Be prepared to have at a minimum of 4 to 5 animals surrounding your car at any given time. While the animals are accustomed to being fed from cars it doesn’t stop you from screaming when they stick their entire heads through the car window. We purchased the bucket and still ran out of food before we made it halfway through the park so I suggest purchasing two buckets of food especially if you have kids with you. You can purchase either a large bucket which is $5.00 or the red solo cup of food. I suggest purchasing the large bucket because the animals will devour the food pretty quickly. The park also provides you the opportunity to purchase food for your drive-thru the park. Once you arrive at Harmony Safari park you will enter the park and come to a small trailer where an attendant will greet you and take your payment which is $10 pp. Harmony Park Safari is about 30 minutes south of downtown Huntsville, AL, and a 2-hour drive from Nashville. If you roll down your windows be prepared for the Emu’s because they are quick and those skinny little heads will dart in out of your car window so fast. The park was good and the experience for our Granddaughter was well worth the trip and the admission price.The park is a “drive-through” animal park where you are required for your own safety to remain in your car during the two-mile route to see the animals which include zebras, zebus, antelope, buffalo, a camel, ostriches, pythons & crocodiles. but they will follow you around the park. If you don’t want to feed them, simply roll up your window - they’ll go away. They’re quite aggressive and we had one deer try to put his front feet up into the driver’s window but we pushed him away. The animals, especially the Emus & deer want al the food you’ll give them. There were lots & lots of pigs & piglets wondering throughout the grounds as well. The owner said she was hoping to reopen it next year. A bit disappointing (to me) was the petting zoo was closed due to Covid. The Zebras were off site while birthing their young. There were lots of deer and Emus, horses, goats, ostriches, peacocks, some lamas, turtles & tortoises, a Chanel, a giraffe, a gator, and probably many more I’ve left off. Needless to say, we went through the park 3 times and got one refill. You could get refills on the same day for an additional $5.00. She had the most fun.EVER! Admission was $11 each and a bucket of food was $10. We took our Granddaughter to her “first ever” safari park - the Harmony Park Safari. Maybe one day we will be back in the area and the reptile exhibits will be available. Overall this is a great experience with more variety of animals than a petting zoo. We got stuck for a little bit by a large bull who was drinking water but eventually he got bored and moved. You are entering the main enclosure and are subject to what the animals are wanting to do. The giraffe, camel and tortoise seemed isolated in small pens. The cons- as some have pointed out the conditions of the enclosures we saw aren’t the best. Kids love activities like this and ours definitely did. Went through twice after wanting a refill on the bucket. We escaped relatively unharmed, minus the zebra that was chewing on our door handle? Now who can say they’ve had that happen? We’ve only seen something like this in Canada (Parc Omega) so we found this fun. We didn’t ask about car rentals due to COVID, but we did know the risk of using our car. It was only open for drive through due to COVID. We found it and decided to check it out with an 8 and 6 year old and a baby. This experience has positive and negative aspects. ![]()
