There’s a hidden gem over in Folsom, and it’s perfect for a family day trip. Just a short drive and you can take a wild safari ride and get up close to exotic animals like zebras, giraffes, kangaroos, and many more. Kids and adults have been enjoying the Global Wildlife Center for years, and if you haven’t already been, it’s time to make some plans.

The Global Wildlife Center is home to over 4,000 exotic and endangered animals from all over the world.
