Lion Country Safari

We took Sawyer to Lion Country Safari today. I wasn't expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. They had a little bit of everything there: a drive through safari, a walk through safari, a small water park, tons of rides for kids, a petting zoo, an area to feed giraffes, paddle boats, miniature golf, animal demonstrations, a maze, camp grounds. You name it, they had it.

Sawyer had blast riding through the drive through safari. We got to see a wide range of animals in the wildlife preserve, including rhinos and zebras that walked in front of our car. We had one animal come right up to the driver's side window and press his nose up against it. We felt like we were in Jurassic Park. It's incredible how close we were able to get.

Here we are taking an ice cream break. It was 94 degrees out, but with the humidity, it felt more like 100.

Next stop, the water park area.

They had a ton of rides there, including a carousel, a ferris wheel, a flying elephant ride, trains, cars. However, we ran out of time so we weren't able to go on them. It'll be the first thing we do next time we're there! At least Sawyer got to test out some of the "little" rides.
