Awesome place to go with family and friends! Lots of animals to see and even feed a few! After the nice relaxing drive around you can even park and see more animals! Staff was very friendly! Some of the staff even stayed next to the animals and said a few facts and were always making sure you enjoyed it! Definitely recommend going to this place!

We had a wonderful time at the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon! We drove down from Portland for a little two day getaway and this was our main activity! I would definitely recommend for people of all ages and especially for families! Allow 3-4 hours for the full experience, drive thru and walk thru are both worth the time! There’s also special encounters you can pay extra to do which would be super fun with older kids! There’s even a play structure geared towards older kids which is great for getting the wiggles out! We saw so many cool animals and my 2 year old absolutely loved it (and was a little nervous about the big birds haha 😂). It’s fun for all ages!

A must go if you are in the area. The prices are good and you have to do the encounters. Very kid friendly. During the drive through safari, get the animal feed to feed the deer and birds. Your kiddos will go crazy. The cafe is small and the food is pretty basic but if your kids aren't too picky then you'll be fine. Buy your tickets online and call customer service to book the encounters beforehand to save time. We went on a weekend and there was no wait.

The Wildlife Safari is located in Winston, Oregon. You can pay to go through the drive through to see bears, bison, elephants, giraffes, and many other animals, but if you plan to go through the drive through a couple more times it is best to buy a membership for $120 annually. You can go through the drive through as many times as you would like the entire year. You can add a person onto the membership, so you could also just go in on a membership with a family member or a friend. You can walk through and look at many other animals for free, with donations kindly accepted. There is a small playground for children, a cafeteria/ restaurant, many different species of animals to look at as well as a petting zoo area.

We had such a great time! The village has so many animals to see, a petting zoo for the kiddos where they can feed goats and other animals and pan for gems. We did the lion encounter, which allowed us to see them up close with their keeper. We also did the tiger and the hippo art encouter, which was my favorite part of the whole visit. We got to bring the art home with us. We also did the open truck safari ride, which I recommend if you have a large group. The safari drive has feeding posts that are not accessible in the open truck ride. Their restaurant has good grill food; burgers (veggie burgers too), chicken strips, sandwiches, chili, mac and cheese, and salads, too. Ice cream for dessert, and they even have self labeled beer! Something for everyone. It's definitely worth the drive for a wonderful day spent.

I love this place. Went with my granddaughters. They had a blast. They loved feeding the animals. The ostriches and deer came straight up to my car. The bears are my favorite. They seemed so relaxed laying in the shade. The leopards and cheetahs were nice to see. We saw them eating their dinner. The walk in part of the park was very nice. We walked around and saw several animals there. We loved the babies. I would highly recommend this place. It is a great place to stop while on vacation or if you just want to have a special day.

Lovely place to visit with kids to see the animals, my 6 years old kid enjoyed the whole safari a lot seeing the animals roaming around in around our car and in the designated areas. They have almost all the animals from reptiles, mammals, domestic and wild animals. You can leisurely drive around the place, it can take up to 2 hours to go through the round, in the entrance you can also walk through the trials to see few reptiles, they have train ride for kids, café is available, lots of parking spaces available. Go in the morning to avoid crowds and spend more time.

I have been visiting Wildlife Safari for the past 35+ years (about every 4-5 years we make a trip down). It's a wonderful experience, and a treat to see so many animals- some up close! Some things have changed over the years. For example, the lions used to roam free to the point they had to open a gate to let each car in and out. Now they're contained behind fences. I'm guessing it's an insurance requirement (which says more for society than anything). It's still a great place to visit. The day we were there this time was pretty hot. The rhinos were hiding in the shade near the top of the hill, but other than that, pretty much all of the other critters were out and about. We didn't do the train or camel ride this time, but have in the past (and enjoyed both). All in all, Wildlife Safari is absolutely worth a trip- granted it's no Loro Parque, but is educational, charming, and enjoyable in it's own way. Yes, we will absolutely be back in a couple years.

