You must go here.
The West Coast Game Park Safari is a true hands-on zoo/safari experience. This interactive zoo allows you to not just view wildlife but to actually touch and interact with leopards, chimps, panthers, bears and our family favorite, capybaras.
Caleb loved the West Coast Game Park!
This place is amazing.
Truly, a very special place when you get touch wildlife such as this baby lion.
This is not a normal zoo!
Located in Bandon, Oregon, just south of Coos Bay on the Oregon Coast's scenic Highway 101, this park is described as the United State's largest wild animal petting park!
Our crew has loved visiting the West Coast Game Park!
A family favorite destination, the park offers the opportunity to foster a love and respect for wildlife and an educational experience that changes with each visit.
These goats flocked to Miss Bella!
We made the trek down the coastal 101 highway more than once to experience this unique safari.
Can you imagine being this close to an opossum?
We could have stayed for hours.
There were so many different animals to experience.
You can get so close and up-personal with so many animals and birds that you could never interact with in a typical zoo setting.
Gorgeous Peacocks
We've visited the Game Park in the fall and then during the winter (late December) and found the animals out and about on both occasions. The damper winter weather did not change the experience.
Be prepared for hungry animals ready for snacks!
The featured animals are those that are allowed for petting and special showings in which park guests get the opportunity to interact with. You are guaranteed to have a close encounter with an exotic animal, although the hands-on interactions are limited to babies.
This is always the highlight of our visits.
The animal handlers provide ample time for interactions and photos.
Definitely one of our kids' favorite experiences!
I can't forget to mention the leaping lemurs that will surprise you with a landing on your shoulder in the gift shop on your way out.
Leaping lemurs greeted us in the gift shop!
This place appeals to all ages.
