thru area. Can't blame the park for having to constantly deal with such mess. All animals look healthy and roaming around freely

RondaJanette Estes

Great place could be more wheelchair friendly though

joshi angel

It's nice place to visit with children..they can enjoy view and petting also allowed some animals,it gives new experience for them... Especially I like white tiger.

Brett

10/10 Amazing experience! Great for all ages! The drive through safari was incredible. Everything is very visible and many animals (deer, camel, zebra, alpaca, emu) will walk right up to and around your car giving you a great close-up view. Then back at the main area they have a large area you can go in the pen with baby goats and kangaroos and pet them, play with them and feed them which was tons of fun. You can also get up close and pet and feed sheep, camels and giraffes. They have a pony and camel ride area. Also chickens, monkeys, lemurs and many other animals to see similar to a zoo exhibit. They have a small concessions area with picnic tables the stand had mostly snack foods and drinks. I would recommend bringing your own lunch as the selection is limited. Overall a great day of fun for the whole family. Highly recommended!

Walker Dyer

Great overall experience for the whole family!!! Very reasonable prices and an exceptional variety of exotic animals, all with the drive-through experience. We will definitely be back. Five stars!!!!!

Sneekers Nate

I can't stress enough this is the best zoo I've been to in America. I got to pet a kangaroo, camel, and zebra!

Mark Brummett

Loved all the animals. Hadn't been since I was 10 (late 70s). Took me back to my childhood.

venkata krishna

This is my first safari experience and I really liked it.they have 3 to 4 sections in safari and they are good.Drive on those roads need carefulness. A definite place for kids especially. Both safari and normal zoo available, safari is superb. Parking,ticketing, facilities are good but can be improved. Outside food allowed, and had place to eat inside for group of people ,so good as picnic too

Carl Collins

It's Ok for the novility. I would rather not see animals in cages but understand its seeing and learning about the animals there and the need to save and protect these magnificent animals.

Alisa Tipton

I absolutely loved the acreage and animals! The petting zoo offered a good variety and all the animals were laid back. We arrived very early on a Monday so we didn’t have the weekend traffic that may take place. For this reason, it felt like we almost had the entire place to ourselves with VIP access to the giraffe’s and the park. I loved the wolves, monkeys, and of course my favorite was the beautiful ride through the Arkansas landscape and seeing the wide variety of animals. The animals were beautiful!

Tiffany Hull

So amazing! We played with kangaroos, monkeys, goats, fed an emu, and more. Definitely recommend

shakunt sharad

Great family fun place. Although $15 is bit high for per person specially for a larger group

Adina Rice

Great place for families and kids would love the peting zoo

Kendra Palmer

Must visit!! My family will definitely be going back.

Rosalinda Perez

First time going and i absolutely LOVE IT, totally recommended it

teri pettengill

The kids loved the hands on .

Sharon Fry

Feeding the wallabys with my granddaughter is a fun time and the drive thru wild park is great in any weather.

Erin Dickey

Please do your research! I am a native of NW AR and have visited the Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari several times over the past 40 years. However, I can no longer go there in good conscious. 1. They are an unaccredited, for-profit facility that has been cited and fined multiple times for animal abuse and neglect. Most recently the U.S. Department of Agriculture forced them to temporarily close in January 2019 due to *68 violations* of the Animal Welfare Act, including the death of a lion and a spider monkey losing parts of its hands and feet to frostbite. 2. You will notice that most of the caged animals are in small concrete cages without water or enrichment. Many are pacing, which is a sign of distress. 3. They do not provide safe working conditions for employees. A previous employee had two of her fingers and part of her hand bitten off by a chimpanzee; they settled out of court. 4. They do not ensure the safety of children and other visitors. Multiple visitors to their Petting Area have been mauled by lion cubs that were older than the USDA allows for petting, and they have been fined many times for inadequate enclosures of dangerous animals. 5. They have also been named by many organizations as acting unethically by breeding their animals, and even selling them into the exotic pet market or to be butchered. In 2002, the owner pled guilty to selling 4 lions for their skins, meat, and body parts. In 2012, the US Fish and Wildlife Service denied them a Captive Bred Wildlife Permit due to their repeated Animal Welfare Act violations. In the 70's and early 80's I was willing to give the owners the benefit of the doubt, but at this point they can hardly claim ignorance regarding best practices of animal care and public safety. Bottom line: If you care about animals and their welfare, don’t support this business.

