Reviews of Parc Safari (Zoo)

Josiah Raiche

Fun for preschoolers and big kids too. Highlights included the feline tunnels, feeding the gnus on safari, and the water park. Be sure to bring your own lettuce or celery, it's common to feed the animals from your car. On weekends they sometimes have someone selling it at the beginning of the safari. No carrots, they are forbidden for being too sweet. The water park has slides big enough for a grown-up and nervous children to do together. There aren't age limits on anything as far as I could tell so brave little ones can do the big slides.

We loved it. The Safari was a lot of fun. If you can take your time and are stocked up on animal treats, then it'll be worth the trip. We had camels and the emus reaching into our vehicles to be fed and the kids loved it. The restaurant in the park was also very good.

Great place for family, children in overall. There are two main parts: one to drive car through and feed animals with vegetable (no carrots), second to walk and see dangerous animals. Drive through car take 45 minutes and close at 3pm. You can travel by zoo truck also. Water park in summer open for kids, bring swimming cloths with you. Ticket is around 70$ for 2 adults and kid. Plenty free parking.

Great zoo, lots to see and 3 swim areas for everyone to enjoy. We went for 2 days in a row, worth it so you can take your time and sometimes get a better feeding or view on the second time around.

I wouldn’t give a single star if I could. We arrived at the park and paid around 60-70 bucks for two adults and left within the same hour after the safari car ride. Two camels proceeded to chew and rip off our car antenna as well as the parking back camera including the protector of the camera. When they started chewing on the windshield wiper we managed to scare them away. They were blocking the car so we couldn’t exactly drive off. Once they walked off, I ran out of the car to pick up the pieces from the ground and called the park to get help. They seemed very uninterested and the only person who was concerned was a security guard. We have seen plenty of staff but they were very hostile about the situation and we only got apologies from security. They took our statement and gave us an email address for customer service. They refused to refund us so we left without continuing our visit. This was a brand new car we bought a few weeks ago. It’s safe to say I’m not visiting this park anymore and do not recommend it. Apparently this happens a few times every season enough times to desensitize them. Watching animal planet at home next time.

Michele Vinciguerra

Driving around was not the best part. Too many people clogging the way, not following any directions on the signs. Basically people make the experience not great. The park itself is fun and the water areas kept the kids busy for hours. Facilities for families (ie breastfeeding rooms or family bathrooms, cart rental) are not present but there are some useful things for kids. Lower urinals, little benches to wash hands etc etc. Didn't interact with staff much but the ones we met were nice.

William Prioriello

After touching any animals WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY. Hand sanitizer is NOT ENOUGH. You MUST use soap and water. My girlfriend and I both got sick after eating even though we used hand sanitizer.

Brad Parmar

Little expensive on Dsily rate. Water park- Activity Good if you plan that. Language signed are inconsistent, meaning No balance between Ehglish & Fracais! It is close to 300Million English speakers vs 6 Million French. Animal park and Safari park is very good.

Billy F.

Had a great time with the kids! Lots of animals and fun water park! Great staff

Carrie Desp

Getting better every year!

saed mhd

The kids had a great time

Sylvain Proulx

I have to admit never been didn’t know what to expect... for the price this was probably the best I have been, better than Toronto zoo and others. Need some updates, but overall really well organized! Thanks for a great day with my son!!

Loay Assaf

You can easily spend the whole day here! Pack your lunch and have it there at the picnic tables. Bring your bathing suit for some cool time in the pool.

Rony Islam

First time going there. Loved it. Recommend everyone to go there.

Jo Isles

This place used to hold a high place in my heart ,but now seeing the animals they have on the tour changes everything. I feel like the parc is kinda run down looking. More activities for kids in the main area of the parc. Do not eat anything from the food service counters....flies everywhere!

Holly Jones

Facilities under renovations/ a lot of construction on our last visit. Offered free passes for all of us to return before the end of the season

Amanda Hammond

Loved it. The kids had a great time seeing the animals and in the water park

Benjamin Miller

I definitely recommend doing the car safari portion where you drive your car through and let the animals come up to you. Most wonderful experience in my life!

Dk Mayes

Awesome you drive around and see animals uncaged camels and giraffe come up to the car where you can touch or feed them also you can walk and see the cage animals like lions tigers bears and others and they have three different water parks with activities for everyone for toddlers to adults with lots of restaurants to Great Park just outside of Montreal

M Hemati

SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! You would walk over these huge animals and just wondering how gorgeous they are.

