Yesterday our family had to get out of the house for a while as we were tired of being in the house due to Covid restrictions so we made the 2 hour drive to check out the park. You must bring your small children here and if you take a bus tour, ask if Daniel is driving! He’s extremely knowledgeable, cares about the animals, and is patient while you enjoy the animals and environment! Daniel is the man!Īs a resident of Missouri I had heard of this animal park but never visited. We especially loved feeding the elk bulls and getting an up close picture with them from the window. My husband even had a great time and he tends to get quite impatient with the kind of outings I plan for the kids, but Daniel kept him entertained with hunting conversation. We got an extra long tour and he didn’t rush us at all. When the kids ran out of our 3 feed bags, he shared his bucket with them, and they went right on feeding. He was patient with 3 extremely excited kids who were here and there back and forth on the bus.

Daniel was our bus driver and he really made the trip! My husband and him talked deer hunting on the bus drive, and he knew all the animal names, cool facts, and let us ask him all the questions in the world! He stopped a great deal to let my 3 kids feed every animal they desired, let us get pictures, and even watch the bucks fight for a good deal of time. On the tour, we ended up being the only ones on the bus, my family of 5.

While we waited and the kids ogled over everything in the gift store, the lady at the front gave the kids some left over trunk or treat candy and let them hold and pet one of the piglets she had in the shop. We were the only family, and just a few singles came in and bought the drive through tour. It didn’t take quite an hour for us to see all the walk about animals, but it was also an empty park. My 3 kids: 8, 5, & 2 years adored it! They each got to feed and pet animals. The walk through was great with baby camel and giraffes following us along the fences and all animals eager to accept the food and follow you down the fences. The lady told us to grab one and do the walk through and after that, it’d be perfect timing to take the tour bus through the riding part and take the rest of the bags. Upon arrival, I bought the package deal for 4 bags of food. They were currently waiving the upcharge for using a ticket purchased same day. We took a shot on the safari, and boy are we glad we did!! I called before going because I saw you could buy a family ticket online and save. Wonders of wildlife was requiring masks, so instead of complying, we decided to do something else.

We decided to check out the wild animal safari when we were on a trip visiting Bass Pro in Springfield.
