Accessibility Features

Wheelchair accessible, universal washroom, support persons welcome, service animals welcome, accessible drop-off location, accessible transportation, accessible seating, accessible restaurant, accessible recreation trails, accessible parking, accessible entrances/exits, more about safari niagara.

Safari Niagara welcomes you to view animals from across the globe, like African lions, alpacas, American badgers, camels, monkeys, cougars, giraffes, snakes, red pandas, zebra, reindeer, hippos and more. Learn about unique habitats and habits of each species. Wildlife protection and conservation is a key philosophy shared.

The Tykolis, founding family and owners of Safari Niagara, began operating their first business in 1967. Through innovative thinking and mindful investments, they’ve been able to develop Safari Niagara into the successful park it is today. The family transformed a flat, clay tract of land in rural Stevensville into a natural, green space complete with hills, lakes and forests where animals can thrive.

Narrated tram tours on the Gator Express take you through the park, with fun fact about the residents and history of the park. Interactive educational presentations also share stories and details about specific animals, plants and features of the park. The walk-through Budgie Exhibit features over 500 birds flying free.

Visit Papa Steve’s Family Farm, home to miniature horses, fallow deer, peafowl and other adorable animals. Or be a ‘junior zookeeper for the day’ on a personal b ehind-the-scenes tour of the park to experience rhinos, giraffes and lions up close.

Discover even more excitement with the pedal Bike Go-Karts on the Safari Speedway. For those with a taste for adventure, test your climbing skills on the SKYQUEST ropes course. SkyTykes is a course of balance beams, bridges and ropes similar to the larger system of ropes designed for the younger adrenaline seekers. Kids up to age 12 are invited to jump, dive and play on the Bounce A Rooz, giant, inflatable pillows. The Children’s Play Area features slides, swings and a Carousel. Try your hand at fishing the fully stocked catch-and-release pond, play on the splash pad or explore the lake by paddleboat.

A Full Day of Adventure at Safari Niagara

Published: Jul 1, 2014 · Modified: Dec 26, 2021 by Niagara Families · 1 Comment

When it comes to zoos, there are two camps. People either loathe the idea of keeping wild animals in cages, or they are resigned to the reality that without an opportunity to get up close and personal to species besides our own, people would truly care a lot less about the fate of these creatures. I'm in the second camp myself, and I care deeply about the conditions under which such animals are kept. That's why you'll never see a certain local aquarium on this site. It was with caution that I approached a family day of adventure at Safari Niagara.

I did my research first. Several Google searches later, and I couldn't find any dirt about Safari Niagara, and in fact, I found this encouraging article where managing director Tim Tykollis responds to the outrage surrounding animal treatment at Marineland. To me, it seemed like Safari Niagara was very invested in the welfare of their animals, and the staff who care for them every day. It was nice to see them take steps beyond the basic necessities.

In 2013 Safari Niagara became an accredited member of the Zoological Association of America, in addition to their existing Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquarium accreditation (CAZA-AZAC). You can read more about their credentials here.

We chose Father's Day to explore Safari Niagara as a family, and on that particular day dads got in for free. Here are notes from our trip:

The Park Was Packed, But We Barely Knew

I learned later that Safari Niagara had record attendance on that day, but the amazing thing was that this park is so huge, the crowds were barely noticeable. We were able to enjoy everything without feeling crowded, and there were hardly even line ups for the rides or amusements. I was deeply impressed, that is, until lunch.

Consider Bringing a Picnic

We didn't, and it became our only regret that day. The line up for the food concession stand was AN HOUR LONG. Just to order food! Then we had to wait for it to be ready. With a diabetic grandpa and an over-tired toddler, you can imagine the exquisite hell we experienced. There was another stand offering wraps, but most of our posse wanted more traditional fast food. We bit the bullet and waited, trying to make the most of it as we lost two hours of our day to the lunch experience. Ugh. At least, when the food finally arrived, it was  DELICIOUS. Really great quality, and good prices. The park was quick to respond to my complaint, and explained that they were shocked by the attendance numbers that day, plus two staff members had called in sick. They also informed us that they would be opening additional food concessions this season. All great to know, and I was happy with the customer service. If you want to save some dough, and get lunch over with more quickly, bring your own. There are plenty of beautiful picnic spots and benches on the grounds, and  you can even rent a wagon at the park entrance.

