Located just off I-79 in Grove City, Pennsylvania, Keystone Safari offers a refreshing take on wildlife interaction combined with immersive adventure on 144 sprawling acres. This is no ordinary zoo visit—Keystone Safari’s Combo Admission packages a walk-thru experience and a drive-thru safari that together reveal a spectrum of rare and exotic animals across expansive natural habitats.
Visitors begin their journey on foot, winding through carefully designed enclosures where vibrant macaws flutter overhead and reindeer roam peacefully nearby. The walk-thru area showcases a diverse collection, including Barbary lions, spotted hyenas, and reticulated giraffes, blending both familiar and extraordinary species in settings that feel authentic rather than contrived.
Transitioning to the drive-thru portion, adventurers stay safely in their vehicles, navigating the Safari Road at a respectful 2 MPH. The drive engages guests with open, grassy landscapes where herds of Bactrian camels and dozens of other animals live relatively free. This format offers an intimate, close-up view while ensuring minimal disturbance to the wildlife.
Keystone Safari stands out in the Pennsylvania outdoor recreation scene by providing family-friendly accessibility combined with a strategic mix of walking and driving that appeals across ages. The combination promotes both active engagement and comfort, making it easy to tailor a day here whether seeking a leisurely stroll or the thrill of a hands-on safari drive.
The park also supports responsible wildlife stewardship through strict rules—such as restricting feeding to park-provided options and limiting vehicle types in the drive-thru section—guaranteeing safety and conservation. It’s an ideal spot for animal lovers and outdoor seekers wanting an offbeat adventure close to a major metro area.
