Did you know...?
The planet Jupiter is so massive that it sucks in stray meteors and asteroids that pass so that they can't strike the Earth later? It's our personal bodyguard!

JOURNEY INTO
THE WILDERNESS
Load the family into the car and set out on a safari adventure at Arbuckle Wilderness. This scenic drive-thru animal park will give you a close-up of a variety of exotic species. In addition, everyone will enjoy the walk-thru park and petting zoo. This excursion is a great opportunity to be amazed, create memories and laugh at the antics of the animals.
Your journey through the park, with the Arbuckle Mountains as your backdrop, will showcase the expected and the very unexpected. The usual “characters” are here to give you a peek into their day. Keep on the lookout for camels, zebras, bison and ostriches. A little heads-up here: the ostrich and his camel friend are fairly certain you picked up a bucket or two of feed at the gate…and they are coming for it! Have your camera ready because pandemonium is about to ensue. Screams and laughter are guaranteed.
Arbuckle Wilderness has quite an offering of the more unusual animals. Watch for the stunning white tiger, the beautifully marked and elegant giraffe, the watusi cow with its huge, awkward horns, and the rare Przewalski’s Horse. Add in the prehistoric-looking rhino, the mischievous hyena, and the Alpaca with their quirky, but oh-so-cute, grin. This list of possibilities is just getting started.
After your drive, stop at the walk-thru park and petting zoo. Let the kids work off some energy at the moon bounce. Take a gander at the exhibits in the reptile house or go for a pony ride. Everyone should try their hand at the gem-mining exhibit. The walk-thru park opens on Memorial Day weekend and remains open through the summer, weather permitting.
Safari bus tours are available for school and family groups, corporate outings, birthday parties and more. A minimum of 20 guests are required. Take the exotic journey together and up the fun level!
Arbuckle Wilderness is located just off Interstate 35 at exit 51, south of Davis, OK. The park is less than two hours from the DFW Metroplex and about an hour south of Oklahoma City. General admission price is $16.99 for adults and $14.99 for children ages 3 to 11. Children under 3 are free. This includes the safari drive-thru and the walkthru area. A military discount with ID and a Senior (over 55) discount are offered.
Viewing the animals up close is spectacular but please remember – animals are unpredictable! Stay inside your car, feed from cups and don’t put your hands in harm’s way. Check out the website for safety guidelines: www. arbucklewildernesspark.com. For additional information, phone
