How long are the one-on-one experiences with animals?
Each animal experience has a variable length of time. Holdings last 3-4 minutes.
How long is a regular visit to Sustainable Safari®?
Anywhere from one hour to four hours or all day. The Safari is entirely self-guided; it depends on how much time you spend at each animal exhibit. With dozens of species to view and interact with, plan at least a few hours of your day around the Safari to receive the entire experience. We stamp your hand for easy re-entry. All paid admission includes an all-day pass!
Are capybaras currently available at Sustainable Safari®?
Yes! The capybara is always available to feed, pet, and interact with at Sustainable Safari. Multiple families are rotated from our farm to the Safari.
