Exotic Resort Zoo

The Exotic Resort Zoo is home to more than 700 animals representing over 45 species in a free-roaming environment. Visitors can choose between a guided tractor tour, where a dedicated guide shares insights about the animals, or a self-paced drive-through safari in their own vehicle. Both options allow for close encounters as animals frequently approach looking for feed. The park also features a petting zoo and picnic areas for a full day of interaction.

Good to know

What does admission to the Exotic Resort Zoo include?

General admission covers either one guided tractor tour or one drive-through safari in your own vehicle. It also includes access to the petting zoo, caged animal exhibits, and the picnic area. Animal feed is sold separately.

Can I bring my dog to the Exotic Resort Zoo?

No, dogs are not allowed on the property. Because the zoo's free-roaming animals view dogs as natural predators, this restriction applies to all pets and service animals for the safety of the wildlife.

What happens if it rains during my visit?

The zoo operates rain or shine. In the event of lightning or extreme cold, guided tractor tours may be suspended, but visitors can still choose the drive-through option in their own vehicles.
