  17. Great Overall, Don't Waste Money on Penguins!

    Review of Virginia Safari Park. Reviewed June 17, 2023 via mobile . Really really loved visiting the Safari Park! We had so much fun feeding the animals during the drive-thru and feeding the giraffes was the highlight of our trip! We did the penguin encounter and sadly we were not impressed with the amount of interaction allowed.
