A modern day Jurassic Park in Davis, OK! Animals swarming your vehicles. Grown men screaming (me). Tons of laughter and fun with the kiddos. If you're looking for an up-close encounter/feeding frenzy with Camels, Donkeys, Ostriches, Emus, Horses, Alpacas, etc, then you have to check this place out. Check out the video from our trip here. It takes a good 45 minutes to complete the drive thru Zoo, so make sure you buy enough food to last the entire trip. You feed the animals out of cups, not your hands. At one point there is a fork in the road for either the "First Pass" or "Second Pass". We skipped the First Pass as it looks like a short loop with no animals, but the White Tiger is along this route. Watch out for those pesky Camels and Horses...there is a high chance they pull the cup from your hands or take a huge bite right out of it...tasty! The Ostriches and Emus peck, so hold the cup outside of the car or you'll have a long-necked bird in your face.
Intimidating, but this guy takes it easy.
The camels have a perfectly mastered routine: they are just waiting for you to drive right between them. Be prepared for animal slobber...on windows, the side of your car, the feeding cups, and possibly your hands. Definitely don't take your Mercedes. A truck or SUV is your best choice.
Horns, giant horns. While we didn't experience any horns scratching our vehicle I'm sure it happens on occasion, maybe? Driving past the horned animals, we couldn't help but imagine them giving the side of our vehicle a little detailing.
The other sections of the park, Go-Karts, Gem Mining, Petting Zoo, etc, were all closed during our trip due to storm damage, so I can not comment on those experiences. We did drive thru the park twice to get our monies worth though. It was a unique experience that my family really enjoyed.
*Also in Davis, OK is Turner Falls: Oklahoma's tallest waterfall. And there are scenic routes and hiking trails thru the Arbuckle Mountains and lots of wind turbines.