JTovar7

Really good experience, recommend it to anyone who loves animals.

Ozark Ldy

Hands down favorite zoo for a good 25 years BECAUSE there's so much hands on and up close interaction on the driving part and the walking area. Wish the monkey island was still there. That was the most awesome part every time! This was the 1st time in about 15 years since I moved away that I've had a chance to come while visiting the area & bring my youngest, showing her what her older siblings loved best when they were kids. Super fun & still so reasonably priced!

Verrinia Kennedy

Really fun little petting zoo at the front. It was cool to get so close to the kangaroos!!

Shawn Miller

Very cool I love seeing all the animals

Erin Tackett

Wonderful place for family trips. Get to interact with a lot of different animals.

Sameer Kamat

Good for one time visit.

Dennis DuFour

A very very nice place to go and visit the different animals in what is there relatively habitat. I really wish I had seen the elephant's but I guess I didn't get in the right area but that's me to have to group of people having a tour you have to follow what they say.

Michelle Jones

Fun place to take a toddler. Especially when teaching them about animals. Really fun interacting with them. Staff is nice. Fun drive through! Price is great

MBWEB STER

We always like coming here. They had a lot of hand sanitizer stations which is appreciated greatly, especially with little children in tow. They had a large variety of animals. They had tour guides and in the petting zoo they offered you food to feed the animals so the children enjoyed that experience as well. Overall it was fun. Their prices are a bit high it would have been cheaper to drive to the zoo in Tulsa, but I guess you pay for convenience.

Dustin O. Williams

Staff was great. There were a ton of people there when we were there. It took roughly 1.5 hours to drive through. Be sure to hang out and pet the kangaroos. They are so soft and friendly. Check out the hyena.

Stephen Harris

We had not been there since our boys were at home. We took our granddaughters and found out that they love it as much as their father did. The souvenir shop was a surprise for me. Most similar attractions over charge for everything. Here prices were very reasonable and the staff is so friendly and helpful. We bought hats for $5.00 and girly toys like sequin snakes ( How knew?). It's over an hour from our house and worth the trip.

Fancy Skittles

I went here with my grandparents and siblings, everyone is nice and its a fun surreal experience. All the animals are well kept and nice. The gift shop is kept in stock and has nice merch. Its easy to find your way around, they have posters/boards with facts about the animals they have. They have a petting zoo area with alpacas, llammas, goats, pigs, deer, and kangaroo.

Shelby Sisco

I had the best time!! Staff is very friendly, and it's just such a cool experience all together!!

Satya Shiva Kumar Gunti

This the best place for your kids or family or friends to hang around... before going into the drive through zoo, we get to visit some parks which are on our right.. where we can feed different sort of animals.. you can get animal food at the counter there(it costs a dollar).. please buy special diet food for some special animals like kangaroo and giraffe.. we will visit this place every 6 months or so.. just to refresh our minds

Jake Torrey

Great people and a great time. The animals are amazing. We had family visiting and they loved it. I highly recommend this fun outdoor and driving experience. The friendly staff makes it even more fun.

Brad Molder

Our family had a lot of fun here. The animals appeared to be happy and healthy. A particular highlight for our children was feeding giraffes. Definitely follow the rules and keep windows rolled up. An emu got up close and personal at one point.

Mike Bunch

Great place to relax and really enjoy all of the animals for a great price.

Tracie Cooper

My family and I went here September 14,2019. It was well worth the cost of admission!! Loves all the animals that were in the drive through as well as the walk through!! Even had the chimpanzee spit water on me!! We all had a great time!!!

Wanda Grisham

Juan M Pacheco H

Awesome place. A very fun drive with wide range of animals.

