These negative reviews are bonkers. This was an amazing experience. The animals were clean and healthy looking. African may be pushing it but the deer and llamas are fun, cute, and friendly. We saw bison, zebras, giraffes...etc. I don't know about you but I'm not up to seeing wild, vicious cats roaming around. My 8 month old son giggled his... More

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. It is always wonderful to hear of the fun times our customers have while visiting us. We do, however, ask that you not bring in your own food to feed the animals. Most of them are on special diets formulaed especially for their species. We look forward to... More

This place is a joke when it comes to treating animals properly and even further advertising properly. The pictures of this are false. The zebras and giraffes do no come up to your car they reach there heads over and through cages. I counted 4 African animals in the safari out of 8 so I wouldn't much call it African... More

Unlike some of the negative comments that I have seen, I must say it was an enjoyable time for us. We had twelve people loaded into an extended SUV and we were pleased with the price. As soon as we arrived, the girl at the gate saved us $20 by figuring out the best rate for our group. She could... More

Some of the employees take there golf carts and force the animals away from the vehicles. They hit the animals with the carts at time and have no skill to know how to work with them. On the other hand some employees gracefully move the animals away in a respectful way. The animals were great the service was awful, after... More

We visited on 5/26/13 around 2PM and were quite disappointed. There were 4 people in our car. The regular price of $80 was reduced to $40 because we have a Cleveland Zoo membership. We paid $9 for 3 additional cups of animal food (only 1 cup is included). Unfortunately, they let too many cars in. Cars were backed up along... More

Visited this attraction over Memorial Day weekend. Arrived early in the day and most of the animals approached the car. We had a coupon from a local attraction book which was good for up to eight people in a car. It is best if you can go through in a car or van that allows you to roll the windows... More

Make sure you get a coupon. Always advertised specials. This was a lot of fun. It is not everyday you get "wild" animals walking up to your car. As with everything, it is what you make it! Enjoy and have fun!!

I love animals, so I decided to stop at the "African Safari" the other day while in the Port Clinton Area. I had read the web site and was a bit skeptical, but I figured since I was so close I'd give it a try. I had no coupon, so I got slammed for the full 15.95 price. That didn't... More

There are always specials to get into this park for less. Check out the internet. Last year (2012) we bought a family season pass for $40.00 If you have a zoo membership elsewhere you can also get a break on the price. They don't have a huge variety of animals but it is a fun to feed the animals up... More
