Adventure Awaits at Our Wildlife Safari Zoo

Lake Tobias Wildlife Park has been providing visitors with the opportunity to see wild animals since 1965. This unique experience encourages guests to widen their understanding of creatures in environments that mimic their natural habitats. Your safari begins once you climb into our open-air cruisers, which provide riders with breathtaking 360-degree views.
Next, you will journey across 150 acres of gorgeous land featuring hills, pastures, and woodlands. Throughout the tour, be on the lookout for the various animals you may encounter. Don’t worry though, our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides will happily point out any animals that might be hiding, as well as share interesting tidbits about the species that call Lake Tobias Wildlife Park home.
To keep the safari running smoothly and limit wait times, we run up to ten tours at a time. That means even our busiest days see a new tour heading out every ten or fifteen minutes, getting you to the fun as quickly as possible.

Say Hello to Our Animals

One of the best parts about our safari zoo in Pennsylvania is all the different animals you may see. More than 400 animals roam the safari fields freely at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. You may meet curious critters that are just as interested in you as you are in them — it is common for animals to approach the tour bus and get close enough for guests to reach out and touch them. Interacting with these animals is sure to be an unforgettable and highly beneficial experience for your party.

Our New Safari Station

Dedicated to providing our guests with the best possible experience, we are happy to introduce our safari station. Built and launched in 2015, the safari station includes the following:

  • A comfortable holding area large enough to fit guests as they wait for their turn to hop aboard the cruiser
  • A snack shop where you can grab a drink, some food for the ride, and even feed to give the animals while on the tour
  • Well-maintained restrooms for your convenience

Things to Keep in Mind for Your Next Safari Tour

To help guests get the most out of their animal safari in Pennsylvania, we encourage all to be mindful of when the tours begin. Rides go out right when the park opens, and guests are welcome to come early to avoid crowds or waiting in long lines. Our tours last around 45 minutes, providing plenty of time to take in the entire tour without tiring out the youngest in your group. The last tour departs our Safari Station one hour before closing.

Please be advised that we do not accept reservations for our tours as they are offered on a first come, first serve basis. However, even if you miss your preferred time, another is coming up shortly!