Jason Wallace

Wonderful place to take your family

Kimber Lewis

5 4 and 2 year old loved it!!!

Savannah Smith

Loved seeing all the animals

Sara K. Anderson

This is a great family experience. I prefer to skip the drive-thru portion and just spend an hour or two in the large walking/petting areas. Much more fun than the Tulsa Zoo in my opinion. Bring a sack lunch for sure, and maybe some extra bread for the animals.

Ingeborg Gonzales

Great experience! Beautiful scenery and relaxing. Some wild life had character and made my husband and I giggle a time or two. Great for two or a family. Picnic areas are big and very clean. The walk thru part of the wild life park also, very relaxing and interesting.

Mr. Molecular Biology

It is awesome for kids. Also, it’s a long and fun drive when you take kids.

T Williams

Pretty freaking neat. Been several times and keep going back. Lots of negative reviews but I can say the animals looked happy and my daughter loves it.

Cyndi Hatley

Drive through as well as petting zoo area. Friendly people. Reasonably priced.

Cory Saathoff

Great experience, I even liked the creepy emus

Hilary Santana

Amazing. Like way valuable. Found it on a whim and am telling everyone

Christopher Hines

My wife and two children loved the experience. The walk through portion was bigger than expected (in a good way). White kangaroos! We went on a drizzling day and was still worth going. Lots of species of animals to interact with.

Lisa Bunch

I love this place! We have visited the Safari 3 times in 4 weeks!

McKenna Faber

It's so cool to see all the animals on the drive through part, the herds clearly love the wide open spaces. My kids love the petting zoo part, baby kangaroos and feeding goats! Plus the price is amazing, its active but never crowded. The zoo keeper let my son got to feed a giraffe some lettuce. Such a great place to bring the kids!

Mom of musketeers

Good place to make memories with kids but can be kept clean and needs some maintenance work.

Mark Bartlett

Super cool place to visit and check out the animals. I recommend you drive through the safari first then when your done you can walk around to see more animals. There is a petting zoo area for the kids where you can feed the animals. Also you can walk around and view various other animals as well. Lions and tigers and bears O my.

That mom Channel

My family and I love the gentry zoo you can drive through the zoo and see several different animals which gets you close to them and they also have a petting zoo that the kids really enjoy we can easily spend a few hours here every trip we take there definitely recommend for a family fun day!

Tim Sinclair

Paid full price for a drive thru with all the animals on lock down and out of site ..nice place friendly people the price should reflect the situation,we were not give what we paid for...no explanation as to why the animals were out of site before or after..

Joe Kane

Great value! Incredible number and variety of animals.

Abbey T

Loved the walk through portion. Drive took a while but was very neat.

Chris Sligar

The kids enjoy it second time we have been to it

Justin Scaggs

Lots of animals to see, the drive thru portion took about an hour to go through. The young children with us lost interest after about 30 mins, though we had already gone through the regular part of the park.

James Johnson

We loved it. The staff were friendly. The animals were beautiful. My wife and our four year old son both got to feed the kangaroos. My four year old son got to feed a giraffe. Needless to say he had a GREAT day. I would strongly recommend that you visit when you get a chance.

Jacob Morgan

Awesome place, was a little expensiv, $30 adult, $20 kid 3-12, overall for what younger too see and interact with it's worth it. But they charged $5 a piece for horse or camel rides. Overall place is beautiful staff is friendly animals love being fed and interacted with even ones in the drive through will walk right up to your vehicle

Frances Fisherwoman

It was really fun! Lots of cool animals!

Justin Gilbert

Fantastic place to take the family for a few hours. The kids LOVE the petting zoo.

Christina Croy

Fun for the whole family. Take a lunch and make a day of it. I do think you should drive through more than once.

Cathy W

Enjoyed the afternoon with my husband. I came to the safari when I was younger and enjoyed this visit as much as I did the first time. Well worth taking the family. See the camel and giraffes at the end of your tour.

Sturdy 42489

Amazing place to bring the kids! Our school field trip was fantastic!!!

