Can you think of a better way to spend a lovely day than meeting – and even feeding – an assortment of wild animals at a safari park near Pittsburgh? When you visit Keystone Safari Park, you can take a leisurely drive around the park that’s home to an impressive number of animals, including bison and llamas. If you’re up for more fun after that, head to the walk-thru park.
Pile the whole family in the car for an adventure at Grove City's Keystone Safari, an easy and fun way to socially distance. The drive-thru safari promises an up-close view of such animals as...
Zebras, donkeys, ponies, llamas, deer, cattle, and...that's just the beginning of the animals you'll see. You can even purchase a feed bucket or two (feed buckets are $5 each), but just be prepared for...
Adorable animals like this fella roaming up to your car, planting his chin on your window, and begging for a treat. How can you say no to a face like that?
It's important to feed the animals only with the feed you've purchased from the safari park. Feeding anything else can pose a grave danger to the animals.
You'll have to follow a few rules during your drive through the safari. Don't rush. The speed limit is just two miles an hour, and you have to abide by that rule to help keep the resident animals safe.
Always remain in your vehicle, and stay on the safari road. You'll have the unique opportunity to see, and maybe even feed more than 100 animals. (Keep your pets at home, too, as they're not permitted in the safari park whether you're driving or walking.)
After you've driven through the safari, you can head just a few feet down the road. There, you can explore the walk-thru animal park. It's home to lions, bears, giraffes, and other animals.
Hang out with the animals at Keystone Safari, open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Visitors are not permitted entry after 5:15 p.m.) The season at Keystone Safari runs through October.
