African Safari Wildlife Park

Pros: Hilarious fun, good view of "wild" animals
Cons: As zoos go, this one seems a bit cruel. It also SMELLS rather strong.

African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton is something of a drive-thru Zoo...plus, there are pig races. Warning: do not go to this park with a new car, or without a kid along. The car will get dirty (at least-keep reading) and you'll feel like an ...

Two children, 6 and 3, two adults, and grandma. We had a two-hour drive ("Are we there yet?!"), but enjoyed the drive-through experience once there.

The day was sunny and temps balmy. A coupon available on-line saved us the dollars we then invested in many cups of food pellets and cello bags of carrots. Our admission allowed repeated trips through the area and we drove the circuit three times. The size of some animals was intimidating, but none were aggressive beyond their demonstration of knowing where the food was and wanting a share.

We purchased lunch in the park, visited the caged animal display and attended the pig race, which was made enjoyable by the mistress of ceremonies. At another park venue the "pig lady" introduced some smaller animals to her audience. The kids played in the playground and the six year old rode the camel (there was no charge).