Robby Duenner

Amazing zoo. The drive thru experience is far better as the animals come right up to your window. Love the petting zoo as well. Better than any zoo you will go to. Extremely interactive and great for the whole family. Plus it's a short distance away from my home town so will go a lot!!

Senthil Murugan

Really a must visit Zoo. My parents cant walk in the zoo so we choose this drive through Zoo where you can just sit back and enjoy the animals as close to you as possible and it was a great experience which you will not even get in large zoo.

Thomas Grant

This place is disgraceful and should be closed. I was amazed that such a place still exists. The state of Arkansas should be ashamed that it allows this to continue. I am a fan of zoos and wildlife attractions for their educational and conservation activities. This is nothing more than an animal prison for profit. I'm glad I didn't pay . . . I had seen too much from the road and just pulled in to turn around. Disgusting and shameful city of Gentry!!

Blake Ellis

This place is so fun there is so many animals.

Clint Woodruff

Had a really fun time! We have two girls, 6 and 3 and their favorite part was the petting zoo. I would give the drive through 4 stars because it's hard to see some of the animals. The facility and people are really nice! I highly recommend you stop by.

Purple Rayne

Had a blast when we visited here during the summer. I bought a shirt from the gift shop and most of time when I wear it I'm usually asked about the park and get to tell them how fun and nice it was.

A Medrano

One of the most beautiful experiences my family and friends had! We visited my brother from Chicago and everyone in our large group enjoyed everything. The feeding the animals, petting some of them, riding the horses and camels! We will be back next summer the place is very clean, very friendly staff just a breathtaking place!

Brenda Comer

Our family really enjoyed this place!

Rubi David

Go throughout the day..before it gets too hot...nice small family place..pretty much main dangerous animals..lions,tigers,chimpanzee,etc....are caged...it is about a 40-45 min drive in your car to look at the animals as you are driving..yes they are minding their own business..and no they are not caged...there is also a petting zoo for kids which can be fed....we were told that as long as you didn't leave the actual location you can drive through as many times as you want and stay as long as you want within the safari without any extra charge

donna davidson

This is a awesome place to take the kids. Price is cheap and a wonderful place to create great family memories. I absolutely Love this place!

Glenda Sullins

I have lived here in my current address since 1983. I live 1 miles around the corner. The employees at the safari are all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the safari.

dhava priya

Worth going to this place.. The crowded deers and the petting zoo are awesome..

Jessica Morrison

The animals were in poor conditions. They had kids running the petting zoo area one of which shoved my 4 year old child out of their way to feed the giraffe. Nothing was signed very well and it was very dirty! Not happy at all. I think it needs to shut down permanently. The majority of animals it claimed to have weren't there either.

cva1456

Nice staff clean happy animals

Tina Fellers

Didn't get to see most of the animals, grass to high in cages, most of the animals in the cages didn't have water and it was hot today

Denys Kovalenko

Enjoyed the place. It take almost an hour and have many different animals.

Lisa Cosner

First time at a drive thru zoo. I loved it.

Crystal Selby

There's lots of land for the animals to run. But they need to be better about keeping the water dishes filled! Also a turtle that was in a water pool didn't have anything in the water pool so the turtle can get back out. They need to put a Flat Rock like a step so the turtle can step up onto it and then out of the pool. We watched him for 20 minutes trying to get out of there, and when we left he was still in it trying to get out. I'm sure that's very stressful for the turtle.

Poornima Kannappan

We loved this place. Kids enjoyed lot and loved the petting area.

Gage Keltner

I gave 2 stars due to the fact that we only saw about half of the animals today.. it may have been circumstance because it was extremely hot and I wouldn't say all the animals had proper water exposure. They all just sat in their houses. It was hard to keep our 3 year old focused and he was the reason we came. The petting zoo was a great experience for us though.. I do think the bathrooms at the gift shop need attention and the food/drink prices were high, but kind of expected..

Brad James

Awsome place to drive thru & look at wild animals. Had a camel blocking the road and wouldn't move. To funny, like it knew it was holding us up.

