Eureka Springs Safari Park

Eureka Springs Safari Park is a 120-acre wildlife park in the Ozarks built around drive-through viewing and close encounters with animals. Visitors explore the main safari from their own vehicle while bison, deer, elk, antelope, camels, kangaroos, and other animals move through the surrounding habitats. The park also describes a breeding facility focused on rare and endangered species, adding a conservation-oriented element to the wildlife experience.

Beyond the drive-through route, the park offers several walk-through areas that add variety to the visit. Parakeet Paradise is a free-flight aviary where birds can land on visitors' hands, while the petting zoo includes tropical birds, reptiles, prairie dogs, lemurs, and other small mammals. Guided personal safari tours provide another way to explore the property, with opportunities to hand-feed lemurs and birds and meet rescued reptiles. The combination of vehicle-based safari viewing, interactive animal areas, and guided encounters makes the park particularly suited to travelers seeking a participatory wildlife experience rather than a traditional exhibit-based zoo.
