African Safari Wildlife Park Description
Take a drive through this sprawling park and get up close and personal with animals native to the African savannah. The animals (giraffes, zebras, water buffalo, and more) are used to being fed by park visitors, so they'll lumber right up and introduce themselves. (Unroll the window if you'd like to scratch a moose's nose.) Kids of all ages will delight in the petting zoo's pony and camel rides. After you've brushed yourself off and washed up, head to the Safari Grill for lunch and dessert (the hand-dipped ice cream is a show-stopper).

Kid Tips
Toddlers & Pre-K: They'll love the petting zoo -- be sure to grab a picture of the pony ride.
Pre-Teens & Teens: Even hard-to-impress older kids will have to admit that having a giraffe stick its nose in your car is pretty exciting.
Planning Notes
- Animals will put their heads in the car. If you don't want such a personal encounter, keep your windows up.
- Miss something? Go around again. It's ok to take another turn if once wasn't enough.
- It's open rain or shine. A little rain won't spoil your driving tour, but may put a damper on the petting zoo.