Shaundell Horn

Feeding the animals was so awesome. I've never got to feed and per kangaroos before!! And my dream came true to pet a giraffe!! The drive thru has so many animals, we went through twice!!

Ivan Moore

No bueno!!!!! Told us a bus could fit done the road. They were right...... it fit. But it sure scratched the hell out of the side and roof of it since they hadn’t trimmed their trees in a couple years. Would NOT recommend if driving a large vehicle.

S. Leigh Powell

Absolutely a great place to take your kids, an grandkids. The animals are very friendly, an most of them in the start of the zoo love the attention. Every animal here at this zoo is very well taken care of physically an emotionally. I have been to zoo's all over, an I would say that this zoo is always a great family fun experience for us. The animals are always eager to let you feed or pet them. The drive through safari animals are very curious, an come right up to your windows so you see them very good. Overall everything is well maintained around the whole zoo.

Jennifer Long

This place was awesome, we had a wonderful time. Even the teenagers were enjoying family time.

kimberly west

We took my 20 month old grandson there today. The animals in the walk through part were so friendly and gentle with him. We had a wonderful time! The drive through part was great also, the animals came right up to the vehicles ! Definitely worth the money!!!

Denise Collado

Awesome!!! Only needs more food options.

Jessica Rogers

Sweet zoo. Super curvy roads. Be safe.

Michael Moss

Cost a fortune for 4 people to drive through it your better of saving your money

Jack Campbell

This place was amazing. I drove four hours to get there, I would definitely return in a heart beat

Chaitanya Krishna

Great place. Loved this place! A lot of the animals were out for viewing. Staff were friendly. Great photo opportunities all over.

Trenton Talburt

Kid loved it. Lots of animals, wish you could see some of the cats up closer.

Siddhartha Biswas

Great place to visit with friends and family.

Casey

Co-worker told me about this place and my family and I were not disappointed. This place was awesome!!! We got to pet and feed animals that you can’t even get close to at normal zoos. I strongly recommend to everyone. We loved it!!!

William Grubbs

Amazing place worth stopping by. Staff was great with kids. The animals were well cared for and their environments were clean and we'll kept. The staff truely care about the animals and educating the public about them.

Prabhakar Krishnamoorthy

Excellent safari, nice experience.

Stephanie Smith

My whole family enjoyed it!!! The animals were adorable!!! Definitely coming back

lee flegel

This park is just awesome. From the people to seeing the animals. They made us feel like it was a personal tour! Everyone there went well above and beyond our expectations of the park. Will definitely come back again!! I want to thank them for treating us like we were the only ones there!! If I could give them more stars I would!!❤️❤️❤️

C Freeman

This place NEVER gets old!!! Claudia is an amazing employee that is very informative about the animals and genuinely cares about them!

PrepperBeeGuy Edwards

Great place to bring kids, make sure to close your window so the camels don't get in

Betty S.

This place is so cool! You get to pet most the animals and they will come right up to your car. The kids loved it too.

Julie Shields

I really loved this. We went in the afternoon so a lot of the animals were not where you could see them well. But there were plenty still out and about. really enjoyed .

Who I Am

This place rocks!!!!! The drive thru zoo is like no other! Animals came directly up to the car, peered in & put on a great natural show. The driving line was nice & steady too, enough time to stop & see. It is DEFINITELY worth the drive!

