    My only suggestion would be to maybe do a per car fee rather than per person, it got expensive…read morequick but I also imagine it can be expensive to care for all the animals. This place was so cool. There's literally no signage. It's not really commercialized trying to sell you a bunch of stuff. It's literally drive up, pay, buy food, drive thru and feed the animals. No frills. Just Easy peasy. There were so many animals and they were all very active. There's also a petting barn where you can get out of your car and see goats, birds and lemurs. People are complaining about the long drive thru or not seeing animals? Well it's not a zoo. It's more of a natural habitat for them. And it was awesome. It's worth doing at least once. We will definitely go back. The zebras and giraffes were my favorite. You can also drive thru as many times as you want so keep that in mind when considering the price. And it's not busy or packed at all. You can take your time.

    Well I think it is ridiculous to charge per person for this safari. Come on people! There isn't…read moremuch to do around here and the Safari Park while wonderful, the per person fee is awful. It should be a $20 or $30 per carload! People would be more likely to visit and visit regularly if it were per car. I went with 4 of my friends and we all purchased tickets and food for the animals and it was over $100! I would love for my son and daughter and grandson to visit but there is no way I can afford to pay $100 for something like this, especially on a regular basis. Does anyone else agree with me? Even at Shelby Farms, when they have drive through events, they only charge $20 per car to drive through. Your business is hurting itself and the people that should be able to visit but can't.

    Louisiana Purchase Historic State Park - So beautiful

    The restrooms on-site are outhouses (toilet seat is there, on top of a deep hole to catch your…read morewaste). This is a very beautiful historical park if you enjoy nature and/or like reading about its history. If you're not a history enthusiast or don't remember much about the Louisiana Purchase from your 8th grade history class...then you might find this state park to be boring. This park offers informational spots/posts along the way. When I visited, it was mostly dry so I didn't see any aquatic animals, no snakes, however there were plenty of birds in the trees singing. This park is located a couple minutes from a major highway. It offers a few parking spaces and there is no fee to enter/park.

    This was a stop along a road trip to Dallas. The stop did add about an hour and a half to our…read morejourney. It's about 30 minutes off the highway. When we arrived there was only one other car in the parking area. This was slightly concerning because we appear to be in the middle of nowhere and you just never know the intent of others. As such, I do NOT suggest visiting this place solo. This landmark is a well maintained boardwalk above a swamp. The boardwalk leads you to the focal point of the swamp which is a monument that indicates the initial point from which all surveys of property acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 originated. If you are like me, it's been a long time since I had a history lesson. With that being said, there are several educational exhibits on the boardwalk to allow you to brush up on the Louisiana purchase. I enjoyed walking the boardwalk. It is a short distance to get to the end. I suggest taking your time to be still and listen to the sounds of the swamp. We saw a few birds and frogs along the way The signage indicates that alligators have been spotted in the swamp, but we did not see any during our visit. If you have an opportunity to visit, go for it!