This was my first time going. There was enough parking for today’s crowd, but it didn’t seem very big. It was a nice drive to see some animals. I was expecting to see more, but it is summer & hot. I appreciated they had little outhouses towards the beginning & vending machines. But I’d bring your own sanitizer. Because there wasn’t any out of the two. We saw maybe half of the animals. We couldn’t tell if they were just hiding out in the shade or what. At one point you can feed some animals & purchase a cup of food for $5 each. The restaurant isn’t anything special. You can see the Lemurs outside the windows, which is fun! I was a little sad the train was down for maintenance, but oh well. You can enter the area with the gift shop/restaurant for free There’s a little playground outside. Goat & sheep to feed. Bringing quarters for that is good to keep in mind because get the food from a little machine that only takes quarters. All in all a cool place to go to see some animals for a few hours. Maybe just don’t expect to see every animal 😌

Drove through with family, it was a lot of fun. You must stay in your vehicle at all times. We bought some food in cups to feed the animals through our windows. We had enough time pause in our car and take pictures along the way. There's souvenirs available at the end, highly recommend as a family stop!

Wow wow wow, This was such a great experience. We last minute got tickets for this safari on our way up to Portland and it was 100% worth it. There was a slight drilling so it was am interesting experience. Many of the animals were out cuddled up with each other. We spent around 2 hours here. Not many cars on the trail. Be careful feeding the emus... food go everywhere haha. This is a must stop !

This experience was amazing!!! We saw so many animals up close and happy in their environment. Bonus was seeing a 15 minute old deer and watching an emu give birth. Our entire party was incredibly happy with this experience and still talking about it days later. Enjoyed walking around the barn and seeing other animals after the drive through. Highly recommend.

Tons of family fun. Lots of animals to see, plenty of activities in the village. Playground, petting zoo, camel rides, train rides, Photo Booth. snacks, gift shop. Everything extra cost extra. Place is affordable for the most part and about average. Lots of more intimate options for interacting with animals for a cost. Arrived at 2pm and many animals were napping already. You could see them; just laying down. Earlier arrival time would be best we assumed. Village layout is a little confusing and viewing window glass had major glare. We will be back.

Very fun. Could only be reasonably improved with clearer signage. Staff is friendly. Park is clean. It is not charge per car but per person which is a bit ridiculous. I do recommend going.

Beautiful sunny day that wasn't too cold so we could enjoy the animals with the windows down. Went in the afternoon of a weekday, so very light traffic & the animals were all out & playful. This preserve is spectacular & massive with so many animals from all over the world. Today's favorite was the young grizzly bear playing & running. Also, two Emos fighting over the feed cup LOL. Make sure to bring at least $5 cash so you can feed some of the animals. This place is a must see & I'll be going back at least once a year!

10/10, 5-Stars, Two enthusiastic thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼 If you have even a couple minutes to stop in...do it! Not only is it one of the coolest experiences to drive through, but the conservation work this place does is incredibly important. Talking to the park employees and seeing the animal friendly enclosures...it's clear to see that this organization truly cares about their animal friends. There's also the opportunity to ride a camel and feed goats, deer, and Emu's all from the palm of your hand. As if that wasn't enough, the park cafe has some of the best hot wings and beer you could ask for. Crunchy wings with fall-off-the-bone meat. Hot sauce in small containers to add as you see fit. And beer that was cool, refreshing, AND able to be carried around the park in paper cups while you watch the lemurs play.

Is it expensive? Yeah, a little. Worth it though? Yeah, definitely. We arrived a little before 9AM and it seemed the animals were out, getting fed, and roaming around pretty good. I would use the restroom break on the driving safari, even if you don't need to. My wife almost wet herself, and we got chastised by teenagers for going too fast, and then were immediately passed by them. My main gripe with the whole thing. The main gift shop/petting zoo/restaurant area also was very entertaining with different animals to see up close. I would STRONGLY recommend a picnic, unless you want frozen oven baked fries, and small burgers made by teenagers for $13. Staff was nice, everyone waving, and happy to there. My 3 year old enjoyed it (when her attention span allowed) and was squealing at all the exotic animals we got to see. It's much better than a zoo, but the bears and elephants looked a little sad tbh. As a wildlife photographer I had a blast! Closest thing to an African safari I'll ever see probably. The elephant experience and maybe the bear one looked interesting, but I'll tell ya, there was a 10 ft difference between the Red Panda feeding being free or expensive. I say check it out overall.

