Please drive slow, no more than 8 miles per hour. Also, a brochure with photos naming the animals you will encounter during the drive. Upon entering you are given the choice of tape or CD which will guide you through the park. It has grown and improved over the years. Lion Country Safari is our area's only drive-through safari and 2 parks in one. Not sure if it was the parking issue or the disappointed son, but this was definitely not a great visit for us.

After that point, he was ready to go.and we had basically flushed $60 down the drain. The son we hoped would be interested started asking when he'd see the elephant(s).and.we got to the old elephant area and it no longer housed elephants. This didn't start things off well, and it went downhill from there. And, frankly, I wasn't very happy that they would even think about charging for parking.when you're not parking. Two supervisors later, the parking fee was waived.but they weren't very happy about it. I explained we had no interest in the amusement park in the 100+ degree weather and were only going to be driving through and therefore there was no reason to pay for parking. Got there and was shocked to see that they had built-in a $6 'parking' fee for a drive through safari! I complained and was told that this was a mandatory fee because they include admission to a small amusement park now as part of the safari admission fee. It's a decent haul (20 minutes) from I-95. First off, my wife and I forgot just how far this place is off the highway. One of my sons is really into animals and we thought he would really enjoy a visit to Lion Country this year. I took the family to Lion Country - it was my second visit (my last visit was in 2008).
