Safari Zoological Park, Caney

I brought my sons (13 y.o. and 3 y.o.) today and we had such a wonderful time! This was our first visit and we did the VIP package. It was well worth the money and the hour long drive. We got to hold a lot of animals, including a lemur! We were able to bottle feed baby camels and deer, and give animal crackers and bananas to many of the caged animals. You don't wander around on your own like in a big zoo. Instead you travel with a small group and tour guide. This allowed us to see the lions, tigers, bear, and wolves being fed. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals. He helped my 3 year old spray water for the tigers (who apparently love to get wet)! The animals all appeared well taken care of and happy. There was none of that pacing back and forth with dull eyes that you sometimes see with animals at zoos. These animals were lively and paying attention to their surroundings. The owners are very kind and you can tell they love what they do. The whole experience was much more personalized than any zoo or animal park we've ever been to. We will be returning every summer!

Amazing place to visit. Very nice & knowledgeable people. A lot of exotic animals. Viewing the animals up close is very cool! VIP Experience, is well worth the extra money!!

I enjoyed this more than any regular zoo visit. The owners clearly love their animals and provide excellent care. It is a very interactive experience filled with information for each animal. Splurge and pay for the VIP tour. It is worth every penny.

Love everything about this place. If you want an up close experience with exotic animals, this is the place for you! You can tell Tom (the owner) and his staff greatly love and care for all of these animals. Their animals get a lot of attention and are very spoiled 😊 You will especially love all their big cats and grizzly bear who give kisses to the trainers 😘 and waves to his audience. Definitely go with the VIP packages, well worth the money!!

Fun, informative, very nice staff and tour guides. Lots of animals you get to see close-up. A real gem in an unlikely area...small town USA❤Totally worth the trip and you definitely get your money's worth of enjoyment !