I've been going to Wildlife Safari since I was around 7 or 8 yrs old. It's an amazing experience that left a lasting impression on me and my desire to work with animals. The reason I'm giving it two stars is because of the way management treats people who want to give their time and effort to the place, for free nonetheless. I'm doing everything I can to gain experience with animals, and the way I'm blatantly ignored has made me lose a lotta respect for this place. Animals are still worth the price of admission. However, expect nothing more than below average help when you wanna follow a passion of working with animals. Answer to response from Wildlife Safari: It's ridiculous I had to come on to Google to write a bad review for you to finally contact me and let me know about my volunteer application. Be better towards people that show a genuine interest in wanting to be apart of your team.

I strongly recommend coming here, it's an amazing place. Not only is there a lot to see and do everyone is very friendly there. There is so much to do from mining for treasures, riding a camel, seeing all kinds of wildlife and much more. The wildlife are so amazing to see there.

Great little set up. Lots of great things to see. My advice is don't let the guy behind you rush you through. Tell him/her to go around and race to the finish on their own time. You only get the one trip through and it's not by the car but the passengers inside so take your time and really enjoy the presentation. I love the fact that they are doing this the right way and not like some nasty places that try to make money off the poor animals.

A day trip to our planet! This is not a zoo, but this is an awesome educational experience for all. I am not a big wildlife or animal buff, but this experience changed my mind. The village is an awesome place to see animals up close for free. Some amenities like the camel rides and train rides are not free. The camels were $10, and the train was $5 per person. Make sure you bring cash as they have feeding opportunities for the aviary area with the budgees. After we left the village, we went through the drive-through park (must purchase tickets to go into park; I recommend Groupon for the tickets) to see all the different animals around the planet. Some were sleeping, but we were able to see many of the animals, especially the giraffes. Towards the end, you are able yo feed some animals. Be careful of the ostriches or emus as the peck the feed out of your hand. The cup of food costs $5 prior to the feeding area. Overall, I love this place and will consider coming back in the future! My kids enjoyed it and was the most enjoyable experience (without my 5 kids fighting in the backseat) I have ever had.

What a cool experience. I'm glad we drove a tiny bit out of the way to experience this park. Very affordable and family-friendly. My teenage daughter loved it...(zero eye-rolls) just smiles and happy squeals.

Fun! If you love animals, you will really enjoy Wildlife Safari. Interacting with food in a certain section was an extra treat. However, buy your tickets online and save about 40%. Discounting is not honored at the gate. Highly recommend this to all animal lovers.

My sisters and I LOVE this place!! We go whenever we need a break from the daily grind, and it never disappoints. Book your tickets through groupon to get a better deal!! Seriously, it will save you a ton. We have been here in the winter, fall, summer, and spring and can honestly say it has been fun each time. If you go when it's under 50 degrees, the giraffes won't be out, but there is still plenty to see. I recommend getting there right after it opens to avoid the crowds. Go once around the drive thru part, come back, and go through the walk about section. Hang onto your ticket and go around a second time! Just tell them it's your second time through, and they will take your ticket. It is so worth it! Don't hurry through the drive thru part, as you never know what you will see. Take along some quarters to feed the sheep & goats! Super fun place for adults and children alike.

I had a close cheetah encounter. She was majestic up close. The staff was very friendly and clearly had a close bond with the animals. Fun to spot other animals along the safari!

4.6 STARTS?! IT DESERVES 10! Its a shame you can only do 5 stars. It was and is an extremely clean and family oriented environment. The best part, is that you can tell the animals are cared for and happy. And if it isn't, you can see what they go through to make them happy! Thank you to the Wildlife Safari for such a great experience, and good job!

Always a wonderful experience. Staff is so friendly. Animals are so well cared for. Facilities are always clean. There are lots of opportunities for encounters from $1 to feed the birds to more expensive traditional encounters. Bring some spare paper cash and at least a couple dollars in quarters, and if you can budget even $20-$40 for a bigger experience, schedule that as soon as you arrive.

