Regular admission prices are $39 and $30 for a kid 3-9. Much more money than a typical zoo and there is no option to just buy the safari and not the amusement/water park. The amusement park rides are very basic and comparable to what one would find at a county fair midway for kids. Don’t miss the boat ride, which goes around islands of spider monkeys and feeding the giraffes (bunch of lettuce cost $5). There are a several animal exhibits inside the amusement park, so you may want to stop even if you don’t want to ride the rides. Main restaurant serves the normal sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs but it is done buffet style, so you don’t have to wait for the food to be cooked. We were very impressed by the friendliness of the employees, especially on the amusement rides and the food service. Takes about an hour to drive through and you can go through as many times as you wish. All of the rest of the animals can cross the road at anytime. I believe the only two animals on the drive through safari that you can’t really drive through are the lions (separated from the road by fences) and the orangutans (separates by a moat from the road). This safari park is also AZA accredited, which speaks to the quality of the care and the variety of animals you will see. This is probably better for the animals and your car. Unlike other drive through safari parks we have been to, you cannot feed the animals at this one. The admission to the rides and water park are included with the admission to the drive through Safari. Really impressive drive through Safari animal park and as a bonus there is a small amusement/water park that mainly caters to kids 8 and under. We really didn’t mind the wait! We planned ahead to use the coupon on the website to cut down on the costs but for what it is I still think the cost is SO REASONABLE!! An experience you truly can’t get anywhere else. The I assume man in charge was overly kind in making it up to us. We even look forward to eating there! Simple fired food but chicken tenders and fries rival local restaurants! The new splash area always looks so fun! But we seem to always hit on a chilly day and have yet to utilize it! Can’t wait for next year! I will say this time there was a computer error so we had to wait in line to get in a little longer than usual. The park has lots of paved little roads that are easy to get to place to place and are well maintained and clean. The kiddy rides at the park are perfect for toddlers. Every time we go I forget how long and how much you get to see on the Safari drive itself. Pulling over to stop and take pictures while others pass by. The drive through Safari is so easy to see the animals and I love the ride along cd that explains everything to you as you drive through. There’s nothing rushed about the entire experience. The growth the park after the Safari has had is so nice to see. It’s really incredible to bring your children to do something you enjoyed as a child. If you would like to follow up, we are available via email at family brought me as a child a few times, and I LOVED it. The 100 species that call LCS home include a total of almost 1,000 individual animals. We have had a reduced number of chimpanzees out this week due to some necessary medical checks, but the 8 chimpanzees that remain out can be seen climbing around their structures, setting up beds for afternoon naps, and interacting with each other as they always do. We were proud to announce the recent births of two lion cubs, Atlas and Mara, who represent the start of a new pride of lions that can occupy the expanded habitat that was renovated in 2018. Our Southern white rhinoceros, giraffe and zebra herds are some of the largest in human care, including the largest herd of zebra outside of Africa. While it was a difficult decision, it was the right decision to move our elephants to other facilities with more space and more elephants. In the early 2000s, there was a shift within the field of wildlife management to keep elephants in larger herds, simulating the large herds they would form in the wild. We hope you are able to send us an email to discuss your review further, as there as some discrepancies in information here that we would happily clear up, including a change of ownership.
