#Lion country safari ticket price download
You get a link to an audio tour that you can listen to on your phone and I recommend you download it to your phone in advance. We also had a friendly ostrich that tapped on our car window to say hello. Although we visited later in the day, all of the animals were very active and so close to our car! The lions, giraffes, water buffalos were amazing. One of my daughters was on crutches so driving thru was ideal for us. We arrived after 3:30 PM and had the option to buy a discounted ticket for $29 per person for the drive-thru portion. I now have to say that this place is well worth the time and cost. We are from Atlanta, where we have a wonderful zoo and a world-class aquarium that we visit often, so I had always assumed this was just another zoo. We visit the West Palm Beach area often, but had never visited Lion Country Safari until now. The attractions looked fun and they really have something to appeal to kids of all ages and stripes, but, it was frustrating that everything closed so early. On a Sunday, for people like us coming from Miami, 5 o'clock does not work. But, I wish the attractions would have been opened later. The safari was just as wonderful as I imagined, so I'd love to give the place 5 stars. Overall, it cost me $200 for my family for the day. My kids were grossed out and fascinated at the same time. It had been on the lettuce and was no moving around inside the giraffe's mouth, unbeknownst to the giraffe. That was cool, but, at some point it seemed obvious to all of us that the giraffe was also chewing a lizard. The only thing still open at 5 was the "giraffe encounter" where you could pay $5 to get lettuce to feed a giraffe. The big kids reported that the slide was not too scary for the little kids, so we headed there next only to see that even though it was not yet 5, the whole slide and water splashing area was not only shut down but it was closed off and deserted. We split up and were the last ones to feed the birds before they closed the aviary. The little kids wanted to feed the birds and the big kids wanted to go on the big slide. It was nice to have a breeze for a few minutes, but, that was not a good use of our time. And we literally just did one turn around the lake. We took the little boat around the lake- we waited for about 15 minutes for that ride which took less than 5 minutes. It wasn't a lot of time with the attractions. So we got to the park at 2, finished the safari at 3:30 and the attractions are closed, nothing to talk about by 5. We did this on a Sunday and we left Miami around 12:30 (we were 5 ppl and that's early for us!). See, here's the thing: after driving up from Miami for an hour and a half and driving through the safari leisurely, which is the whole point of the day, the attractions close too early. After we drove through we were able to enjoy a few of the other attractions.
The kids really enjoyed the ride through and having all the animals so near by. There were many animals to see and I appreciated that we were able to stop when we wanted to to just watch. We followed along with the narration and it was very helpful (drop boring and confusing, like it didn't necessarily keep up with where we were. That said, the drive-through safari part was wonderful. Just keep that in mind when you are planning your day. Once we got back, we had spent hours in the car. We drove through the safari which also took around an hour and 20 minutes. We drove up from Miami which took around an hour and a half. I loved it then and fast forward almost 40 years, was excited to bring my kids there now.
I remember visiting the Lion country safari when I was in 5th grade in the 1980s.