A great place for people young and old. The kids we're super excited each time we spotted a new animal on the drive through, and the adults felt a child like anticipation. The walk through village offered an educational experience with different animals to see and interact with and the chance to see some creatures very up close and personal.

What a very enjoyable experience. A great way to get away from every day life and what is going on in the world today. An easy way to get out and enjoy and social distance with out being stressed. This place is a little gem for those who love wildlife and the great outdoors. So many animals to enjoy. You can take your time driving through. No hurry. There is plenty of room for those who don't like to stop and look to pass by. They do have a little pull off with vending machines and porta potties and you can get out and stretch your legs and just look around and enjoy the view. It is well kept, staff/employees in every look out tower watching! All the staff/employees were very friendly and smiled with their eyes and waved. The gift shop was nice and had plenty to choose from. The area you are able to walk around and enjoy the animals. Plenty for children to do. Don't be in a hurry. Don't forget snacks and drinks so you can just enjoy the drive.

This is an amazing place. To start we walk inside the village. In the village there are flamingos, Egyptian Goose, a cheetah with a dog as her best friend. There is an island of lemurs. We saved the best for last which is a self drive tour through the roaming area. We saw elephants, bears, giraffes, wildebeest, rhinos, elk, deer, water foals, cranes and a hippo. Great place!!!

Very good experience. The staff are super nice and my kids love seeing the animals move freely.

Fun adventure for the whole family. Very clean, great staff.

SO MUCH FUN! Such an awesome experience and unique animal encounters if you're interested :) would definitely recommend!

Such a great place to bring the family!

Had great experience.

We loved the safari! My two- and one-year olds loved it too, and weren't bored even though they'd already been in the van for over an hour just to get there. It was a cool, overcast day, and we saw all the animals really well. I've heard hot, sunny days are the worst for viewing the animals, and I believe that. The feed cups for the deer and emu are $5 a cup, which seems really expensive. We bought one and split it, and that seemed sufficient for us. All in all, this is a must-experience destination and I recommend it to everyone.

Wonderful

Loved it so much and only wish we'd got there earlier in the day to experience more of the safari village! The drive through was huge, so many animals roaming free - it was really quite spectacular to see such great care for all creatures. The bears were my favourite, also loved the feeding area where we had fun giving snacks to the deer and emus (one of them stole our cup and got chased around by his mate, we were laughing for ages). We ended our tour with a sticker for the van and a little peek at the cheetah. I'd definitely recommend this safari for all ages, stay for the whole day and enjoy it!

Took family that had never been.They loved it! It was just as I remembered as a young adult. There were plenty of animals to make our road trip worth while. Got to see bears, tigers and cheetahs. They were all out. Brought our own drinks and ate before we arrived.

This was quite amazing to do. We were pressed for time, but with your admission you can go around a couple of times on the drive. Plus the walk through area is included. That is where you can do the camel ride and train. It was nice they honored both a Veteran discount and triple A discount. Will definitely go back again 😀

We always love to come here. Its a great outing for the family any time, but its especially great right now because you are either in your car or outside. We will definitely be back in a month or two. Grab cheaper tickets on Groupon.

We have been going here every year since we had our first daughter. We love it. It is so fun being able to drive through and see so many beautiful animals so close and not in cages. We also love being able to run around and see the animals inside as well. The playground is also a nice plus to help use up energy before our trip home.

Always great took grand kids this trip for there first time!! It never disappoints

Amazing

I loved Wildlife Safari. Being able to drive through an entire zoo is way more comfortable for me, and just as cool as a regular zoo, if not more so. We had a heard of bison (with their baby bison) pass over the road right in front of us. A giraffe walked right by my window and in front of my car. And we also got to feed deer/birds right from our window, they were so friendly and adorable- that was definitely my favorite aspect!

This place is awesome.

