I think the adults had just as much or even more fun than the kids. Courtney, the owner was a sweetheart. She was personable,, detailed, and you can tell she love what she did. The Safari starts off with the deers and it moves up to llamas and moves up to some of the bigger animals. It was such a great experience. Lots of screams and laughter. There are enough animals for the young ones to enjoy and feed. We are definitely going back. It is a great activity for family and friends with a wide age range that would enjoy it! I am located in Plano so it is a drive but it would be a great event to do for the day and find some cute little restaurants out there to end the day.

Great memories made that visit.

You will have to buy gloves for the activity so you don't mess up your hands while doing the courses or they also do have them for sale in the entrance for $10 each pair. Upon checking in, 2 people at the front aren't the best at customer service, not welcoming at all. Our instructors tho were amazing and we thankfully got out into a bigger group and we all had a blast. Very shaded activity as well, no need for a hat in my opinion, they also had free lockers.

I was surprised to find such an exciting outdoor adventure spot right on the edge of Dallas. The staff was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. The park features nine aerial adventure courses, each offering different levels of difficulty, making it perfect for all skill levels. Every course was a thrill! We spent three hours tackling as many challenges as we could and completely lost track of time. This is a fantastic destination for families and groups looking for a fun and active outdoor experience. We'll definitely be back!

Also had a game where kids run around trying to push/hit the red/green lights for points. Snack bar and place to have birthday parties.

Short version: Monica is a liar. They charge for every one unless they are 2 weeks old then they…read more"might not". The "manager " can't contact any other managers. You might get stabbed by rusty nails. Long version: We ( my mother, my 2 year old, my 3 month old and I) visited almost 3 weeks ago. The "manager" Monica (short lady , red hair ) charged me for my 3 month old. When I questioned why I was paying for him to enter when he can't play , she asked how old he was. I clarified his age and she reiterated that they charge for babies too because they have an area for them. In that area was a monster truck climbing statue and some climbing blocks. Mind you he can't even sit up on his own let alone climb or crawl. I went back and asked why his age mattered if they charged further everyone. Monica then said "if they are 2 weeks old then we may not charge". It seemed as though she was making up lies as she went. She couldn't give me a receipt. She says she didn't have the contact to any manager. Then she says she was a manager. Just a bunch of bs. My mother stabbed herself on some type of nail or dining in the "newborn place area" . It was just horrific. We said that we'd be contacting the BBB and calling back to shush to an actual manager, as well as contacting someone for the safety concerns. Maybe 20 minutes later she called my phone saying "we heard about the complaint and are issuing a refund " I knew it was her trying to save her job with a hush refund because we hadn't filed a complaint yet. Don't go here

The layout kind of divides the space into 2 areas, one side for the adventure stuff (zip line, etc) and one side for the more tame activities (slides, ball pit, etc). Plenty of stuff for kids of all ages to get into. My only complaint is that the layout makes it difficult to keep an eye on your kids. Also, the teens working the food area were super overwhelmed with the number of orders coming in and it wasn't even really crowded the day we visited. They could definitely use some extra help in the kitchen. Overall, I highly recommend if you've got littles that need to burn off some energy. You'll be rewarded with a quiet ride home and an early bedtime!

They've only been open for less than a year (if…read moreI'm remembering right), and since it's on private property, it doesn't really feel like a zoo at all. You're literally stepping onto a their land and it's immediately clear how loved and well cared for all the animals are. The family who owns it shared stories about each animal--how they were rescued, where they came from, and their personalities. Everything was really clean and well kept, and you can tell a lot of thought went into how the animals live there. Comfort of the animals seem to be top priority. While we were there, staff were in the kitchen cutting up fresh fruit for them. They were able to share education related to each animal and what each requires. They also have a waitlist for abandoned/unwanted animals because so many people trust them for rescuing exotic animals. You can tell they built their whole life around the animals. It's such a unique place, and I can't wait to go back.

When you pull up it's literally just a house with a sign outside with the name on it. When you walk in the place you are hit with an instant animal stench. Not complaining...I mean I get it. To the left was a small souvenir store and the right was an room with a cash register and a table. This room lead into a kitchen where food is prepared for the animals/reptiles. There is also a bird in a cage that lives in there. He is loud and loves attention. Down the hall there is a gender neutral restroom and then the room that holds all the animals/reptiles. The room was small and had many habitats inside. I must say the selection of things to see was awesome! And the presentation of feeding the dragons, lizards, snakes and everything else was totally cool. My three year old loved it!! She was able to help feed and pet many of the reptiles. Just a tip...bring a bug catcher and you could walk away with a walking stick bug! We were bummed when we couldn't take one home. Happy Yelping!
