Sometimes all we need to add a bit of excitement to an otherwise ordinary day is a bit of time among animals. Animals, after all, just have this natural way of garnering smiles with their antics. This Wildlife Safari Park in Nebraska is predominately a drive-through, although you can get out of your car to view the animals from several overlooks.

Pile the whole family in the car and set the GPS for Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari in Ashland for an unforgettable day among the animals.

The four-mile drive through the animal park allows you to get an up-close view of some of the safari's residents, including bison, bears, and pelicans.

Remember to drive slowly through the park, as you never know who might dart out in front of your vehicle. Some of the animals might pass right by your vehicle, so don't forget your camera.

However, you won't be stuck in your vehicle the whole time. You can get out and explore if you want to, following one of the trails that leads to an overlook.