Paul Leung

Was ok, kids loved it. Make sure to buy a bit of those foods for animals for the deer park. The deers are much more well behaved than the ones in Japan Nara parc where they literally want to mob you

Antonia S

Animal drive was great. Only thing when in the store the staff kept following me around. Dont like to shop with people looking at me.

darcy bheekoo

Went for the lion's breakfast and the animation was all in French, for a zoo where Ontarians and American and English speaking people's in Quebec goes regularly, they should talk in English also, shame on them. All the staff should be speaking both languages as a requirement.

LiLi

It wasn’t as fun as I hoped for, but my daughter liked it. It was overall a good experience. Highly suggest to go perhaps during the weekdays to avoid the crowds and the waiting.

Mitch Stone

The best part was closed, the tube ride the park was under renovation. Didn't have such a great time. Maybe it will be better when they finish renovation

V. BM-Avisar

Great place for family fun!! Water park and animals

Liliane Saraya

We had a blast! The safari expedition is amazing. We get so close to the animals. And the new waterpark is awesome and still more to come by next season!

Mahalia James

Great for family and friends outing. A relaxing time to spend with the entire family packed with fun. What is so great there are always specials to grab on Tuango.

YC Y

Despite construction works, park is well organized

Randy Abair

Fun time and reasonably priced. In general the animals seem well cared for, and perhaps a bit lazy from life in captivity... possibly a little bored. Also some dromedary or camel stole an entire box of allthe food we had to distribute among all of his friends.

Florean Daniel

Very bad organization for the first summer day abd gate 5&6 are dead.

Bishoy Abd El Messih

Very nice place. It's cool how u can stay in your car and the animals come to you. Also, very big playgrounds for kids to play in

Carolina Lannes

Make sure to go all the way to the end of the zoo,.to the deer forest. You can feed the deer and they come right up to you. The closest I'll ever feel to snow white!

Michael Cameron

Was closed drove 2 hours for nothing, website said it was open so we went and sign on gate closed, was another 7 vehicles at site when we arrived also disappointed

PAUL NAOUM

I love the place. you never have the chance to see e everything.

BILAL AL-HADDAD

Great for families and children to spend the day. Season pass is a better option if you think you will do it twice or more in the season. The safari it self is a great experience for the kids to get a closer view. Staff do speak French mostly, nothing wrong with that but would be nice if they see you struggling to try and help you in English as well. Waterpark isn't that big but it's enough for young kids. Loved the lions tunnel great close up experience.

Raphaëlle Beauregard

I love the driving around part, but the size of the enclosures of the animals are truly depressing. There are so many lions in such confined space, and with glass all around they have no escape from all those people grouping around them and knocking on the glass. This is not a good habitat for them. Same for the bears and multiple other poor animals. This place is made to cater to people who want to see the animals with absolutely no consideration for the well being of the latter. I had god memories as a kid but going back as an adult, after what I witnessed, I decided never to fund the miserable living conditions of those animals ever again.

Renee G.

What a wonderful place to visit with the family! They offer a CAA/AAA discount of 15%. There is a wonderful variety of animals. There is so much to see, consider planning a 2-day visit. The water park was partially closed when we visited, renovations. The gift shop was a lot of fun. They had a wide variety of items - e.g. ebony carvings from Africa, t-shirts, designer mugs, stuffies and more. One thing missing - water fountains to refill water bottles. And vending machines were not working.

Piere Lauzon

Whent over there with the stepdaughters and grandchildrens had a ball enjoyed it alot thanks to parc safari for the good time will be back next year

Sheree Smythe

Great place ..but if you want to swim. Wait a few weeks..lots of construction right now.

Jason Shadbolt

There was a lot for m y kids to see and they loved riding in the car and getting close to the animals. Only downside was there was renovations happening in the Waterpark at the same time as we were there

Mitesh Avlani

Ok reached there at 0915 Am there was line already of 50 some cars, doors open at 1000 Am, very few animals looks like they put camels everywhere and made it look like lot of animals ok would not recommend this place very expensive US $ 60 for 2, also there is construction going in water park and only 2 rides are open.

