Well Lion Country Safari won’t let you down, they have both. Now a great park for the family should have rides for the children and of course would be nice to have a water park. Of course you can also fee the fish, birds and goats there too. I now understand how they can reach up high to grab leaves off trees in their native habitat. You will be amazed at the length of their tongues. As you will see in our video, they sell leafs of lettuce to feed the Giraffe’s and they will come up to you to eat it out of your hands.

I think for us and the children feeding the giraffes was the highlight. The show is a must and they have 4-6 different shows and presentations daily. We went to the Natures Treasures Show where we not only learned about the animals we saw, and enjoyed them performing. The park offers a number of animal shows for the entire family. You can also enjoy the opportunity to interact with our lories at the Lory Feeding Aviary, our giraffe at the Giraffe Feeding Area, and our sheep or goats at the Petting Zoo. Play a round of miniature golf, tease your brain with a trip through our maze, or take a ride on the carousel, the El Paso Train, or our flying elephant ride.

Bring your bathing suit to cool off in Safari Splash, with 23 interactive water functions (open daily). Enjoy our newest attractions: panning for gems and stones or sliding down the Fun Slide. From Their Websiteīegin your Safari World tour with a boat ride on the Safari Queen, where you will learn about the siamangs and spider monkeys that inhabit the islands of Lake Shanalee or, if you prefer, do your own navigating on the paddleboats. However you can still enjoy the tour of the safari park and it is included in the cost of your admission, so do it if you have the time. Because of safety concerns, and potential damage to ones vehicle, this has changed.

The children will love seeing the animals although they are no longer roaming free in the park as they were in the past. There may be rhinos blocking or crossing the road too. As you drive through the park you will see ostrich’s who might even come up to your window. In the future they will probably be able to do this on your smart phone or in your cars radio. They offer an audio CD which is informative and explains a bit more about the animals you will see on your ride.

Cole was just happy riding in his stroller and watching all the activities.įor those that would choose to drive through park, I would recommend doing that first, unless the wait is too long. She was excited about the water park and the rides too. We knew Lia and Cole were still very young, but Lia couldn’t wait to see the animals. We decided do visit the park first and if time permitted we would ride through the park at the end of the day. On our arrival we opted not to visit the drive through Safari Park this time. Be sure to pack bathing suits, some snacks and plenty of water. The great thing about Lion Country Safari is the many options you for the entire family. We also love to share our videos with the millions of people who have viewed them on YouTube. I of course love to visit these parks all around the world and report on them for our 4 online publications. Our grandchildren, Lia 3 and Cole who hadn’t reached his first birthday were eager to go. Unlike the many other attractions in Florida that could take hours to reach this was only 20 minutes from his Palm Beach Garden. My son, also an IPA freelance photojournalist, lives in Palm Beach Gardens, so the Lion Country Safari park was a short ride from his home. The park is located in West Palm Beach, Florida. In December 2014 we were fortunate to once again have an opportunity to visit the Lion Country Safari. The one that I love to visit when ever I spend time with my son’s family in Florida is the Lion Country Safari. Over the years I have visited many theme and amusement parks including those that feature a safari like experience. 23, 2016 – Originally published January 2015
