Get up close and personal!

See and feed more than 300 animals from the comfort and safety of your own vehicle at the Midwest’s Original Drive-Thru Safari! It’s a wild adventure you and your family will never forget!

Here are some things you should know while planning your visit:

  • Human and animal safety is our top priority. Please review this page to make sure you and your vehicle are prepared for the Drive-Thru Safari.
  • The Drive-Thru Safari is open rain or shine, but the Giraffe are not visible in the rain or when the air temperature is below 60 degrees.
  • The last vehicle is admitted to the Drive-Thru Safari one hour prior to Park close.

Look to the skies to see a wide variety of wild birds that call our Park home! You may see herons, mallards, bald eagles, Canada geese, killdeer and many more native species on your Safari!

Our Drive-Thru Safari is also home to many species of wildflowers and plants, so be on the lookout for butterflies and pollinators!