Flora Eve

The weather was about 20 degrees today, it was perfect. The animals are almost all out and we got a lot of nice pictures

Willowspritew W

Great experience. Bringing lettuce is a good idea if you want to feed the animals that can be feed. Brought radish leaves too and the deer were able to tell it's not as good as lettuce. The Bush car safari is good if you don't want to drive your car through the safari expedition. Lions were amazing. Too bad the waterpark tube slides were still under construction though.

Felicity Stark

A nice place to see once or twice. A little less organized than other parks, also much of the water features (lazy river, slides) were still under construction. Many inflatables were not attended by staff. Positives are that it's really relaxed and staff are very friendly. Lots of good play structures and good food options available everywhere, even a good selection of beer. Safari ride was excellent, we did by car first, but the truck was way better - the only way to see it IMO. Was nice to be able to do/see all of the park in under a day, leaves enough time to relax and let the kids just play. We spent a second day just revisiting our favorite parts.

Juliana Ninno

When you do the safari on your own car, the price is included in your ticket. Is a pretty good activity. My Kids loved it... they enjoyed feeding the animals and seeing them from really close was amazing. Or you can take their transport for $$ and come Inside with the giraffes and others animals that you can't see from your own car. I liked the possibility of seeing animals from really close, it's a wonderful experience, however I saw sad caged animals. Many of them were on veterinary check out, so they weren't outside. I saw the tiger in a small cage ...It feels wrong. But they looked healthy. The pool was super cold. unimpressive waves. But the pool for the little ones was good and also the slides. Next year they will have more options for the water park which is good. I think in general that the main idea is good, but obviously if you expect to see the animals close, the cages gonna be small.

Sheila Porter

It was a fun day. Overall, the grounds were clean and well kept. Bathrooms were very clean as well. They were constructing certain sites so we were inconvenienced a little and were offered a free second visit. The only thing is that they mentioned that the wave.pool was.closed.but it was all the water except for the kid slides. They should advise that the animal food is cash only, or sell some at the entrance so that credit or debit card can be used. Also they should advise that there is a radio station... Unfortunately we noticed that as we were leaving. Water fountains are very scarce and no ATM machines to be found! Other than this, the rest of the visit was very fun and we all had a great time.

Mahreen Kazi

Good place to visit with kids ... enjoyable

Jasmin Couture

So nice place to visit with children's. A lot of fun with majestic and beautiful animals, the waterpark, 5 continental farm, the deers pathway etc ....

Pat Lussier

It's over rated not much to see for the price. Animals dont look well treated.

Rosita Rivas

Wow amazing is a nice park, family park, I want to return again

joseph poulin

Too many people. I don't like crowds. Kids had fun though.

Ella Singh

That was the most horrible experience in my entire life! We left Ottawa and drove almost 3 hours to attend the Safari. I had 2 babies one is 6 months old. We had a prepaid ticket and we have been waiting just 2 hrs to.get in. We thought waiting was done but the safari loop was all packed up!!! We have spent another 2 hrs just to see nothing but camels camels and again camels!! It was already 3pm by the time we could finish the loop! My babies were crying and exhausted I couldn't show him anything only camels and a bit of the giraffes at the end !! We couldn't do the zoo, we couldnt see the lions and bears or barely anything !! 5 hrs of driving to see camels ! I mean seriously . Park is close at 5 PM in the summer !! Employers dont know English! I was hot angry and frustrated with my 2 babies in the vehicle and we were just stuck in the middle with all the camels ! Dont waste your money and time! I went to Granby zoo and it's not even comparable . Granby is ×100 more better than this! Animals look so miserable and I didnt see a single tree for the poor animal to hide from the sun and it can get very hot . Just sad

Howard Lima

Nice park to go woth you family, eapecially with kids to show them beautiful animals. You can go with you car and feed some animals. There is another section where you can find lions, bears, monkeys too. Besides, there is a three water parks that you can enjoy with your family!

Ross D

If you are two people it might be ok, but a family of 5, @$160 just to get in is crazy.

John Alexander William Shepherd

Always have fun with my young kids. It is pricey when you consider that the drive through with the animals is not what it used to be compared to 15+years ago. A lot fewer animals. Sometimes you drive through sections of the park not seeing a single animal. The main park has animals but it's the same old each year.

