I came to the park after viewing their website thinking wow I am in for a treat. I drove 120 miles round trip to get there. Wow what a disappointment. I came over the 4th of July holidays,expecting a lot of people but there were about 5 cars in the parking lot, that should have told me something. I went on a open "trolley" ride, mind you this was a ride with a "TOUR" guide. He was a young kid with as much personality as a wet paper bag. As he was trying to give us facts about the animals and park he spoke so soft and with a " I dont want to be here" attitude that I couldnt understand most of the things he was saying. Other than the lady checking us in, this was the only other staff member I was in contact with and to think I paid $3 for the ride. There were a total of three staff member I saw and upon leaving I didnt even get a "thank you" or "have a nice day", nothing.All in all the animals were the highlight of the park and it was only $10 a person. I guess you get what you pay for.(ha) Next time I want animal interaction I will pay the extra $5 and go to a real zoo when I know I will get my monies worth.

Disappointing. Animals all kept in entirely too small cages. Most looked depressed and were very interested in human interaction due to boredom. Fennic Fox looked blind and scared due to nearby airport and low-flying aircraft. Tigers, both, had entirely too small cages. Birds kept in close proximity and in small cages while the geese, of all things, had the biggest cage out of all the animals, including the cows, horses, giraffe, tigers, and coyotes. Environmental control for animals was incredibly non-existant, and its 260 animals, not species. Im guessing 250 of those are bison and farm animals, at the lowest estimation. In short, this was a horrifying experience and waste of money. Please do no come and support these people.

We started off with VIP tour and Mr Price was excellent tour guide . We loved the small town atmosphere compared to large zoos. Great place for grandparents to take grandchildren . Great place for photos of families . Got great pics of my grands in the magnificent buildings with stone steps . Already have a photo book. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful .Delma and Roger Mitchell and grands ☺

It was fun, but I think $11 is a bit steep for an admission price. The "zoo" part isnt big enough or nice enough to justify that price. Added to that, you have to pay extra for the bison tour, VIP tour, zip line and the bouncy thing if you choose to do one or all of those things.

They do have a lot of different animals at the zoo, but they all look sad and pitiful... Some of the animals dont seem like they are cared for enough. It was very overpriced. And the white buffalo is dead, so if you wanted to go to see the white buffalo, dont.

Lots of animals to see. The facility is clean, but a little overpriced in my opinion. Good for kids. As noted on their website, additional attractions cost extra. Initial admission gets you a general tour of the animal exhibits. Overall I would recommend.

The bird was fun to talk to, he would talk back and the monkey was so cute I wanted to hold him and all the sights are amazing, we loved the bison tour. All in all it was worth the hour and half drive . We really enjoyed this Tupelo Buffalo park

I have been here multiple times with family from out of town and my son currently 10 months old. He loves all the animals. We have been on the VIP tour a few times and have always had a great guide getting us super close to the animals.

The VIP tour alone is worth the trip. Our host & staff were amazing. Everyone was very friendly & knowledgeable, and the facilities were clean. AND the animals ... awesome.

My kids loved the VIP tour, the zebra, American buffalo, water buffalo and Beefalo were highlights for sure. Courteous and professional staff and very kid friendly.

We enjoyed it very much. There is a plaground and bounce thing. Horse tire swings, private areas for parties, and a covered wagon ride.

it does not have that much animals and the zipline was not that fun and it leaves marks on your legs if you do not wear pants

Jessica Dutter

Really enjoyed the park when we were there. Only complaint I have is its a Buffalo park and its extra to see the Buffalo.

Lori Dellerba

Never seen Buffalo up so close on the additional trip we took. Very kind people! Very pleased with our visit!
