Wild Safari

The Wild Safari is the world’s largest drive-thru safari attraction, allowing visitors to drive their car through an African setting where more than 1,200 animals roam. Animals include elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, bears, tigers, kangaroos and more. Please note that this takes about one hour to complete, so be sure to factor it into your day of fun. Visiting Wild Safari in the morning is recommended because the animals are generally more active and visible. Those visiting in the afternoon may find it hard to locate animals who are seeking shade from the afternoon heat.

For an additional $10 fee, guests may opt to ride an air-conditioned tour bus through the Wild Safari, with a guide available to answer questions and point out animals that may be more difficult to spot from one’s car.

The new Wild Safari Exploration Station provides educational and entertaining animal shows, as well as exhibits and plenty of opportunities get up close and touch the animals.

Entertainment

A number of fun performances await guests throughout the park, including shows and street performers. Check the show time information to schedule these entertaining performances into your day. Additionally, the Northern Star Arena provides musical performances throughout the season. Visit the Great Adventure website or Guest Relations at the park for complete details and schedules.

Guests interested in dining with Bugs Bunny can purchase a “Brunch with Bugs” ticket ($18 adults, $15 for children under 54 inches, children one and under are free).
