This Drive-Thru Safari Park In Texas Is Also A Petting Zoo, And Animal Lovers Will Have A Blast
If you have animal lovers in your family (and/or are one yourself), it’s time to plan a trip to Grapeland Safari. One of the best safari parks in Texas, this unique day trip destination doubles as a petting zoo, so you can feed exotic animals out of the palm of your hand, then snuggle up with adorable goats and other furry friends.
If you're searching for a fun day trip destination the entire family will enjoy, look no further than Grapeland Safari.
In the comfort of your own vehicle, drive at a leisurely pace and get up close and personal with the wildlife. A fair warning: they will descend on your car in droves in hopes of snagging a bite to eat!
After driving through the safari portion of the park, don't forget to check out the petting zoo, which features goats, turtles, and other furry, four-legged friends.
One of the best parts of the entire experience is seeing each animal's unique personality. Goats are known to stand on pretty much anything...in this case, even a turtle!
Have you ever had a bird perch on your arm before? The feathered friends at Grapeland Safari often do exactly that, and you'll cherish the bonding time for many years to come.
