And we literally just did one turn around the lake. We took the little boat around the lake- we waited for about 15 minutes for that ride which took less than 5 minutes. It wasn't a lot of time with the attractions. So we got to the park at 2, finished the safari at 3:30 and the attractions are closed, nothing to talk about by 5. We did this on a Sunday and we left Miami around 12:30 (we were 5 ppl and that's early for us!). See, here's the thing: after driving up from Miami for an hour and a half and driving through the safari leisurely, which is the whole point of the day, the attractions close too early. After we drove through we were able to enjoy a few of the other attractions. The kids really enjoyed the ride through and having all the animals so near by. There were many animals to see and I appreciated that we were able to stop when we wanted to to just watch. We followed along with the narration and it was very helpful (drop boring and confusing, like it didn't necessarily keep up with where we were. That said, the drive-through safari part was wonderful. Just keep that in mind when you are planning your day.
Once we got back, we had spent hours in the car. We drove through the safari which also took around an hour and 20 minutes. We drove up from Miami which took around an hour and a half. I loved it then and fast forward almost 40 years, was excited to bring my kids there now. I remember visiting the Lion country safari when I was in 5th grade in the 1980s.