Visited in April; One of the best safaris I ever visited, felt animals were interactive and have more freedom

It was really fun

☆I had not been to Wildlife Safari in many years & we took my 6 year old daughter to the Winston location as it's one of her favorite places to go. The outing was fun, and besides my daughter's excitement, her mother & I both enjoyed the visit, yet there are a couple areas that could be improved on. Our main observation was that certain animal habitats seemed to be purposely difficult to see within unless you paid extra cash $$ to be on a tour that featured a safari vehicle & special access. I was disappointed by that, feeling a little deprived of the full experience. I did notice that many animals had a look of sadness, mainly the carnivores. This could be just a coincidence with my observation purely speculative in nature. I must say, overall, it was a good day & we were able to see a lot of animals & most importantly, my 6 year old daughter had a good time, ince even saying it was as if she were in a dream. *we will go again with the hopes of having even greater success seeing the wide variety of animals at Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon.

Did the holiday light show night show. Got an unexpected up close rhino encounter and saw more of the cheetahs than usual. The special glasses on sale weren't the standard rainbow ones they have holographic shapes. I ended up with giraffes and my daughter got snowflakes. Really did make some things 3D. I included a picture of the rhinos, they seemed a lot more interested in the cars than when we have gone during the day.

Seeing the animals roaming more free was amazing. It is so much better than zoos where the enclosures are much smaller. Also, the Safari Grill is amazing; best onion rings I've ever had

Had a great time even got to feed some of the animals. I like that you can take your time driving through. Makes it easy to get some great pictures.

Always super fun! Even with the pandemic it's a fun place to be. Get there early since each pass can do two drive thrus go early in the morning and then again in the afternoon and you'll get different views! Also the walk through village is free!

Beautiful 600-acre animal refuge! I love that animals can roam free. Would definitely recommend this place for sure! They are also the largest cheetah breeder in the world.

Great place for a fun family adventure! Was able to get in right when it opened so it allowed for plenty of time to stop and gawk at whatever animals you wanted. I wasn't able to see the hippo or the monkeys but I don't blame that on the farm at all. Animals will do what they want. The emu and crane are so cute...they will approach the car. I was bummed out they didn't have the $5 food cups to feed the animals. Would definitly recommend this place! It takes about 2 hours to drive through the whole safari!!

It's a very nice place but most of the animals don't look at you. About 80% look the other way with you looking at their butts at silly as that sounds. Other than that, it's a great place.

We absolutely LOVED it!!! Go early or when it isn't so hot out or the animal's will be in the shade resting. I also recommend you buy your ticket from Groupon they then let you drive through the Safari twice!!! Enjoy your visit it's amazing.

Nice afternoon with the teens! A pleasant and relaxed experience.

Super fun drive-thru zoo. Because the animals are roaming around, you get to see them in a fairly natural environment. In one area, you can feed the animals so they come right up to your car!

We always enjoy a visit here. The animals are well cared for. In the warmer months you can feed some of the grazers and birds from your vehicle.

Grateful

It was pretty cool.

Spent a fun day exploring Wildlife Safari with the grandson during Spring Break. Started in Safari Village with the many exhibits including an up close cheetah and it's dog. Always great to learn about animals and they have lots of trainer talks and informative placards for those wanting more than just a zoo type experience. Finished with the drive through and it was amazing. So many animals roaming free, many within feet of our van. Best part to my grandson was feeding the deer and the birds, lol. Definitely worth the time and the money if you want an up close experience with animals that roam free while you are contained in your vehicle, worth every penny.

The hippopotamus does a really cute thing where it spins its ears like a windmill

Wildlife Safari is such a fun place to go, especially when you’re needing to get out of the house. There are such cool animals (I really like the red pandas) and lots of fun things to do. I definitely recommend going here if you ever find yourself in the area.

Wide assortment of animals and birds to see on this well organized. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms and a nice gift shop. I highly recommend this park.

Great place to take the family!

Its pretty darn cool most of the animals look way happier and healthier then the ones at a zoo so I can give respect for that. Also the animals will come up to your car window and thats really cool.

Always great.. Even in the rain.

So awesome that we drove thru twice!

