Drive-Thru Safari: Animals on Your Windshield
At Parc Safari, your adventure starts behind the wheel. The Safari Adventure Trail lets you drive your own car through vast open habitats where over 300 animals roam freely. Expect zebras, ostriches, elk, bison, and even camels to stroll right up to your window!

Once the drive is done, the fun is just getting started. Parc Safari offers a variety of walkable zones, including:
- The Lion Tunnel: Walk through a glass tunnel as lions lounge above you.
