Reviews of Cherokee Trace Drive-Thru Safari

Had a lot of fun feeding the animals. Some are super eager and will try to put their head in the vehicle. The camel took the entire bag. Lots of fun, lots of laughter. Was a great time with my fiance and her family. The zebras, camels, and cows will eat all the feed if you let them.

Had a blast! You will most definitely need 5 bags of feed for all the animals!! I was on my third and last bag when I needed to start rashening the feed. I hadn’t even gotten to the half way point! WILL go back again!! I will advise to take a car, you will have more of a funnier interaction with them!

It was a fun and exciting adventure for the family. It took us about out an hour and 20 minutes to go through. You will want to purchase extra animal food at the counter. FYI the camels will bite, especially if you have the sack of food in your hand. 😂

What a wonderful place to visit! The animals are all so sweet and clearly know that cars mean that there is food. There were so many different animals to meet. It took about an hour and a half to drive through and enjoy it. If you can, definitely spring for the 50 pound bag of feed!
