This place is great. My sons are 7 & 9 and we had a great day there. The lions were sleeping but there are plenty of others to see during the driving part. The best part of the day was visiting the giraffes in the walking part. You walk up to the giraffe's face level, buy a cracker for $2 and the giraffes eat them right out of your hands. This was amazing!!!! I've never seen that anywhere. The monkeys are fun. There is a splash area so if its hot, bring suits for the kids. Unlike many attractions, this one did not seem to try to rip you off while you were in there. Food and water was reasonably priced as were souveniers. It is a great day trip from anywhere in South Florida

We went in August of 07 with a 2.5 year old and 10 month old. Under 3 was free so the price was right. The Safari was like other drive through safaris I have been on. The kids liked it (including the baby.)

The park was good too. There were rides that even the baby could go on like the merry go round and elephant ride. The sprinkler area was a great refresher on a hot day for the kids. Then we got to go up close to the giraffe which the kids also loved.

It was really enjoyable and not too long for a hot hot day. We spent about 4.5 hours there (including the safari). It was easy to navigate around and do everything. The park has a layout that you don't miss anything. It was a lot of fun and highly recommended for people with little kids.

I can't praise this place enough. Our party was 2 adults and 2 kids, boy 6 yrs and girl 8 years. The place is huge! We got there when it opened and stayed until it closed and still didn't have a chance to see everything in the park. Although I probably wouldn't recommend it for solo adults, there is something for everyone in a family with young children. My favorite was feeding the giraffes, my boyfriend enjoyed the lory feeding station so much that we had to keep returning there. The kids loved everything! Some of the nice things about this attraction follows. First, it was relatively inexpensive and most activities inside are included in the admission price. You have to pay a little extra for the animal food and a couple of coin operated play areas but that's it- so you don't get nickled and dimed to death all day long! Secondly, there is a water park inside where everyone can cool off during the hottest part of the day. And, families can really save money buy bringing their own lunch in coolers, a very nice little picnic area is conveniently located right near the parking lot. Also, we found that the attractions were not overcrowded at all. We never had to stand in line anywhere! The only thing I can think of that would make it much better is if the boat trip attraction was much longer. It was very interesting but probably only about 15 minutes long so it feels incomplete. They really have everything here: a drive thru zoo, animal shows, exhibits, water park, rides, games, paddleboats, regular boats, nature, and a petting zoo. I would definitely rate it an A+++.

Visited Lion Country Safari over a holiday weekend-it was wonderful. The lions were a little second-hand looking, but my suspicion is that the heat was bothering them. There was a very irate ostrich pecking the vehicle in front of us, it was actually amusing, (not for the car ahead of us, I imagine) and we caught it on film. Took many amazing photos, the only thing I wasn't impressed with was the rather dirty restauant/cafeteria. messy and flies everywhere. Would go again, though, in a heartbeat!