A

Went here with my toddler for the first time this past summer 2019. We loved the experience but unfortunately will not be going back. The animals were friendly and it was really fun being able to pet animals we haven't pet before. But the condition some of their animals are in is shameful. The giraffes did not look like they were well taken care of and they were feeding them large generic food pellets. All other animal places I have been to always feed the giraffes fresh leaves of lettuce. Their camels looked ungroomed/unkept. Their ponies for the rides looked sad. Their $1 feed bags to feed the animals has white bread and generic food pellets to feed cows, horses, goats, lamas, alpacas, emu, pigs, deer. White bread and generic food pellets are NOT the proper diet for all those animals to be fed everyday multiple times. The safari drive thru part wasn't very fun in my opinion- didn't have a whole lot to look at. Lots of animals in the beginning area with the bears had small cages. With the recent events (2019 Aug) with them putting goats and a horse locked inside the cage with the bear and the bear attacking the horse it is obvious they do not take care of their animals properly. Those animals should not have been in the bear cage to begin with. Lots of the animals in the drive-thru are in small cages with nothing for the animals to do (ex. baboons, cages in the beginning that has bears and other animals) A little research into their facility and they have had TONS of violations in several different years. This place would be amazingly wonderful if they actually cared for the animals they have. Very disappointing how they treat their animals and they should be shut down with all these violations.

Adam Parish

Fun place to take away away to see animals

Fantazia coats

I love this place but I dont agree on how they keep the animals in cages like they do.

Carrie Dixon

We had such a good time. The animals and their keepers put on a great show

Mary Main

A great variety of healthy animals. Well worth the price of admissions.

andrea morittz

We really enjoyed it.!

jo brown

Awesome but animals need bigger areasbe content

LisaandMat Miller

Love this place... enjoyed myself and got to pet all kinds of different animals including reindeer, emu. Giraffe, kangaroos, camels, goats... and even got my very first giraffe kiss and a selfie with a kangaroo

Gary Griggers

Awesome place. Great value for the price.

Spencer Burroughs

Pretty good animal park. Kids enjoyed the petting zoo area and the drive through park.

Lorelei Groen

This is a must go to. Lots to see. Enjoyed it all.

luis munoz

Best place to take your children. Everyone has a great time.

Sam Vignome

Fun fun day grandkids loved it

Rachael Reed

This place is must it was fantastic and was worth the 3 and a half hours we stayed their was very friendly people and animals . I loved it.

jeffrey pigliacampi

Fun...animals well taken care of and facilities are top notch...fun and educational

Alecia Wilbur

Our whole family had a blast!

Cathy Mackintosh

Some parts were good but others not so great. The grazing land was mainly buttercup - which is poisonous. There wasn't enough info on what was what so it was hard to identify some things. There were monkeys in very small cages on the drive round bit looking fed up. There was room for them to have much larger enclosures, so why don't they? There was a black bear weaving (pacing up and down continuously) that was in with a lonely wolf. Again, the enclosures were quite small. There was a solitary hippo and I never saw the single rhino! Back at the walk round, the petting enclosures were popular and seemed ok but again, there were animals in pens with no way of identifying them. There were snakes in very inadequate housing and the chimps seemed unhappy in a very small stark enclosure. Most of the animals looked to be in reasonable condition but there was a distinct lack of stimulation so the penned up ones all seemed miserable. Needs some attention. I wouldn't go back while it's in its present format. It's supposed to be the 4th best safari drive through in the USA. I dread to think what some of the orders are like (unless there are only 4 in america)! They need to take a look at our Yorkshire Wildlife Park. They might learn something.

Susan Martin

We've been coming here since I was a little kid and now we get to take my kids! It is our very favorite place to go and try to go at least once a year but this time it had been awhile and my 3 year old son's 1st time and we will definitely be going back in the spring and continue to go any chance we get. The staff is great and the animals are amazing. They are always adding on more and more and there is always something new to see, hear and learn. Thank you all for keeping this place running. It will forever be my favorite place to be!

Tasha Irvin

Great drive thru safari. We have been here many times. Something new each time. You will not be disappointed!

Jaime Johnson

We loved it. The openness of the facility. The ability to get hands on with the animals. It was wonderful.

Allie

Such a neat experience, drive through zoo, petting zoo, gift shop, camel and pony rides. So many neat animals to see!

Yodalys Aguilar

It was fun to pet the animals

Josh Rowland

Great for families. However, the petting zoo can be a lot of walking for some people.

Omar Garcia

great place to spend time with your family

rene keck

This is a very cool place! Better than going to the zoo!!

Eric Gellenbeck

We had a great time here and the kids really enjoyed the petting zoo to

Michelle Smith

Loved it. Worth the trip.

