My experience was certainly above average...but it was "very good." No fault of the people who worked there - they were all very nice and as helpful as could be. But the overall feel/look of the place is just...missing something.
As i have gotten older, i have realized that keeping wild animals in cages, etc. may not be the best thing for the animal. In fact i know it isn't. There were several animals, the wolves, some of the exotic birds that paced/flew back and forth. These days, everyone knows what that means...the animals are going "crazy." Many of the habitat were large and gave the animals plenty of space. But many were, in my opinion, lacking space and/or natural habitat items/resources. The kangaroos, for example had a good sized enclosure, but it was mostly filled with washed out red, Georgia clay. I guess that resembles Australia...maybe it does.
Anyway - i am torn, like most people, with the desire to see exotic, foreign animals, yet hate seeing them in captivity. I guess i wish this place did/had a little more to make that so.
The safari certainly had large spaces and plenty of room for the animals to roam. My family chose the Camel Experience and we enjoyed that very much. I have a pick up truck and my daughter was able to ride in the back and take pictures and get "snotted" on by some of the animals.
Prices are fine...a little pricey actually. They offer a wide variety of extras and add-ons which can be (a) quite confusing and (b) very expensive. I hope, that if people do purchase these things, that they will funnel some of that money back into the wildlife walk-thru and update some of the habitats/enclosures.
Finally, i feel they have a long way to go to catch up to their growth. The internet went down while we were there, so we couldn't buy a T-shirt. They had an iPad (or some kind of tablet), but it didn't have all of the items on it..The computer running the register did have the item, but that was the part that was having internet problems. It was very confusing. I am not a tech guy, not even close, but it seems that 1 system would be a more efficient way to do things.
I probably won't be back, not because it's a bad place, but for me and my family, its a good "one and done" kinda place. But if you haven't been and you have a good day of weather forecasted, I would recommend going. My daughter is 11 years old and she enjoyed it very much.