Christopher Nguyen

The place to go south of Montreal if you want to see all sorts of animal wildlife. Also has a water park with slides, a lazy river with some turbulence, so you can keep cool on those hot summer days. Beware of the crowds and go early!

Nicole Shtyka

Thought there were more animals to feed during the drive thru, but overall it was great for the kids. Giraffes and zebra section was great!

Euler Alves

Lovely. For your very first visit, it's unforgettable. Definitely, don't skip the Safari on the truck. It goes trough an exclusive path that worth the fair price. Get even more fun buying from them designated vegetables to feed the animals. It's affordable in order to avoid someone could be tempted to bring it from home. Most of the species there, are in danger of extinction. You get more pleasure knowing you are collaborating in some extension.

Dany D

Very fun, spent the day there with the family. Got to be up close and personal with the animals and got to feed them too. Due yo it being very hot the animals were mostly in the shade sleeping and relaxing. Got to see some newborn animals running around with their moms, monkey, deers etc. Nice to have a picnic as well but i bought the food instead. There should only be indoor restaurants instead to avoid flys and insects flying around while they prepare your meal and when sitting down to eat etc. Overall was fun and will go back.

Fred Funkel

Lacked signs, a few times wondered if I missed something. Bathrooms were a disaster at water park.

Marina Polozenko

This is an amazing zoo, not far from the Canadian/USA border.We decided to spend a couple of ours there on our way to Quebec. I've been to a couple of Safaris before, so compare to them this one was good,but not the best one. We were there in the beginning of summer and there were not so many animals to feed and it seemed like only camels were interested in food. Zoo itself is great. Lots of animals. There is a small forest with a bunch of deer just walking everywhere so you can enjoy walking with them. The lion area is one of a kind! It's made out of glass, so you can experience lions being very close to you and jumping over you.

Ian A.

Parc Safari is a zoo where the hook is the safari aspect. When you arrive at the park, there is a road you can take to see pack of animals such as buffalos, camels, antelopes, etc. That will come to your car. You can feed them salad or grains (sold on the spot). They also added an attraction thats an expedition in an open truck to get closer to animals such as giraffes with a guide. The inside of the park is a pretty standard zoo, perhaps a bit on the smaller side. You do not take the whole day to visit the animal side of the park (tho there are a few long waiting lines). This place is most ideal for families who want to take part of the day to chill at one of the aquaparks/pools. Right now (Summer 2019) the site is having renovations, so one of the aquatic attraction is closed as well as some sode things. I was given free tickets to come another day for that reason. There are a few places to eat at. Its average. The price depends. For instance for 10$ you can get a combo. However you might pay 5$ for an ice cream or 3$ for a beverage. Theres also an area where you can pic-nic. I would suggest going to see the animals towards the end of the afternoon or early morning (if you arrive for opening hours at 10). When the sun is fully out and its hot, the animals are sleepy, move less and lay in the shadows (who could blame them!) Look out for some familial and educational activities here and there.

Nicole Zheng

It’s a great place for children. We spent a great day here. I saw on the park’s website that it’s not allowed anymore to feed the animals carrots, but I saw some people still gave camels carrots...

Max Medina

Great experience on feeding -interacting with animals, animals are in a more open environment, you can bring the recommended food to feed the animals or you can buy at the place, place is great for a family experience, good for kids, you can bring your own food for picnic or you can buy from the restaurants inside, prices were reasonable, there is an aquatic park so kids can enjoy the water games and pools, there’s a pool with waves, a big free parking lot, boutiques, a fair type game zone, there are shows for kids, recommended place

Sparky's Arcade Restorations

We see the ads on tv about a wave pool and tube river on an hourly basis.... only to get there last week and they were all closed, being painted. So the tv ads announcing these attractions are misleading. We actually play a game and yell "liars" at the tv when the commercial comes up. Lol.

James Hutchinson

It's obviously great to see some wild animals that you normally wouldn't see but very sad to see how closed in they are with such little space! How is it that the monkeys have like three times the space the Lions do!?!

