A drive through this 600-acre park will take you past over 500 different animal species.

You'll feel like you're in Jurassic Park as animals roam freely around you.

The drive takes you through African, Asian, and North American animal habitats. The entire trip in total takes about 1 and a half hours to complete.

The non-profit park is dedicated to conservation, education, and animals in wide open spaces.

The park is also home to a world-renowned cheetah breeding program. The center is one of the top cheetah research facilities in the world.

If you feel like getting up close and personal with the animals, there are a number of enrichment encounters available at the park.

One of the most popular encounters is the Elephant Pet & Feed Enrichment.

The Safari Village Cafe is the perfect place to end your adventure. This restaurant serves a variety of tasty burgers, fries, ice cream, and more!
