Lion Country Safari, Drive-through safari park in West Palm Beach, Florida
Lion Country Safari is a drive-through wildlife park in West Palm Beach where visitors travel by car through seven distinct zones and observe animals in open landscapes. The four-mile route passes through varied habitats, home to zebras, giraffes, lions, and many other species living without visible barriers.
The park opened in 1967 as the first facility in the United States where animals could roam freely without cages across large areas. This founding concept influenced how wildlife parks developed naturalistic habitats throughout North America.
The park maintains research programs focused on chimpanzee social behavior through specialized island systems that replicate natural movement patterns.
You drive your own vehicle through the park following marked routes while observing animals from your car at close range. Stay on designated roads and keep windows closed in certain areas to ensure both your safety and the animals' comfort.
The facility houses over 1000 animals, including lions, giraffes, and zebras, allowing guests to observe them from their cars in naturalistic habitats.