Had a small series of field trips here for a Wildlife Bio class I was taking at UCC a year or two ago. Not only did we get to learn a ton of interesting info about so many amazing creatures (both up close and personal from their caretakers/handlers, as well as in the cool little theater-auditorium building place that they have tucked away right after you pass the ticket booth upon entering - on your left. Totally non chalant building that I missed the first time or two because you'd think such a large & well kept accommodation would be better advertised for things such as private parties/field trips/etc, , but it is very nice and private and has a giant screen for using projectors/slides/etc and was very helpful and nice to learn about the animals on-screen and write some facts about them before seeing them up close and learning about them, then returning at the end back to the theater to recap what we learned about X animal(s) each day), but we got to do stuff like feed & pet the Elephants after our lesson from their personal handlers, same with the Giraffes, plus get cool caged rides around the park where you can see so many different kinds of animals and what their living conditions were like - many of which basically just roamed free all around (even into the road and around the caged vehicle transport lol) and had sheltered buildings/areas where they could return for comfy living & meals/treatment/enrichment etc, even during bad weather (It is Oregon after all. Thankfully not a part of it that ever really snows or freezes, and if it does its usually thin and short lasting - otherwise I'd be worried about the shelter situations for a few of these wild animals - as not all the animals have large or heated private buildings/living quarters to retreat to, mostly just the larger animals (elephants/giraffes/rhinoceros(?)) and the more dangerous predators of course such as the Lions, which have a somewhat complex living area due to their powerful/dangerous temperaments but still have a very decent sized outdoor fenced in area to roam around and play, as well as a nextdoor slightly smaller fenced in area with more natural cover as well as a nice shelter that I would definitely consider a good replacement for a real den, and various scattered toys/sleeping areas around so they can have pack time as well as independent time when they feel like wandering off to be alone like in the wild.) Our class actually got to enter the first fenced in lion area (with the pack of royal murder cats safely moved to the den/shelter side right before - however there was still just a chain-link fence separating us from them and if you decided to wander too close they would roar with a purpose and even jump up/on the fence suddenly as if to surprise pounce your heartbeat into the next life - which was really freaking cool actually, and thankfully I wasn't the poor student who discovered the surprise- roar- pounce of getting too close to the barrier fence, who ended up leaping backwards butt first into wet mud while screaming 😂 Thanks for the heads up for sure so I didn't have to lose any man-points by being the first to discover that powerfully sudden trick, because I probably would have yelped and collapsed into the mud holding my chest, like a little girl with a heart condition 😂). While in the "leisure" lion encagement, our class split off into groups and first had to find & collect specially marked droppings (nasty but interesting) so we could learn more about their diet/behavior/etc, then we split off into groups again to go find fresh paw prints in the mud and pour a Plaster of Paris mixture i believe into the "best" print we could find, and after they set & hardened we compared the differences between them and actually got to take them home! My groups "best" paw print casting out of any group from class that day is the picture I added along with this lengthy (and nostalgic) review. Unfortunately we didn't have enough plaster to make more so the youngest in our group kept our casting, it was still amazing though!

(Translated by Google) This place is amazing. First, let's take a walk through the village. The village has a flamingo, an Egyptian goose, a cheetah with a dog as best friend. There is an island of lemurs. We left the best for last, this is a self-guided tour of the roaming zone. We saw elephants, bears, giraffes, wildebeest, rhinos, elk, deer, foals, cranes and hippopotamus. Perfect place!!! (Original) Это потрясающее место. Для начала прогуляемся по деревне. В деревне есть фламинго, египетский гусь, гепард с собакой в ​​качестве лучшего друга. Есть остров лемуров. Лучшее мы оставили напоследок, это самостоятельный тур по роуминговой зоне. Мы видели слонов, медведей, жирафов, антилоп гну, носорогов, лосей, оленей, жеребят, журавлей и бегемота. Отличное место!!!

Awesome Place to take your kids. LOVED seeing the giraffes up close and personal

Good place to visit with kids

After the Rhinos I saw nothing of interest. Boring

It was an awesome trip! We got tons of pictures and saw a bunch of amazing animals! Definitely stop and check it out. We were short on time but decided to drive thru anyway. Download Groupon for the coupon. 😉 we paid half the original price for 2 adults. Enjoy!

Amazing. Its a must go at least once a year for me. Or more. Its so exciting evertime.

Very few people there today. It was like having the place to ourselves. Got to see mist of the animals. Didn't get to see bears because they are hibernating.

