About North Texas Safari Park

North Texas Safari Park features both drive-through and walk-through safari experiences where visitors observe and interact with exotic animals from around the world. The drive-through section allows guests to remain in their vehicles while observing creatures at 5 mph. Walk-through areas include a giraffe feeding zone, Texas Down Under, a petting zoo, sloth encounters with animals named Lacey and Otis, and opportunities to feed llamas, alpacas, camels, and nilgai. Guided animal encounters lasting twenty minutes accommodate up to six people and include the popular Ringtail Lemur Encounter and Capybara Encounter, where visitors feed and pet the animals. Birthday parties with private guided tours and exclusive animal interactions are available for groups up to forty people. The park suits families with children ages five and up, though general admission is required alongside any encounter tickets. Located in Bonham, Texas, about an hour north of Dallas, North Texas Safari Park charges admission, with children ages two and under free with a paying adult, according to northtexassafariparks.com.