Annalyz Siliézar

Sadly, we didn't have a great experience, or perhaps we had high expectations based on some friends' recommendations. The entrance kiosks were short staffed, which meant we had over 40 mins of queueing in the car to get in (arrived at 11:30, so not even for the opening time). The food area was also very short staffed (and some kiosks closed) and full of flies (probably something hard to avoid with all the animals). I had 2 hangry kids and the waiting time between the queue to order and waiting for the food was also over 30 mins. Luckily I had some snacks to keep the children semi distracted. I would definitely advice bringing your picnic. There was only 1 water feature working (for which we received $5 off per person as compensation). You can see there is a lot of construction going on theoughout the park with many more features coming, which will hopefully be very nice. The animals were all nice and we all enjoyed those areas and the drive-through safari. Definitely not a 2-day activity at the moment, but a nice day out.

poonam poonam

It's nice place to visit specially for kids

Amanda Mooney

Animals were cool however water park was lacking.

Max Tardy

This place is amazing! Many animals up close, water park for all ages, camel rides, plays and shows, etc...

Ángel Constantino Gahan

Good pack and Amazon experience

Mark McGinnis

I come every summer with my family. My kids love to feed the animals and play in the water park. It has a nice picnic area if you want to bring some food and grill.

hope 86

Great experience but the expedition not worth it we enjoyed it more with our car since the animals come closer

stevepiro39

Always fun, but beware, some animals can ruin your car

Stevens Morrissette

A lot less animals. Site was overgrown Not as I remembered it

Chris LeBlanc

So much fun. So many amazing animals.

Vlad Solo

It's a great park to spend a day with the kids. There is definitely more to do there than you can in one day, which makes it perfect for having multiple visits through out the summer that are unique. Here are few ideas: you can bring a picnic with you, including BBQ -- charcoal/gas is permitted on the park grounds; you can take a drive in the car around the safari space and see and feed many animals that come to your car as you drive around; you can spend time in the water park -- there are two offering multiple slides, splash pads and pools; you can walk around to see many different animals, ride ponnies or camels. It can get packed, but not to the point when it's crazy.

Rebecca Sutherland

Amazing! So glad we brought the kids there.

Joy Wattie

A great place to take the children for a trip to see many different animals. They won’t allow you to feed the animals carrots anymore, but you can still feed them other vegetables. There is also a great park and water activities for the children to do as well.

Tom Sanner

The animals are wonderful ❤️ but the park is much to expensive to visit often...the Cafe's were slow expensive and the their food inedible

liz cress

In my opinion i thought it would be a bit better. The car lines were crazy long and the animals were not really interested. I would highly reccomend if you go to bring your own food such as lettuce, carrots, greens. The food they sell is pellet form and the animals will stick their noses up at it and search out the good cars. Go in the morning by the early afternoon the animals are all in the shade hanging out. Good luck

Kim O'Connor

The animals seem very well treated, it was very pleasant and the animators answered our questions nicely. The site is very clean and he lion's den is amazing!

Allen Joshua

Such a good place to be in summer.

Emad Pola

Most of the wild animals are not there and we was there at 5:00 pm

Christina Michael

Nice place but overpriced. Especially given that the water slides were under construction. Limited access to all themes. Quite expensive.

Danny Boulais

The safari animals were great. Lots of entertainment while driving amongst them. Terrific views from the elevated site seeing platforms for all the other animals. The water park is geared towards a young crowd. Very much a good outing.

Jenna

We had an amazing time here! The water parks here were so much fun and the slides were very enjoyable. They have nice baby pools as well as wave pools for others. Sprinklers and splash pads. The walking tour of the animals was nice. Plenty of seats and picnic benches around the areas. Wagons, electric scooter and more ready for rental for the day. Could use more bathroom locations and stall, line ups start around 2pm for the bathroom (women) the men's seemed fine.

Isabelle V

So we loved our day....but it didn't involved the animal as much as the water park and other games. Don't get me wrong : we had fun doing the car safari and watching the lions. But it seems like there were less animals this year and some section of the park are closing so early. The pool area is really fun, with different water experience for kids of different ages, lots of lounger and plenty of drink options. So get there as early as you can in the morning to make the most of both world, in will be well worth it.

G GREENWOOD

Always fun. And the kids are always tired.

Martin Parent

My kids loved the Safari parc

Guillaume Militello

Safari is fun, prepare to queue (a lot) in the car. Bring some celery and carrots for the animals to come close to your car. Decent number of species among the whole parc, fun water activities for the kids. Everything is expensive and I just found one fountain in the whole parc but you can bring your own food and stuff.

