Lake Tobias Wildlife Park

Lake Tobias Wildlife Park is a family-owned wildlife destination in central Pennsylvania built around a 150-acre safari area of rolling hills, pastures, and woodlands. More than 500 animals roam the safari fields, representing wildlife from six continents. Guided tours travel in open-air cruisers, giving visitors elevated views of animals such as bison, water buffalo, yak, eland, and watusi as they move through the landscape. The safari format is the park's defining feature, offering a different experience from a conventional zoo circuit.

The visit extends beyond the safari with zoo exhibits, a petting zoo, a Reptiles & Exotics building, and the J.R. Tobias Museum and Education Center. Visitors can explore additional animal habitats and learn about wildlife through educational presentations and exhibits, while the petting zoo provides opportunities for hands-on interaction with selected animals. Lake Tobias suits travelers who want a full-day wildlife outing that combines a guided safari with traditional zoo viewing and interactive animal experiences, particularly those interested in seeing large herds and exotic species in an open outdoor setting.
