We were making our second visit to the area and enjoyed the drive through part of this so much last time that we decided to make a return visit. Its not nearly as nice as it was then. There seemed to be fewer animals; mostly deer of some sort and llamas, alpacas, etc. Also, they seemed to be doing some... More

Went with my sister and our children. It was neat that we could feed the animals. Didn't like that the buffalo and long horns were trying to rub our vehicles and stick their heads in the window. Also, the animals didn;t look very healthy. Their fur was rubbed off in spots and was very dull. Neat for young kids to... More

We laughed, we screamed and had a smile our faces the entire we drove thru the African Safari Wildlife Park. A friend and I decided to take our kids to visit the park in April 2012 during Spring Break. We decided on taking 2 cars so everyone could have a window seat. The kid ranged from kindergarten, 4th grade, 6th... More

We drove 1.5 hours to get here and well, it cost us (family of 4) 72.00....I was thinking the extra fee might be for weekend special shows, but we were dissappointed that the only shows we saw were: one with three animals (and one was a freakin pot belly pig...whoopy) and the other show was a pig race...the pigs were...

By far thee worst thing ever! I had the inlaws over and wanted to impress them with a few things we had in Cleveland and surrounding areas so I decided to take them there, keep in mind I was on my way to the Cleveland zoo. I called the place 3 times and asked them what kind of animals they... More

Stopped by there on our way back from Cedar Point last year. Myself with my 14 year-old daughter and my 11 year-old son. I don't think the three of us have ever laughed together so hard and so much. You can buy food before you go in, we bought some carrots and some of the feed. The animals come right... More

Only the drive through part of the safari was available this weekend. There were lots of alpacas, elk,a few bison, and a long horned steer. The animals swarmed around the cars when you drive through. A large 32 oz cup of food was given to you to share with the animals. If you have more than one person in the... More

We stopped here just out of curiousity on our way up to Put-In-Bay. It was a fun detour and worth the visit. You can do the car safari and see the grounds in 1.5-2 hours. It has the impression of being a family operation, we were there in the fall, but no one was initially at the register when we... More

I rarely complain about anything, but these people were just down-right rude, offensive and made us feel like somehow our patronage was a huge annoyance to them. The lady at the register didn't say hi or acknowledge me in any way, unless you count an angry glare as acknowledgment. I told her we'd like to drive through and was informed... More