Michael Salesse

Very nice place to go with kids!

truckermoffo

Really good day. The animals were very active probably because of the cooler weather. Staff was amazing, very friendly. Great promos too

Patrick Lac

Very nice but part of the water park is closed.

Eric Astleford

I used to love this park, but it really has gone downhill and I'm certain it has a lot to do with the park visitors. They have had to put extra safety precautions for the really good animals (because people get out of their cars after being told NOT to). It felt like I paid $100 to be stuck in a traffic jam. The most entertaining thing was watching Canadians get out of their car and hoping a wild animal will attack them. Can't say I'll be back, which is a shame. This used to be a premier attraction.

Luis Amador Jimenez

Nice mixed water park and zoo with safari ride (your own car or tall military trucks), ride is 40 mins and you can see 5 or 6 main types of animals. Water park has infants pool and adults pools with waves, right now some attractions under renovation, if you buy online they will give you free tickets to come back, if you buy at the door they won’t.

Th dricks

It was amazing to have animals walking in between cars and you can actually feed them there is no fear no need to worry about any animal attacking your car or fighting you they are so tame

Mike is Smart

The drive through is fun when the animals are out and eating so go early or they will be full and sleeping in the shade. We were not impressed at all with the waterpark staff. My 3yo went down the waterslide while another kid was climbing up the slide and the lifeguard didn't say or do anything. He just sat there staring. He wouldn't of even known what to do if there was an actual problem. At the splash pool there was like 1 lifeguard for the whole pool. On the little slide there were big kids going up and down the slide while little 3 to 5yo were waiting in line and I had to say something to them. Let's just say watch your kids as the lifeguards are very unmotivated! Not saying they are all like that but the 3 or so I had contact with shouldn't be employed as lifeguards. Oh and the paveuni along the kids slides were all giving away and separating leaving a big crack that my daughter got her foot stuck in. Let just say that the park needs the renovation that it's going through. Hopefully they will pay more attention to safety.

Tamie White

We really had a fabulous time there. Can't wait for the add-ons to be completed. Strongly recommend for a fun family day.

nick brutaru

Five stars for the animals (we loved it) but overall experience needs more customer service and more services in English.

Christopher Calado

Great parc. Just wish there was more variety of animals. Water Parc for kids and soon for adults is great!

Milad Ibrahim

Lots of fun! The water park is great!

Alia Yousif

Fun day at Parc Safari! Friendly staff and animals seem to be well taken care of.

Jessica Williams

It's a great place for young children. Lots of play areas and parent aren't charged extra to let the kids play.

Anne Dumoulin

Never add a chance to go but my son and is family whent last week-en

Michelle Guillemette

Still a great place to take your kids on a hot day

Jessica Iafigliola

Great place to take your kids. the car safari is really fun but remember to bring your own carrots and lettuce. The larger animals seemed to enjoy that more than the food you get from the park. The park is a good size and their are lots of things to see. You also get to enjoy the water park and lazy river (you pay 2$ extra per person for this). Enjoy!

Julio Pomares

Its all a lie,the parc is on construction,there is only one pool working,everything else isnt working,and they charge it the hole price,dont waste your money,time and gas on it.They show on tv that everything is working and is not.Go somewhere else...

Samuel Fortin

Doesn't feel like a happy place. People are rude and don't respect animals while the staff does nothing to prevent abuse

Gabrielle Wolfe

It was great other then all the construction.

Ting-Ming Chen

I bought season pass this year. My family had a lot of fun looking and feeding animals. The aqua park is awesome.

Kashmala Khan

I think it’s an amazing place it has an amazing zoo and kids I know love the animals. Also it has a swimming area Which is good for hot days and it’s a great place for birthdays play dates family trips etc.in other words I love this place and if you are planning a little trip with your family I recommend going to Park Safari!!!

Page Turners

Amazing experience! You're able to buy lettuce and pellets from the park and feed and pet the wonderful animals. The zoo you find inside is nearly as fantastic.

Barry L

Great place for the family, nice zoo, bouncy castle play area, and takes about a full day to see everything

eric Gervais

It was great but we didnt see a rhino and for the second straight year going the park was still being renovated and the water was frozen

Jean Osmar

Great place for kids. The season passport is valuable.

