We decided to stop and check this place out while camping in Ravenna OH. The staff here upon arriving in the gift shop were very welcoming and upbeat, as was all the staff including the cleaning crew etc. The day was very rainy but the grounds were very well kept despite the bad weather conditions. The petting zoo while we were waiting for the safari ride was very nice. Peacocks, turkeys, goats donkeys, parrots, pot belly pigs, cows. They sell little ice cream cones with feed for 25 cents. Our van driver Dave was very informative, funny, and polite. He really made the rainy day fun. There are about 7 stops with different animals at each area. The first stop Had so many animals I was so surprised. You really get your moneys worth. for $15.00 my 2 year old nephew had a great time. You can pet and touch all these animals as well. Elk, deer, pigs, cows, water buffalo, bison, ostrich, emu, zebras, large koi fish pond. The driver will instruct you on safety precautions and how to feed the animals. A bucket of feed is included. They also have a gift shop, with many low priced toys clothes and other items. It is definelty worth the drive out here for a fun time with your family good for all ages. Thanks for all the laughs and smiles! I will recommend this attraction.

We had such a great time! My 21 month old grandson had a fabulous time! The most amazing expressions Ive ever seen on him! He didnt know what to think. Every part of the park is very clean. Being used to Northern Virginia prices, I thought it was very reasonable. Under 2 years is free. Adults are $17 (there may be coupons but I didnt have time to search.) You are transported through the park in a safari truck with a direct walkway onto the truck, no steps, everything was ADA friendly. No steps anywhere I can think of - all ramps. Great for grandparents! The animals come right up to the truck for you to give them feed. You can spill it on the floor under the seats - you will get your ankles licked! Or you can hold your hand up high and sprinkle it into their mouths. The driver is very clear on safety behavior. Amazing photos as camels stuck their heads inside to look for more treats! All of the other passengers were so sweet to my grandson as he waived and yelled bye bye as we left each section. I cannot even remember all of the animals we saw! Its amazing how many there are! Loved it and will definitely be back! Special thanks to all of the staff for making it such a great day!!

My four-year old niece and I went and we both enjoyed it thoroughly! The animals are well-cared for by the owners and the staff is friendly. Not scary, animals who come up to the safari truck can be fed either by pouring food into their mouths, holding a bucket for them, or putting food on the floor of the wagon so they can lap it up. My little niece did the latter. The petting zoo is nice, too, with a few different ways of feeding the animals. We especially liked a group of juvenile pot-belly piglets that really relished the petting. Also birds, peacocks, etc. You get one large bucket of food for the ride, then if you want more, its $2 a bucket. Food for petting zoo is available for 25 cents an ice-cream cone full of food. Also a few vending machines that take a quarter in the petting zoo. My niece stayed and stayed playing with a an apparatus that delivers bowls of food to goats on on a protected roof. We were there for two hours. Picnic area and gift shop full of kid stuff.

What a great day for the young grandkids! The varied animals are close enough to touch, feel and smell. It is a unique experience for most kids under 8. Any parent or grandparent who loves giving them a memory will enjoy this. It was as good as Disney for a few hours but just a quick day near Youngstown, Ohio. Seemed a few bucks pricey at first, but these animals need care, feeding and a whole lot more. It was worth it. Criticism - I did get many photos of the animals. Seems there must be a way to get a good family / kids photo with the animals (possibly the young) in a more natural setting. All my photos were through a fence or trying to get a good picture from the Safari wagon. Just a thought but it was a nice day.

The place was nice and appeared well taken care of, although smaller and with less variety of animals than the walk through at Deer Park in Jamestown, but the ride portion was better because we saw, fed, and touched many animals! We went for a kindergarten field trip and the kids LOVED the safari ride portion of the trip! The animals were very interactive with the students during the ride and came up to us to be fed. They all received a large bucket of feed for the ride, which lasted throughout the entire ride easily. The guide was informative about the animals we were coming upon. Children will love this.

The tour guide was very pleasant on the vehicle. I would reccomend this place to anyone who likes animals. There was a variety of animal species there such as alpacas, llamas,buffalo(bison), camels, geese,water buffalo,ostriches, male and female deer,and goats. I traveled with Lenzner tour and travel, and was very impressed on how pleasant everyone was. THE MOTORCOACH WAS EXTREMELY CLEAN, AND BLEW MY EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER. In conclusion, it was AWWWWWWWESOME!!!

This is a nice Animal Park. We enjoyed the tour and feeding the animals on the tour. The one negative we had was that we were traveling from out of state, while driving saw the website on our smart phone, and decided to try it. In this way we missed the website detail about cash only, and were disappointed that the only way they would accept a discount coupon was if it was printed.

A very cool stop. Nothing real huge but a very cool experience with the kids. The bus ride was a very neat experience. I never seen those animals so close prior and to be able to feed them by hand. The whole thing including the petting zoo took about 2 hours. Im glad I took the kids. FYI: cash only.

Baby, toddler, daddy, & mommy loved it! Especially the 10 month old. It was fun and interesting. Recommend getting extra feed for the safari ride. And dont be afraid of the animals. . They just want food too ! Lol. Bring all cash no debit/credit cards..

Lovely way to spend a couple of hours. We loved feeding the animals in the petting zoo area and on the safari. Great experience getting up close to so many creatures, especially the bison. We also enjoyed seeing several regular housecats!

A quick family activity, easy to find. It is amazing how many animals they have, all roaming free together...no cages. You can pet and feed them all. The place is kept so clean, is sooo beautiful. You forget you are in Vienna, Ohio!

Great place for the kiddos. Safari is the highlight. Kids loved the up close and personal interactions. Wont lie, I got a kick out of it too. The petting zoo was not that interesting by comparison, but still worth a look.
