Once we did get up there the girl taking entrance fees was very friendly and advised they were not offering the Jeep rentals because of the virus so you were taking a risk to drive a nice car through. That took ONE HOUR! We just sat and occasionally moved a foot or two. There was no way to exit until you got to the paying gate. We pulled in and you see immediately “in line” and are stuck. We were in Huntsville for the weekend and our driving through the mountains and saw this in google. We had no idea what we were getting into here. Maybe one day we will be back in the area and the reptile exhibits will be available. Overall this is a great experience with more variety of animals than a petting zoo. We got stuck for a little bit by a large bull who was drinking water but eventually he got bored and moved. You are entering the main enclosure and are subject to what the animals are wanting to do. The giraffe, camel and tortoise seemed isolated in small pens. The cons- as some have pointed out the conditions of the enclosures we saw aren’t the best. Kids love activities like this and ours definitely did. Went through twice after wanting a refill on the bucket. We escaped relatively unharmed, minus the zebra that was chewing on our door handle? Now who can say they’ve had that happen? We’ve only seen something like this in Canada (Parc Omega) so we found this fun. We didn’t ask about car rentals due to COVID, but we did know the risk of using our car. It was only open for drive through due to COVID.
We found it and decided to check it out with an 8 and 6 year old and a baby. The park was good and the experience for our Granddaughter was well worth the trip and the admission price.This experience has positive and negative aspects. but they will follow you around the park. If you don’t want to feed them, simply roll up your window - they’ll go away. They’re quite aggressive and we had one deer try to put his front feet up into the driver’s window but we pushed him away. The animals, especially the Emus & deer want al the food you’ll give them. There were lots & lots of pigs & piglets wondering throughout the grounds as well. The owner said she was hoping to reopen it next year. A bit disappointing (to me) was the petting zoo was closed due to Covid. The Zebras were off site while birthing their young. There were lots of deer and Emus, horses, goats, ostriches, peacocks, some lamas, turtles & tortoises, a Chanel, a giraffe, a gator, and probably many more I’ve left off. Needless to say, we went through the park 3 times and got one refill. You could get refills on the same day for an additional $5.00. She had the most fun.EVER! Admission was $11 each and a bucket of food was $10. We took our Granddaughter to her “first ever” safari park - the Harmony Park Safari.
This experience has positive and negative aspects.
