Then, come face-to-face with orangutans and test your strength in a tug of war with a Bengal tiger, all in Jungala - the only jungle in the world that plays with you.

my wife and I bought the fun card. definitely stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites next door. allday dining plan is a great deal Visit the Zambia smokehouse the Brisket is so good. chick fil a is aslo a must eat. best ride the all new Iron Gwazi. rode it twice what a fun ride, dont miss the Tigris crazy fun. SheiKra is an awesome ride as well and dont miss the classic Scorpion. wanna get wet then the Congo River Rapids is the ride to go on. the best thing I did was go to Lory Landing and buy a cup of Nectar and see the Lorikeets. they land on you and eat the nectar from the cup so much fun. Lorikeets are brightly colored birds in the Parrot family lots of great animal to see here elephants, tigers, kangaroos, flamingos, rhinos to name a few. ride the Serengeti Express Train and ride around the entire park.

We did the ultimate VIP tour on opening weekend. With this you get a customized 7 hour VIP tour, You get preferred parking ($35-50 variable value) Front of the line access to all houses, front of the line access to all rides, a one-time front of the line pass to Iron Gawzi since it's still new. If you want to do the same house over and over or the same rides over and over that's your choice the guides will do that since it's customizable. You also get a free interactive Skull lanyard that lights up and does fog ($35 value) and a free yard cup that you can put alcoholic beverages in that is allowed to go in haunted houses that you can wear around your neck. ($17 value) these are included with your ultimate VIP tour ticket. You also get unlimited drinks at select areas and at the fiends show, such as water, soda, beer seltzer alcohol, and signature drinks. Complimentary spicy popcorn bags and sun chips. I was very pleased with our experience. Our guides, Michael and Jessica were awesome. They were very knowledgeable about all aspects of the park! We started the night at the lounge for small snacks and drinks. At 7, we went to Dragonfire Grill for dinner and the Rolling Bones. They did covers of classic songs like Ghostbusters and The Devil Went Down to Georgia. The show was pretty good. We could choose between chicken tenders, burgers or Chinese. The burgers were really good. Afterwards, we started walking through the houses and exploring the park. The houses were amazing. They were very immersive and very well put together. There was a stand still in one of the houses but Michael tried to get the issue fixed. Unfortunately, the other times we tried to go back, there was still a stand still. It didn't put a damper on our night. I really liked the 50/50 show. It was really fun. The Fiends was ok. The jokes were pretty adult in nature. I really enjoyed the scare-actors. I liked how they were able to interact with you. It's not like that in some other haunts. When it says that nowhere is safe, they mean it. As we were walking out, we passed a guy who was yelling for his wife to hurry up - it turned out he was a chainsaw guy and made my wife jump. The actors were even in the shop messing with people while they shop. We definitely had a better experience here than Halloween Horror Nights. We were able to take our time and enjoy the night, whereas at HHN, we were rushed and pushed through the houses. Our tour guides Michael and Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our night was amazing and always made sure that we were happy and that we were doing what we wanted to do. We will definitely be back.

September is not a good time to visit. Many places were closed because they were preparing for Hallo-Scream. We didn't see many animals and the rides were closed down 3 times due to weather. THE $30 FOR PARKING IS UNREASONABLE! The trams were not running due to weather (yet the tram operators were at the parking lot cleaning their trams). The guy on the train was very entertaining (his name began with a K I believe). Enjoyed the Ice Skating show!

We certainly regret to red about this disappointing visit. If lightning is within 5 miles all outdoor attractions, including children’s rides and the tram, close for the safety of our guest and team members. We apologize for any impact inclement weather had on this visit, we are happy to offer rain check tickets at our Guest Relations should inclement weather cut the day short. We are happy to read you enjoyed Turn It Up! and we hope to see you back soon! -CL
