Wild Animal Safari - Springfield/Strafford, MIssouri

Feeding the animals was so fun. The tigers were beautiful. The camel stole the grandson's cup. He thought that was funny. Feeding the bison was great.

A bit pricy when you have a car full of people, but still we had a blast with all the animals on the drive through trail. Many cages were empty on the walking trail. There's monkey's in the gift shop but I had no idea how bad monkey's smell until I went in there. So I didn't go near their cute selves.

Omg! This place is amazing! I went with my wife. Coolest part is feeding the animals from giraffes to goats to zebras to camels! Hand feeding them! I’m 40 and so is my wife. Cool for kids or adults. We rode the bus for the tour next time we will drive one of our cars with a sunroof to take killer pictures and videos!
$51 for the two of us with one bag of feed. We bought another bag when we got back to do the walk through hand feeding! Check out this pictures!

My family will definitely be coming back to visit. We came to celebrate my son celebrating his 16th bday cancer free. Ms Patti was so amazing and actually took time to talk to our entire family and explain the care and backgrounds of the animals. We had lots of laughs and made lots of memories!

I would give more stars but we were disappointed after a 4 hour drive to see this very advertised, highly praised park. They talked it up way too much for what was delivered. The trees, ponds, and drive thru the park was pretty, but saw maybe 30 animals (zebra, emus, camels, pigs, Llama, bovine, deer, donkeys) at the most on the drive part. They boys and my husband and I did enjoy the animals that did approach, but we definitely saw more scenery than animals. The price should be per vehicle, not per person for the drive part, in our opinion. $70 plus tax and plus food cost for 3 people was steep for the few animals on the drive. We bought 2 cups of feed and had an entire cup left at the end. Suggestions would be identification signs for what the animals are and maybe some info on them. Also signage encouraging people to move over and not block the road would be good along with mph signs.

We did eat here as well and the food was typical prices and average food.

We didn't see any giraffes or many other animals advertised. Maybe because it was November, maybe spring is better? The large cats were in their enclosures and many building needed repainting/better upkeep.

This place was so worth it. The Buffalo alone made the trip for us. Lots of animals to see and experience both on the drive and in the walk a bout

This was an awesome experience! The bus tour was unique. Clyde stole one of our cups, but that made it a fun memory! Different than a traditional zoo and well worth the cost and drive!

We loved this place! We only did the drive thru section. There were lots of different animals. You can buy bags of food to feed them as you drive thru. The animals come right up to the cars. Some of them even stick their heads in the window.

This place is amazing! We went on a rainy day- however we still had a great time. We got to feed and pet so many different animals- it was such a great experience for my little one. The staff was amazing.so kind and treated my 2 year old so kindly. We also ate at the little cafe and the food was surprisingly good as well! This is a must see if you are in the Springfield area! Thank you for such a great time!

Great place to go with family and friends. I thoroughly enjoyed myself during the safari especially with the amount and types of animals.

This is a great thing to do for people who can't do a lot of love walking around. There were a lot of animals they were very friendly and it was fantastic.

Fun for what it is. Bring wet wipes etc.for when the water buffalo's slime you. Do not touch the monkeys they will pull your finger, and we all know what happens if that's uncle Bob. Plus you will get yelled at.

Took our 2 year old daughter. We all had an absolute blast! Everything was very reasonably priced from admission.which was free for us because we went during a holiday weekend and we are both military and got in for free, to feed for the animals.which was a big cup, which doubled as a souvenire, was half the price it would have been anywhere else, to over all experience which was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and all seemed like the genuinely wanted to be there. The animals seemed very happy, and well taken care of! Would go again in a heartbeat. We loved the safari! Our daughters got to interact and feed animals she never would have gotten the chance to at any other zoo!

We drove up from Springfield Saturday to go but when we arrived at 5 pm we were told we could only do the walk about and there wasn't time for the drive thru. I was told it takes an hour and a half from the young lady working the counter. Although their website says the last ticket is sold 1 hr before close.we drove over 30 minutes to get there and unfortunately with gas prices it's too expensive for us to drive back. I cant imagine why a business would turn down money but I'm sure we could have made it through a 5 mile drive in under an hour.

We went later in the afternoon, so a lot of the animals were laying down trying to stay out of the heat. If you go in the afternoon, get there no later than five so you have enough time to see everything. I highly recommend buying food for the animals if you go in your own vehicle, because the longhorn cattle wouldn't hardly let you pass if you didn't have food. Such a great experience for adults and kids alike though! We loved the little pigs and deer in the safari part. The goats at the petting zoo portion are highly entertaining with their shenanigans. I personally felt like the enclosures for the caged animals (specifically the tigers and lions) were too small, and that's the reason for the four stars instead of five.

I love this place! We used to visit the one in Pine Mountain, GA monthly and were so excited to see this place on our way to Branson! There was such a variety of animals, it was great. I loved that we could pet and touch so many animals. I never would have thought I would feed and pet a zebra! The tour guide was amazing, the bus ride was awesome and the animals were to die for! I cant wait to come back here. This place was the best part of my 40th birthday!

It was incredible! They are really doing a great job taking care of the animals! Will DEF refer to folks and be going back soon!
