The Wild Animal Park 7621 Lakeport Road, Chittenango, NY 13037

"this was an AWESOME experience. the animals are clearly well cared for, and all looked incredibly healthy and happy. they have several animals that I have never seen before, and I've been to many zoos/animal parks. feeding the animals was the highlight. the drive thru safari directions should be clearer. we asked the gift shop cashier where to go for the safari and she had a lot of trouble understanding what we meant, she kept telling us to buy tickets even though we already had them and didn't know where to go. then the safari guide made us drive all around the building to go back to the entrance where we had been. otherwise an excellent experience that my whole family will always cherish"

"We did the zoo, but not the drive thru safari. We bought 4 cups of food when purchasing tickets to enter and 2 chips for giraffe food (carrots). We very much enjoyed feeding all the goats/kids, llama, alpaca, and giraffes. Family members did buy bird feed and entered the bird area. The birds flocked to them and perched on their arms, shoulders, hands, and head. Some birds did try to bite at freckles/moles on arms, which was not pleasant, but if birds are your thing it's fun I'm sure. Staff was nice and very knowledgeable about animals. Zoo was clean and there's a nice menu for lunch with shaded seating area. When entering, they advised us outside food or drink is prohibited but I asked about water bottles and they said it was fine. I have a 6 year old and 2 year old and both were very entertained for a few hours."

"This place has come along way from the last time I was there years ago. It looks AMAZING. Very fresh and clean, so many exotic animals. Lots of money was put back into it. The displays are well done, has a theme park vibe going on. Great job to the ones responsible. The food was good and not to overpriced (thank you). My family and I will be back again soon!!!!!!"

"This place is amazing. Now that the weather is nicer, they have included so many new animals. They even had anteaters this time. I recommend this zoo 1,000 times over! Especially bring your children. When I went for the first time, my children got to hold a baby kangaroo and had their picture taken with it."
