The ORIGINAL Ohio Safari Park™

  • Dates, hours, shows, exhibits and rates subject to change without advance notice.
  • Some animals in the Drive-Thru Safari are exhibited in pens. To feed these animals, closely pull your vehicle up to the pen and hold feed cups outside of the car window.  
  • Keep car doors closed at all times and do not exit the vehicle for any reason. 
  • Jeeps and convertibles must have a top and solid doors on to enter the Drive-Thru Safari for your safety. You can unzip or roll down your windows to feed the animals. Window openings cannot be larger than a standard sedan window.
  • Pickup truck beds must be free of loose debris, trash, tools and other unsecured items. For the safety of our animals, we do not allow any loose items in the beds of pickup trucks.
  • Kayak racks are not permitted in the Drive-Thru Safari.
  • Motorcycles are not permitted in the Drive-Thru Safari.
  • We reserve the right to deny any vehicle entry into the Drive-Thru Safari that would not meet the safety standards required to drive through. 
  • Only pet dogs are allowed in Park. While in the Drive-Thru Safari, please keep dogs from interacting (getting “nose-to-nose”) with the animals. In the Walk-Thru Safari, please keep your pet dog on a leash and clean up after them. For animal safety, dogs (including service animals) are not allowed inside interactive exhibits such as Aviary Adventure and Rabbit Row.
  • Do not hang out of your car or allow children to lean out of car windows.
  • Feed only from cups provided by the Park. To feed the animals, hold feed cup far outside of the window and hold the bottom of the cup OR gently toss food out onto the ground. No feeding animals from your hands. Outside food (animal food not provided by the Park) is not permitted.
  • Obey feeding and NO feeding zone signs.
  • Do not pet the animals.
  • Stay in your car in case of an emergency or inclement weather. Honk your car horn if in need of assistance; a Park ranger staff member will be over to assist you.