Bobbi-jo Moynan

Animals look like they need more water and food half the water parks was close under construction small for the price we pay I would have rather went to the Granby zoo you get more for your money at least

Christine Rafter

Was not good. Alot of things were closed

Prin B

I rarely post reviews because I don't care enough to bother, but my goodness was our day absolutely awful at Parc Safari. We got there at 11 and waited until 12:53 to actually get into the park. By the time everybody makes it through the unbelievable wait to get into the park, everybody is impatient, kids are screaming crying all around you because they've had enough... It's just awful. And it stayed awful. You could tell every kid in that place was done right from the start and their parents too. Staff is incredibly unhelpful, from the ~10 year old boy employee at the entrance who said a map was in the magazine he gave us, when it wasn't and apparently, he was the ONLY source for maps, to the 12 year old girl employee who begrudgingly answered questions about the animals to the other 10 year old boy employee who pointed us in the direction of the bathroom, which was locked. The only bathroom we found that was open was by the water park and there was a line out the door on the women's side. The toilets are from 1970 too, with misfit lids on them that barely flush. Not one thing about this experience was pleasant. People were so frustrated about the traffic to get in that they honked all through the safari part, clearly spooking the animals. Nobody followed the rules about what to feed the animals and nobody cares. The staff certainly doesn't. We saw a woman throw something that looked like garbage at the elephants through the fence right beside a staff member and the staff member said nothing and just drove on by. People were feeding carrots left and right in spite of the signs everywhere saying not to feed carrots. Employees didn't care about that either. The staff and setup of Parc Safari sets the tone for angry, selfish visitors and it's truly an awful waste of money. The staff doesn't care and it's obvious. And on top of that, a lot of the animals look bored, pacing on trodden paths that they've obviously paced upon for months, with very little actual habitat enrichment or space. We won't be going back ever again, in spite of not being able to see everything because of how much time we wasted in line to get in. Truly awful. I thought it was going to be a fun day of showing my kids elephants and whatnot, but Parc Safari actually made me feel like the world is a worse place. I mean, who throws garbage at an elephant?! COME ON.

Alfredo Cardenas

Wonderful and unbelievable place to go with your family and friends, to share with beautiful animals

Jacques Abecassis

Came here with my son. Amazing experience. First time I’ve been. Watch out because the camels will eat your entire box of food from your hand.

Good and nice place, the zoo have wide range of animals, they still working on it and expanding it, the water park still under construction and isn't complete, the main pool in service tho... hope they keep working on it in order to expanding it and make it bigger...

I love the fact that you can drive through the Safari and turn on the radio station. It was great being able to learn about animals that are not native to our area. So much to see...The gift shop, is FABULOUS!!! I could spend all day there! Gluten Free options at the restaurants.

Amazing place to spend the day with the family. Kids loved the animals, the water park & the play area. Wish the parking lots were a bit bigger though...

Elio Ricci

Great summer day with my kid. On very hot days don’t forget water bottles and lots of it. Very pleasant and lots of things to see. My only complaint was not enough time to see everything. So plan ahead and go early ...

Usually very nice place but they ruined our stay. Construction everywhere, closed sections, dirty water. Honestly I didn't expected that. I've been there couple of years ago and was so beautiful place but not anymore. And the line to get in....O my... Crazy. We were there 15 min before opening hours and waited for 40 min to get in. We were served from a kid or at least looked like a kid with zero knowledge. Very disappointing

Nice activity to do with kids all ages. Less crowded than Granby Zoo and less pricey. Don't feed the animals with carrots as ask from the place.

Chris and Sally Finnson

Pretty dissapointed.... Hardly can be called a safari when most animals are caged. And it was fairly expensive considering a few of the attractions were closed and the reptile section was very sparsely populated. Unfortunately for me as well not all staff were bilingual.

Egor Dodon

Time to enter the park is about 1h30min. Cannot be worse than that !!!

The place should make larger living environments for the animals it seems very small for all the animals. The gift shop gets five stars friendly staff ,high quality to mid quality gifts at great prices. The animals really should have much more space.

Ryan Perry

This is the best zoo we have ever been too!!!

Corey Macdonald

The park is nice however the parking spaces are VERY small and don't allow people to open doors very wide when taking anything out for kids. Even getting the kids out became an issue to not hit the door next to mine. The passages are narrow so its not very stroller friendly. All that being said, the park is nice its just not well designed for medium/larger families.

