We began offering Drive Thru Zoofari tours in 2020 as a way to provide a safe, fun, and educational trip to the zoo during the COVID 19 pandemic. In response to their great success, we will continue to offer them 2021. In order to operate the Drive Thru Zoofari, we close the zoo to walk thru visitors, and we use the existing roads and pathways within the zoo for guests to drive personal vehicles in the zoo. If you are interested in visiting the zoo as a walk thru, please click on the "Admission Tickets" tab above to find dates and availability.

Audio Tour: An audio tour to accompany Drive Thru tours is available to stream or download. We do not have public WiFi, and cell service can be weak due to our location, so we strongly recommend downloading the audio tracks BEFORE you leave home.

Please know that not every animal can be seen on the tour, and we cannot guarantee what animals will be outdoors and visible at any given time, but highlights include driving thru the deer and elk forests and viewing lions, tigers, the African Plains exhibit, chimpanzees, hyenas, and more!

Please be aware that venues inside the zoo such as rides, retail, restrooms, attractions, and concessions are closed during Drive Thru Zoofari tours.
