Feeding the animals at Safari North Wildlife Park is a thrill for any age. While you enjoy your stay at Safari North take a walk on the wild side as you hand feed the white tail deer, or step up high and feed a giraffe from the comforts of our feeding station. Lots of great opportunities for kids to pet and feed the animals.

Never had a chance to milk a cow? Now anyone can come by the milking barn and milk our cow.
