Adventure Awaits At This Drive-Thru Safari Park In Illinois
Have you ever wanted to go on a safari? Are you ready for an adventure like no other in the Prairie State? Aikman Wildlife Adventure is a drive-thru safari park in Illinois that’s perfect for a family-friendly day trip.
Aikman Wildlife Adventure provides a way to educate visitors by giving them an up-close-and-personal look at a variety of exotic animals via a drive-thru safari.
This one-of-a-kind experience in Illinois is enjoyable for both kids and adults alike. Drive along a one-mile path where you can encounter over 100 free-roaming exotic animals.
Throughout the park, there are over 70 species that are native to six continents and over 200 animals in all between the drive-thru experience and the walk-thru portion.
(It's worth noting that the animals at Aikman's were not taken from the wild, but were born and raised in the Midwest region.)
You will also get to see camels, a zedonk, a zebu, Ankole-Watusi, Rocky Mountain elk, peacocks, emus, sheep, turkeys, alpaca, and a whole lot more! It's quite an experience you won't soon forget.
After your drive-thru safari adventure, you also have the option to see additional animals with the walk-thru experience and learn about prehistoric life at the Museum of Prehistoric Life.
