Lion Country Safari




Lion Country Safari is a drive through safari and park located in western Palm Beach County in Loxahatchee, Florida.  When you first enter the park you are given a CD and map so you can identify the animals along the drive through safari.  Our favorites are the ostriches (which have been known to peck at our car) and the lions (they are usually sleeping, but on a rare occasion you will see them playing together).

After a leisurely drive through the safari, you come to a large lot where you can park and then enter the walk through part of the safari.  Here you can experience many up close and personal animal encounters (try feeding the lory birds or giraffes; both favorites of ours).  You can also take a paddle boat and paddle around the small lake, hop on a pontoon boat for a closer look at the animals around the lake, play mini golf, and ride an assortment of small rides (ferris wheel, flying elephants, train ride, and more).  And of course on those hot Florida days it is always nice to cool down on one of the 2 water slides or the splash park.  Other than the animal feedings, everything is included in the price of admission (but the animal feedings are well worth the extra money so be sure to have some on hand)!
