What parents say
"We came here for new years and we seen several animals such as those in the pictures that I posted. During the tour they had a nice lady explaining everything thoroughly and an expert along her side as we fed the animals keeping everything safe. The manager was helpful bringing the larger giraffes that are around somewhat 33 years old closer to us and we were able to pet his huge head. On the way out we visited the gift shop with so many different cool stuff. Everyone had a blast and we would love to visit again."

"I am very happy to have visited this place again after 10+years. The private tour is a must. The family boarded the back of a open air covered vehicle for a drive around the acres of free roaming global wildlife. The driver was super knowledgeable providing lots of information about the different species and answering any of our questions. She provided ample time to feed the animals and do the giraffe painting. I am so thankful for the centers flexibility with the weather as there was lightening in the forecast"
