Wildlife safari oregon free#
Each time you drive through you are sure to see new animals as they roam free over 600 acres. Wildlife Safari is 600 acres in Winston, Oregon where you drive through at 10 miles an hour and have ostriches peck at your window, have to stop for a herd of zebras, spy at Tibetan Yaks, have a camel spit on your car and watch 2 rhinos descend down a hill for dinner. Sweet! Wildlife Safari was a reciprocating member of our Oakland Zoo membership so tickets were half price…Yes! One ticket allowed you to go through twice…Awesome! Was this going to be the same? Better? Who knows except we knew we were going to pull off the freeway in 100 miles and find out!Īnd so we did…free dog kennels were available. Hmmm…the last time we road tripped/camped through Oregon, we stopped at an amazing Wildlife Preserve where we held baby lions and baby Bengal tigers. As soon as we got back on the freeway, we saw a sign for a Wildlife Safari. After stopping for some lunch we decided we wanted to trek on. Not knowing where we wanted to plant ourselves next, we headed towards Eugene. Our 2 year old was beside himself being able to swim and have snow falling all around. Nestled in a large wooded valley, the park features over 550 animals from around the world.
Wow! There is something incredibly relaxing and amazing about swimming in a spring that is 95 degrees naturally with snow falling all around you. Wildlife Safari opened over 40 years ago, as the only drive-through wild animal park in Oregon. After some beautiful snow hikes and sledding, we relaxed in natural hot springs. Family Travel Tip: Make sure you have wool base layers and socks for your kiddo and family.my personal fave is Smart Wool.)Īfter a couple days we were ready for some warmer temperatures and so we headed off to Belknap Springs where it was in the mid 30’s. We arrived in Bend and it was 1 degree…WHAT?!?! Eeeks! Thankfully it warmed up during the day to the high twenties so we were able to do some snow hiking and sledding fun. Bachelor snow and then see where the wind blew us. We knew we were starting off in Bend to play in the Mt. So we packed our bags, loaded our 3 dogs in the truck and took off for Oregon. So with that goal in mind, we woke up on New Year’s Day and decided that there was no better day to start our goal than January 1st. More family, more friends, more memories! So while that was a very, very pleasant surprise…our Winter Wonderland Plans were derailed however, we made one family New Year’s goal: We had plans to make it to the holiday festivities at the Fairmont in San Francisco, the Oakland Zoo Lights and a couple other fun holiday themed events and then there was inclement weather and unexpected family we have not seen in several years that came into town for a week. As most moms know, there is a plan and then the plan changes especially after having kids.
