This attraction offers visitors the option of taking either a car or walk tour of the animal farm. There is an assortment of endangered and non-endangered animals here. Visitors can get up close to the animals. In fact, when I went to take the car tour, I was given the disclaimer speech. I was told that the bison were rambunctious that day. They were known for rubbing their heads and horns on car hoods. One had even tore off an outdoor mirror earlier in the day. Seeing that my car was brand new, I turned down the car tour. I went on the walking tour instead. It was just as much fun and I even fed the llamas.
There’s a gift shop and an aquarium on site, also. The location is rather isolated making for a great park area.
