Big Joel's Safari Petting Zoo & Educational Park

ALERT:  HOLIDAY SAFARI WILL BE 

OPEN FRIDAY NOVEMBER 28th,

HOWEVER CLOSED NOVEMBER 29th and 30th,

and DECEMBER 1st

DUE TO WINTER WEATHER AND COLD

Big Joel's Holiday Safari is your chance to visit the park during the Holiday Season! The big change for 2025 is that our holiday Safari will be offered during regular day time hours from 10 - 4:00pm and not in the evening hours as in years past. The park will be decorated for the holiday season and we definitely will be highlighting are more winter hardy animals. Of course during this time of the year not all animal species are available for viewing and some may depend on what the weather is doing, but do not worry there will be plenty of animals around.
