About
Feed animals from around the world! At the Texas Zoofari Park, you can spend time with our resident animals in several ways. Observe them from your vehicle on the 900 acre safari drive-thru or get up close and personal during a stroll through our 10 acre village walk-thru.
The Park features 900 acres of free roaming habitat, with animals from all over the world! With six miles of road in the safari drive-thru and hundreds of animals to see, it takes two hours to drive the entire safari drive-thru.
Animals eagerly greet guests; many species will come right up to the window of your vehicle.