Made reservations and paid, in November, to take my sisters to have an encounter with the elephants. Spoke with a woman on the phone. She said it was about an hour long and we each get to touch an elephant. The next day we leave about 6am for the long trek to the Safari. About 5 hours into our trip we got a call saying they had to cancel as there was a medical emergency with an elephant. Devastated for the elephant we drove home. During that call I asked if we could hold our reservation instead of getting a refund so when they were able to resume, we could come. Got that call Thursday. I called my sisters, agreed we’d go the next day. I called back, confirmed we would be there Friday (yesterday). During each of those phone calls, it was NEVER COMMUNICATED TO ME THAT THE ENCOUNTER I PAID FOR HAD CHANGED COMPLETELY. It was NOT what I was told. We didn’t get to touch an elephant. It was about 10 minutes of some basic elephant facts, watch an elephant “paint” (they can’t see what they’re painting) for about 10 seconds followed by a sales pitch for incredibly expensive, previously done elephant paintings and a pitch to support conservation. I paid $120 for 15 minutes plus $66 to drive thru the Safari, plus gas (for 2 separate trips 5 hours from my home) and everything else. There were 4 cars stopped to watch and listen to everything we saw and heard...we could have done the same and paid NOTHING EXTRA. I expressed my frustration. Was met with a very curt response and a back turned to me walking back to her office. I did this as a Christmas gift to my sisters. I have cancer. I don’t know how many more things I get to celebrate with them. I was told when I paid for this what we would get. We got basically nothing of what I was told. This place is a SCAM! I waited until today to write this, so I could let my frustration ebb. It has not. I fell for a BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM perpetrated by the Wildlife Safari. This was supposed to be the highlight of my sisters life. We were all so excited. Complete and utter let down. My sister was devastated and I get angrier and angrier about it with every passing second. If they had any decency they would have refunded my money. They don’t have any decency. Waste of money. They shouldn’t be able to do this to people. If they treat people this way, who knows how the animals are really being treated. Go to a zoo. Go to an animal shelter. Go to a farm. DON’T GO TO THE WILDLIFE SAFARI!!!

I absolutely love Wildlife Safari!! My Dad lived in Winston, OR and everytime I came to visit (from Boston) we went there. It is always a different experience. I've been there at different times of the year and it's always great. I did feed an elephant and it was so much fun. Even purchased a flower pot painted by the elephant I had fed. Proceeds went to a pool for the elephants which is absolutely fabulous.

Fun to get out and see a few animals at night....

Always wonderful seeing all the animals ❤

(Translated by Google) Very nice place to take the family (Original) Muy bonito lugar para llevar ala familia

Loved it

A car full of kids, even the adults. It was a great trip.

We bought the annual membership. It was $120. And well worth it. With this basic membership you can being e adults and 3 children all year long unlimited amount of times. This includes free unlimited train rides (Normally $5/person) and discounted camel rides. Theres a few other perks that come with this as well. Another favorite perk of mine is that you can get discounted admission into multiple zoos and aquariums across the United States. Including the Portland Zoo (50% discount) There's always so many cool animals to see everytime we come here.We drove through twice while we were there and saw completely different animals both times. We got an upclose look at the rhinos which was very cool.The flamingos are a favorite of mine to see during the walk through portion and they now have red pandas to see there too. They also have a restaurant on site with pretty good food. Multiple public restrooms and a gift shop.

Such amazing staff!! They just recently held a free tour of their drive through park for the children to help ease the effects of this pandemic!! Such a great heart for their community!! Will definitely be back.

The kids and I had a wonderful time. There was a lot more than we were expecting. We ended up upgrading to an annual pass so we can go back.we were bummed that there were animals hibernating and kept out of the cold/rain but we understand. Something to keep in mind is that there are no talks or camel rides in the off season.

Just wish they had more animals

It's been 42 years

Really good place for kids. They can learn about cheetahs, see a bunch of animals up close, do camel rides and feed the animals

Great place to see some amazing animals up close from the comfort of your car.

Good trip the second time.

Always a fun experience!

Absolutely worth the drive. Im planning my next trip around going here again!

Great anytime, but fantastic during the pandemic. No contact, no hassle. Fantastic.

Amazing
