![]() Another example: the children were trying feed the birds which they’re placed with turkeys and peacocks. The enclosures didn’t seem like people were monitoring them. goats and deer together, turtles and kangaroos, turkeys and peacocks. The different enclosures didn’t seem like a good environment they were small, wasn’t being taken cared of and the different pairs of animals together seemed strange Ex. ![]() They way the animals were begging for food. The animals for both the driving and walking tour seemed like they weren’t getting feed. We start the walking tour going throughout you can tell/see the animals very sedated and docile and didn’t seem happy. The enclosure was behind a subdivision in Vienna so not that much space for all the animals I just listed above. The zebras were separated from all the other animals. Starting the driving tour there were ostrich, emu, buffalos, alpacas, deer all together in a small enclosure for all those animals to be together. Before we did the driving tour we bought some animal food which was just overpriced carrots and lettuce for $7. I went to zoofari at July 25 with a party of 6. Other less reputable places might get you even closer, but this zoo is legitimate and knowing you’re not supporting unethical practices is important. Plus, I appreciated that they were attentive to what was safe for you and the animals. But, there aren’t many places you can do something like this, and most places that offer encounters charge an arm and a leg, so I do still think it was reasonable. My only quibble would be that I think if you pay for an experience, it’d be nice to have a few tokens so that you can feed the animals in the rest of the zoo-it’s a fair amount of money to pay on top of admission to the zoo. You get to see the handlers engage in some training, learn all about cheetahs, ask questions, take pictures and they will take pictures of you, too. ![]() ![]() Also, while this would be an amazing experience for an older child (I say older because part of what makes it worthwhile is the education, so old enough to appreciate that) I’m a middle aged woman and I adored every minute. Note that you are still behind a fence, and you don’t touch them, so it’s very safe. Seeing these gorgeous creatures close enough to hear them purr and chirp was wonderful. I’m obsessed with cheetahs, so I knew a fair amount going in, but still learned a ton. I highly recommend-the handler was fantastic really nice and super informative. This review is for the cheetah experience. ![]()
