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 where 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.
The usual “characters” are here to give you a peek in to 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. Keep an eye out for the stunning white tiger, the beautifully marked and elegant giraffe, the watusi cow, with its huge, awkward horns, and the Artic Wolf. Add in the prehistoriclooking rhino, the mischievous hyena, and the alpaca with their quirky, but oh-so-cute, grin.
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. The walk-thru park is open Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting.
Safari bus tours are available for groups of 20 or more, reservations required. Take the exotic journey together and up the fun level!