Josh Sas

Park shows as being open on both their website and google...we show up driving 1 hour to get there and park is closed! Must have been 40 people waiting and no one was there. Called the administration and they said sorry we are closed...I said why not inform people and they said I guess we should...hmmm won’t go back!

Tony Loftis

Went with a two-year-old who was both scared and excited to feed the animals. The big cat park is fun. The youngster also had a great time in the water park.

Abyssius Murkraken

Full of animals and a great water park.

Christian Muzzio

My wife and I had a wonderful time with my cousins who were visiting from Chile and had never been to anything like this. It was also my son Carter's first time seeing any wild animals up close (20 month old). The park is amazing and the people great! Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Nancy Nashed

When we went, half the parc was closed for construction. We had no way of knowing this when we purchased our tickets on Tuango.

You can walk alot. There was a lot of different paths to take to go around to see the animals. I suggest doing the guided Safari at the end of the day. You may get lucky, and get a lot more time seing the animals. Bring lettuce, and green vegetables you'll save some money. Instead of buying the food from over there.

Michele De Wever

Very nice activity to do with the whole family. Nice that you can drive through the park to feed the animals and afterwards you walk to see others. The park is very clean.

Larissa Zajdler

3.5 * Less animals at the safari drive than years ago but still fun. Would reccomend packing a lunch over the restaurants, food was not good and picnic area very accessible and big. Had a great day overall.

lyzette mary

U will love it. It worth trying

Yassine Boumiza

This is fun place for family out plan, especially the ride in the car attraction

Tanya Kochubey

Animals cages are so small specially the lions and all animals looks sad and unhealthy .I've been to park safari many times and they have done absolutely nothing to the zoo inside , you would think after all these years they would make the enclosures bigger and add something to them . They look exactly the same , same little pool for the bears to go in , the enclosures are way too small , they have over 4 grizzly bears sharing the space of a small condo The wolfs have no space to run, you can see them pawing at the cage , the hyenas pace back and forth jumping on the cages , the tigers just walk back and forth in the their small cage , its absolutely disgusting to see such living conditions for these beautiful creatures . At this point they should close the zoo and just keep the safari minus the poor lonely elephant in his little enclosure .The animals walking around freely is the only thing that's pleasurable to see . The pool and safari is great , the rest should be shut down . I will not be coming back there anymore .

Nicolas Haw Fan Lun

Food was very good. Have a lot of animals to see.

The Dude

Great experience with family today. So much to do but got almost everything in. Walked through the feline's tunnels, over the monkey walkway, around the five continents animal farm, feed the deer on the trail, had some lunch and then took a dip in the Mombassa wading pool. Whew! Then took a ride around the safari to see & feed alot of different animals finishing with a walk out on the Afrika Terrace. We missed a couple of areas due time limitations or closures because of construction. Younger staff working here that maybe not always the most friendly but at least present when you need them. My advice - come as early as you can, bring lots of veggies (lettuce, apples, bananas) and bring some cash.

Nasim Sedaghat

Very fun driving through all the animals and feed them...be careful with the rules but otherwise it's so fun.. The animals are very friendly and they come to you.. there are many of them.. It takes about 1 hour to see all the ones in the driving section and about 2 for the walking section

Shark week Lavoie

Even though they re s alot of renovations, excavation etc.. the site is clean very friendly and amazing for kids

Candace Reid

It was a great day BUT with paying full price for a park that had many things closed it wasn't worth the money

ALIZA MAHMOOD

My all family love this place We visited today and had alot of fun

Pat Mercier

great for kids, has a great water park now too. we spent just as much time in the park than with the animals. bring cash!!! if you are doing the safari if you want to buy the dry food.

Deanna Saliba

Really great park with a lot of interesting exhibits and experiences but under construction right now. Can't wait to come back next year and see it in full swing.

mykola tymchenko

Nice and fun place,whit agua park

Zanny Fang

Our kids loved the zoo! The car ride with free animals was fantastic but i wish there was more animal kinds tho...

Amy W

What an amazing experience seeing felines up close and feeding deers, camels and giraffes. Don’t forget to bring lettuce!

Daniel Black

We got in essentially free of charge thanks to some generous friends. Well worth it!
