Wild Animal Safari – Strafford is open daily 7 days a week at 10:00 AM. We have extended hours several weekends such as Spring Break, various holidays, and Summer months. Please check the park operating hours calendar when planning your visit. All Drive-Thru Safari guests must enter the park at least 1 hour prior to closing. The park is open every day of the year except for Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day.
The last car is admitted into the Drive-Thru Safari one hour prior to closing. It is strongly recommended that you arrive at the park earlier in the day, so you have enough time to see everything your party wants to see. All guests must leave the park at closing. We recommend 2-4 hours to enjoy the whole park.
Refunds will not be provided under any circumstance for failure to allow enough time to complete both sections of the park before closing time.
You may bring your wheelchair.
Some areas of the Walkabout Adventure Zoo are represented by gravel and natural dirt pathways like you would experience in the wild.
