![]() Wild Animal Safari offers several unique experiences that educate, engage and create memorable moments between people and animals. We especially loved feeding the elk bulls and getting an up close picture with them from the window. If you love all things exotic animals, animal encounters are the perfect place to experience and reconnect with the awe of the wild side first hand. 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. ![]() ![]() More than 650 animals, pet and feed section.

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.

Be sure to throw the food away from the car if you dont want the goats to climb on your car and scratch the paint. There were tons of animals out there, and they literally come right up to your window and stick their heads right inside the car! It was hilarious. After a few minutes, we were pleasantly suprised by all of the wild life. We then got in our car and headed out into the 'zoo" section. It was practically empty, and if there were animals, you couldn't or wouldn't want to pet them! So that was a waste of time. ![]() See and feed hundreds of exotic animals at Wild Animal Safari.
