FAQ

See below for answers to the most
frequently asked questions.

Do you offer annual memberships?

Lion Country Safari offers individual annual memberships. At the cost of a bit more than two general admissions, you can receive unlimited visits to the park for a year, 20% off additional guest admissions, 20% off food purchases in our restaurant, 20% discount at our gift shops, free parking, Safari Day Camp discount and 10% discount on our award winning KOA campground daily rates. For more information, click here.

When is the best time to see the animals?

The best time to see the animals is when it is raining. The animals generally love the cooler, wet weather and tend to be more active during this time. If you are not interested in visiting the park during the rain, then we advise you to arrive early any day. Early morning is the second best time to visit as it tends to be a bit cooler and the animals are usually more active then.

Can I bring my own food?

Lion Country Safari welcomes you to bring your favorite foods and dine in our outdoor picnic area located just inside “Safari World” walk-through park. No barbecues, please.

Do you have any discounts available?

Click on the link below, print the coupon, and present it at our ticket booths to receive the discounted admission for each person in your vehicle. Download discount coupon here.

Do you provide donations?

Lion Country Safari is pleased to assist many non-profit charitable organizations with their fundraising efforts. To submit your donation request, click here for detailed instructions.

Can I feed the animals?

Lion Country Safari offers animal feeding exhibits in our walk-through park, “Safari World,” for nominal fees. These include Giraffe Feeding Exhibit, Lory Bird Aviary, Koi Fish Pond, and Petting Zoo. These are the only animals which are available for public feeding, and only the foods purchased at the exhibits are permitted for these animals, since all of our animals are on special diets.

Do you have group rates?

Lion Country Safari offers discounted rates for groups of 10 or more (families, schools, scouts, youth groups, churches, etc… For more information on the specific rates for your group, please click here.

Is Lion Country Safari handicap accessible?

Our facility is handicap accessible. In the drive-through section, you will be in your own vehicle, or in one of our rental vans (if you choose to rent). The walk-through area is either concrete walkways or boardwalks. There are no stairs. Access to our picnic area may involve going over a short grassy area. The petting zoo is served by ramps which are accessible by wheelchair; however, there is a double gate system to keep the animals in, which would require some assistance to the wheelchair person. Also the floor (surface) of the petting zoo is compacted dirt. If we have had rain, the surface softens up and it may be difficult for a wheelchair to maneuver. The animals in the petting zoo sometimes get excited and raise their front legs up onto people.

Is there a hotel nearby?

Adjacent to Lion Country Safari is an award-winning KOA campground where you can awake to the sounds of roaring lions. For information call (561) 793-9797 or reservations at (800) 561-9115. If not looking for this adventurous stay, click here for a list of nearby hotels.

Are there rental cars nearby?

Car rentals are available through Sixt Rent a Car. Click here for Florida locations. Click here for discount offers.

How many animals do you have?

Lion Country Safari is home to over 1000 WILD animals and 95 species including Lions, Giraffe, Zebras, Rhinos, Chimpanzees and much more.

How long does it take to tour the park?

We recommend at least five hours to fully enjoy Lion Country Safari. Allow one and a half hours to drive through the four-mile preserve and at least three and a half hours in the walk-through.

Do I need to check in with a service animal?

Service animals specifically trained to aid a person with a disability are welcome. Please stop into the main office upon arrival so we may alert our wildlife team and walk through staff of a service animal entering the park. While Emotional Support Animals or Comfort Animals are often used as part of a medical treatment plan as therapy animals, they are not considered service animals under the ADA.

Can I take my dog with me in the car?

No, we do not allow pets into the park. We have free kennels (with a refundable $5.00 deposit) available for your use. Please stop in at the office before you go through the ticket booth. We do not know how your pet may react to our animals and how our animals may react to your pet.

Do you have a picnic area at Lion Country Safari?

We have a covered picnic area. Tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We also have a pavilion that is available only by renting it in advance. Contact events@lioncountrysafari.com for more information.

Is there a special charge for the drive through safari only?

One of the great things about Lion Country Safari is that you receive two parks for one price. Although you are welcome to visit only one park, the cost remains the same.

Do you have a restaurant?

Lion Country Safari offers a cafeteria-style restaurant, a Carvel® ice cream stand and a concession stand. For more information, click here.

Yes. Some of the rides you will encounter in our walk-through safari are a toddler train ride, animal carousel, pontoon boat tour, paddle boats, and flying elephant ride.
