I think a lot of the drive thru safari type attractions closed because of insurance reasons.

No gorillas !! Where would I hide??

NO WAY!! I live with 6 cats and I know that they are plotting against us. Only difference between them and those big ones is........the big ones can really make us part of the kitty litter!! :shock:

If you want a drive-through zoo experience, just go to Yellowstone, to the Lamar valley, in the early morning. You'll be driving through herds and herds of bison. Poor Ellie, I was always asking her to flip open the back seat, crawl in the trunk, and get something out of my camera bag! You do NOT get out when a bison is next to your car. I always was tempted to reach out and just bury my fingers in their thick fur by their heads, though.

:D That is what I'm talking about! It's called "Lion Country Safari". I live 15 minutes down the road from that zoo.
