Wild Florida offering discount admission

- By Trevor Fraser

July 1 is American Zoo Day, honoring the opening of the nation’s first zoo, the Philadelph­ia Zoo, in 1874. Since wandering around in large crowds is not the healthiest activity these days, the best way to celebrate might be to stare at exotic animals from the safety of a car.

Wild Florida has just the trip you’re looking for in their Drive-thru Safari Park. The Osceola attraction features more than 100 animals from bison to emu to crocodiles, all to be observed running fairly wild in a leisurely hour-long drive.

Admission to the safari is typically $29 per adult and $20 ages 12 and younger, but use promo code VO2020 at checkout online and receive $4 off each admission.

Other restrictio­ns apply. To book your visit or for more informatio­n, go to wildflorid­airboats.com.
