Looking back at the videos we shot...loved interacting with the animals as you drive through...what place is perfect...the animals seemed happy...and I was too...published several videos http://youtu.be/mlp4HzNmJCE
The price is high and feed is extra, and the place is filthy! Yes they have picnic tables, covered in poop. Gross....
It is so sad to see intelligent animals like monkeys living in really small cages... Please don't support this kind of businesses
I went to Franklin Drive Thru Safari last week. About 4 or 5pm in the afternoon, there goes out some female peacock. So all the male spread their tails. So beautiful. They turn around and round, and sometimes shake their tails. Later, when the time near sunset, peacocks fly to the tree to sleep. At that time, you will have chance to see how peacock fly!!
The animals had dirty water if any water at all. The monkeys looked sad and bored.There was a big trough with baby ducks that had no water to get in, their drinking water was turned over and the one left for them that was not turned over was nearly empty and very dirty. I was very disappointed with all the clutter and left over junk lined up for all to see that should have been put away out of sight!It looked like it was nice when they first opened but gone downhill since.Will not go back or recommend the place.Plus they had an otter with no water for it to get in at all.Linda from Bryan
A small town zoo/drive thru wildlife park. A lot of animals. the drive trails are a little rough and there are no divisions between the animals, so you may see the same animal more than once.
Me and my husband enjoyed this place. I wouldn't say it smells that bad as I read before. I would especially recommend to visit this safari if u've got children. These guys charge if u want to feed animals and it's worth spending couple dollars. Location isn't a best place and it doesn't look like they make enough money to survey animals as they could if the place were more populated. But if u can get here it's gonna be an interesting experience!)
Only a few minutes NW of College Station, it is a great thing to do with family and kids if you are in the area.They have some 400 animals, the majority are your typical farm animals: goats, cows, chicken. But they do have some more interesting animals like zebras, monkeys, wallabys and monkeys. The white buffalo is majestic. Llamas and camels are funny and interesting. The highlight of the trip was the young zebra, she was so friendly and beautiful.
We loved feeding the animals in the car!! Workers were helpful and polite. The premises near the petting zoos were dirty but overall had fun.
The animals were fun to look at and you could pet and feed a few. Admission is high and doesn't include any extras. Charges for feed (which the animals didn't want to eat because they looked to be over fed). Charges for the tram ride. Charges for the "baby house" which claimed to have baby animals you could hold. PROBLEM- four animals, (two of them wanted nothing to do with being held or touched and would try to bite if you got too close) and about 15 people in at a time. No directions or instructions given... in the baby house or anywhere on the facility. Had no idea what some animals were because there were no signs or information anywhere. The staff had very few people skills. Tons of employees but none were helpful or friendly. No bathroom facilities either. Just a single porta potty. I was very disappointed.
