Things are getting a little spooky here at Darby Safari!🎃👻

Our cows have officially been visited by the ghosts of Halloween past, and we’re pretty sure they’re still trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

But the Halloween fun doesn’t stop there!!

TOMORROW, October 31st, we’re celebrating Halloween with FAMILY DAY at Darby Safari!

For just $45 per person, you’ll get TWO full hours to explore our safari, meet some incredible animals, and enjoy hands on experiences with some of the world’s most fascinating wildlife!

Here’s just a little of what you can look forward to:

• Meet and feed our capybaras
• Hang out with our kangaroos
• Enjoy bunny, reptile, and armadillo encounters
• Feed camels, emus, cows, ducks, porcupines, and so many more incredible animals
• Explore the safari at your own pace and learn all about the animals that call Darby Safari home

All animal food and listed encounters are covered in your admission!

Want even more? We also have optional otter hand holding encounters for $10 per person (ages 8+) and spider monkey encounters for $20 per person (ages 12+), available for purchase at the gate.

And because it’s Halloween, our staff will be dressed up for the occasion! You’re welcome to wear your costume too, just keep in mind that things can get a little messy around here🧡

We still have just a few spots left for our 10am and 1pm sessions tomorrow!

If you’ve been looking for something different to do with your family this Halloween, we’d love to spend it with you.

Tickets are available online now. Check out our website and grab yours before they’re gone!
