The entire drive-through area is a whopping 600 acres, so the park rangers recommended that we spend at least one to one-and-a-half hours inside. Then we headed to the drive-through, which cost US$19.95 per adult - not exactly cheap, but it was definitely worth it! ![]() We spent about 10 to 15 minutes in the Safari Village, which had a little petting zoo area where hungry goats waited to be fed, flamingoes wandered about on a grass patch, and fat snakes lay coiled up behind glass.

The compound has a Safari Village (free entry) as well as a drive-through area that showcased animals from all around the world.
