The Virginia Safari Park makes learning fun! Our packages are suitable for all grade levels.

Board a wagon ride led by a knowledgeable guide where students will see and feed bison, deer, elk, llamas and zebras, to name just a few. In addition to the Safari Drive-Thru, students can enjoy the Village Walk-Thru, where they will encounter animals such as king cheetahs, penguins, primates, giraffes, budgies and more.