Bring Swim Gear

Safari Niagara has an awesome splash pad and wading pool that really saved our bacon during the epic lunch fiasco. Our kids were so cranky, we sent them in with their street clothes. I didn't realize the splash pad was open, so we came unprepared. It's great for toddlers and slightly older little ones, and my 10 year old loved playing babysitter as the younger kids were distracted.  This cool down will be necessary if you visit the park on a hot day.

Hats, Water and Sunscreen Required

There are lots of shady spots throughout the park, but there are also long stretches where visitors are in full sun. It was a hot day when we went, so we were glad for hydration and sun protection.  If you're really beat in the heat, there's a lovely train that runs through the entire park making various stops along the way.

Bug Repellent Wouldn't Hurt Either

It's a fact: moist, wooded areas filled with wildlife attract bugs. Namely huge mosquitos. Most of the animals are in said shaded areas, so you may want to protect yourself from bug bites.

Plan to Spend the Day

We couldn't get to everything at the park, and we were there from about 10:30 am until 3:30 pm. There are so many fun activities including: a multi-level ropes course for climbing of all levels (totally safe - everyone gets harnessed), a bungee swing, some amusement rides, a giant sandbox filled with toys and huge playground with a wide variety of equipment for kids of all ages, paddle boats, mini farm, catch-and-release fishing, and several shows and guided tours featuring various species of animals. We've promised the kids another trip or two before the summer is over. Us grown ups have our eye on the concert series at the park's amphitheater, particularly the upcoming Pink Floyd tribute night when the Niagara Symphony Orchestra teams up with New York-based band The Machine to play The Wall in it's entirety under the stars. Date night, anyone?

Bottom Line:

Safari Niagara was a huge hit with the kids, who had a truly perfect day of fun once their bellies were full again. I noticed only a couple of things about the animals and their habitats, but when I expressed my concerns in an email, they were addressed promptly and thoroughly by management. I'll be curious to see if any of the improvements were made by the time we return to the park later this summer, otherwise the habitats were meticulously clean, decently sized,  and the animals appeared to be in good health.

Our kids had the opportunity to feed giraffes, listen to screeching howler monkeys, take photos of sleepy lions and learn about the effect that disappearing habitat has on our local wolf population. They really took away a sense of responsibility towards other living creatures, and I remember the same feeling of awe and wonder and protectiveness that zoos would evoke in me as a child. Animals should be free, but we haven't done a very good job of taking care of them in their own habitats either, have we? I still have mixed feelings about whether keeping animals in captivity is right, but I can say that I felt that the animals at Safari Niagara seemed well cared for.

I only wish there were more volunteers and staff available to answer questions and share information about the animals on site. Perhaps as the season goes on, staffing will pick up.

Safari Niagara offers a kid's summer day camp  through July, plus they host birthday parties and encourage celebrations of all sorts. The park is open May through early October, except on August 13th when they are closed for a private event. 

We're hosting friends and family in July and August, and we've added Safari Niagara to our must-do list with our visitors. If you're on my side of the ethical argument over zoos, you should definitely check this one out.  Visit the Safari Niagara website here.

Enjoy Walk-Through Exhibits

One of the highlights of this Niagara Safari is its walk-through exhibits, where you can step directly into the world of the animals. One such exhibit is the Giraffe Encounter , where you can hand-feed these gentle giants and witness their towering grace up close.

The Lemur Walk is another must-visit attraction is the Lemur Walk. Here, you can walk among playful lemurs in their habitat. Observing their antics and curious nature is a unique and heartwarming experience, especially for children who might be seeing these creatures for the first time.

Safari Niagara’s Bird Aviary is a bird lover’s paradise. It’s home to a stunning array of bird species, including parrots, cockatiels, and lorikeets.