Kevin Knowles

Wonderful up-close experience with wild and exotic animals, and at fifteen bucks a person wow what a great deal! I had more fun here and so did the kids than we did at the San Diego zoo and that's considered one of the best zoos in the world!

Angie Gonzalez

This is an awesome place to take your kids or grandkids

Great White Soccer

Love this place and highly recommend it for young and old!! It's worth the drive and even those in our party that thought it would be a stupid boring zoo, had fun and we're surprised that it was so much fun! Worth every dime and we stayed till close and went through the drive through part twice! You won't be disappointed!

Olivia Jones

The drive through safari was pretty nice and long. The kangaroos and giraffes were our favorite in the petting zoo portion. The cost seems a little steep but somewhat understandably because of the amount of animals. Wish the enclosures were larger for lots of the monkeys, birds, lemurs, etc.

J Berry

Such a great value for the price! My husband and I enjoyed watching the animals from the comfort of our car. And when we did get out for the walking and feeding portion, we continued to enjoy ourselves! We look forward to coming back with more family!

Elise Osborne

This place was amazing!! Its family owned. Ive never been to a zoo/safari that it was so apparent that the animals are all very happy and well fed and taken care of. These animals are obviously part of the owners family. It is worth every penny and it is hands down one of the BEST zoo/safari places to visit in the united States.

Sri Gangula

Best zoo in Northwest Arkansas!

Justin Kennedy

We loved the drive thru Safari! The whole family got to enjoy a day of adventure and fun without having to walk out leggs off. The petting zoo area was also a blast, it's not every day that you can let kangaroos and feed giraffes! Good times for all ages!

John Holmberg

Very fun time whole family enjoyed it!

Glenna Sanderson

My granddaughter absolutely loved this place today.

Fae the Fawn Illustrations

We had a lot of fun, lots of animals. Great petting zoo. We would have loved to have a stroller rental. But carrying my 11 month old wasn't that big of deal, as the petting zoo isn't too big. But overall had a great experience. Not too pricey either.

Linda Wilson

Great animals and nice family outing. Petting zoo

Sara Cal

Lots of fun for the family! Drive through part and walk through part.

Shannon Berry

This was so much fun! The kids really enjoyed it! And the walk through part of the park was awesome!

This place is worth the drive. Great place to hangout all day with the family. The staff is great. They care about the animals. Been there 2 times and will go again

This drive thru park is a hidden gem in Northwest Arkansas. Secluded away from the city lights of Rogers and Bentonville, but not too far out of the way, this park is gone to several beautiful and well cared for animals, from a wide variety of continents, and hosts populations of the endangered Scimitar Oryx and Addax. Additional to this, the park hosts more traditional walk through areas with a burgeoning variety of domesticated and wild animals in new and continuing construction and expansion. There's a good reason this safari park has won distinction on Trip Advisor five years running. Come spend a day there, and find out why.

This is a somewhat unique and fun experience! Visited here with our young grandchildren and loved the drive-through, up close look at many animals and the petting zoo that followed.

This zoo was absolutely amazing! I felt like a kid all over again. Scared, Nervous and Excited all at the same time!!. I got to feed, pet and drive through the safari.

The lady at the front that collects the money was very rude she charged me $5 more her name is Chris by the way. she didn't even ask what my son's age was and overcharged me. I ask for her name she she told me that she didn't have to give me her name and if I didn't like her nasty attitude that I could tell the person that's sells the gifts.Other than that the Safari was awesome all the other employees were great.

I went last summer and never been to something like that before.. exotic animals came right up to the car. Really cool to see all the different kinds of animals. I would recommend going there instead of going to a big city zoo..

Robert Crow

Only drive through zoo around. Large collection of animals and a very large section you can walk through and see everything up close. The prices are pretty steep in comparison to a zoo in a major city that had about the same number of animals. But they aren't being subsided by a major city either. Still worth it.

Good place to take the kids out and have fun. I felt $ 15 was reasonable for the drive and petting.
