West Midland Safari Park

For our latest adventure Hubby and I went to the West Midlands Safari Park. The first part of the day consisted of us driving through habitats of animals, Jurassic Park style.
Some parts of it, it just felt like driving through fields….we got to feed some deer and other harmless creatures.


Then other parts were on total LOCK DOWN, for the dangerous animals. We had to wait for electrified gates to open, drive through, get locked in, then wait for a second electrified gate to open for us to drive through to where the dangerous animals were kept.

It was cool to drive around and see most of the animals up close. Here’s what we saw on our drive through the Safari:

And my favorite part….the white Lions. They were so CUTE! They kept jumping up and down from their little perch/landing:

And my favorite park was feeding the Giraffes and having it stick its head through our sunroof:

After the drive through safari, there was a little Theme park to go in to….kind of like a Zoo with more carnival type rides and such.
We saw a Sea Lion training show, walked through a dark room where bats flew free around us, went through the reptile house where we saw some hostile Gaters and Crocks, saw some escapee baby Goats, mingled with some meerkats, and walked through Lemur Woods where Lemurs wandered freely around us.
