    Value wise, this has to be one of the best of the best. Even without thinking about value, this…read moreplace is pretty cool. What do I know about fish? Not much. How much do I care about fish? Probably about the same amount as the average Joe or Jane. They've got fish in tanks on displays, as well as crocodiles (not in tanks though, but in their own enclosure). They've got an exhibit on models of fish caught over the year. Some get pretty big and impressive as well as an insane amount of lures. They have a quick little show with a giant tank and diver in it teaching about the different fish there. We followed it with a tram tour around the fishery. They showed where the fish was kept and explain the process. Towards the end they'll offer to let you off so you can walk back through their marsh walkway or take you back on the tram. We opted for the walk since it was such a beautiful day out and it was scenic and a good short walk to get the heart going. My favorite part was the fishing pond they have. They'll even set you up with rod and lures to fish there as part of your admission. Before they send you off, they'll give you a quick little spiel to get you started. Ask if you're needing more information. The man running this station is super helpful! We didn't catch anything but it was still a lot of fun. We did see others catch fish. Highly recommend, especially if you have children!

Lots of smaller aquariums showcasing various native fish. Ride the tram and take the short walk back on the "wetlands trail" (not wet) and enjoy the birds and the scenery. Be prepared for lots of kids if the school busses are present.

I think the adults had just as much or even more fun than the kids. Courtney, the owner was a sweetheart. She was personable,, detailed, and you can tell she love what she did. The Safari starts off with the deers and it moves up to llamas and moves up to some of the bigger animals. It was such a great experience. Lots of screams and laughter. There are enough animals for the young ones to enjoy and feed. We are definitely going back. It is a great activity for family and friends with a wide age range that would enjoy it! I am located in Plano so it is a drive but it would be a great event to do for the day and find some cute little restaurants out there to end the day.

You'll meet lots of deer, burros, some huge bison, wildebeest, antelope, and spectacularly gigantic bovine specimens. You'll see a wide range of antlers, wide and thick, mature and juvenile. Entry fee includes several generous bags of food. Maybe the number of bags is based on number of occupants in the car. That's also how they determine fees. Animals come up to car windows to collect the treats. My 5-year old great niece enjoyed it all immensely, as did the adults in our group. She kept saying "Adorable." The self-guided tour provides scenic local views. Animals and kids provide lots of laughs. Highly recommend, especially to entertain your youngsters. There's a small walk-through area just before the exit. Good place to stop and let the littles shake their legs and shake off some energy before your drive back.

Definitely a hit with the kiddo! We took our 6yo daughter on a Sunday afternoon and she loved it. We saw alligators, capybaras, all sorts of weird fowl, goats, monkeys, a pig, an emu, some zebras (they were far off in an area that wasn't accessible), bears, baboons, roosters, a donkey, a miniature pony, peacocks, and tortoises. Probably the coolest thing outside the baby animal room was the alligator feeding. One of the handlers came out with a bucket of raw chicken and some gator knowledge, and we stood just feet away as these massive gators hissed and jumped and came up out of the water to eat. It was so awesome! In addition to the animals, there was also a small playground with ropes to swing on and climb. On our way out we stopped in the baby animal area and got to hold ferrets, a bearded dragon, two snakes, a baby coati, and a baby alligator. There was also a sweet baby muntjac deer you could pet (but not hold). We took a lot of really fun pictures. It was a great way to end the visit. The only drawback is that the grounds don't seem well-maintained and need mowing and other work. The barns were really dirty and covered in cobwebs. There were giant tortoise turds on the walkway. One of the feeding tubes for the bears was broken. You can tell the place is in need of some repairs. I'm sure it's because all their profits go to the animals and not the facilities. It didn't prevent us from having a great time and we would definitely visit again!

They have been reported twice since December 2025…read more According to the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the incident happened Dec. 20, 2025, at Mystic Misfits (aka Canton Grand Safari) in Grand Saline. Inspectors say the adult female hyena was being handled in a manner similar to a pet dog, walking in a public area with direct access to guests. The USDA report states the facility allowed members of the public near the animal and directed one guest to stand beside the hyena for a photograph. Federal officials say the hyena then bit through the leash, escaped the handler's control and attacked the guest, causing a severe calf injury that required hospitalization. The violation was labeled "Critical" under federal animal handling regulations. USDA inspectors noted hyenas are powerful wild predators capable of causing serious injury and said public exhibitions must include proper barriers, distancing and handling procedures to protect both the public and the animals. The focused inspection was conducted Dec. 31, 2025, and the report says corrective action was required immediately moving forward.

Canton Grand Safari was found to be in violation of their 21 day suspension which was put in place January 2, 2026. Please see attached Official Notice of suspension paperwork attached.

He especially loved feeding the giraffes and the budgies. One of the budgies flew up on my husband's head and just stayed there. The buffalo was a little scary to him when it decided to take the whole bucket of food and ripped it out of my husband's hand but it was all okay. The grounds are nice and clean and the staff was very friendly and kind. It is a little pricey but when you think of all that goes in to keeping these animals and how educational it is, it is well worth it. We spent 4 hours there and my grandson wants to go back. A big thumbs up!

The park is divided into Front, Middle, Back and North Safari zones so pace your food or the animals in the back will miss out. TIP: buy LOTS of feed. We purchased 4 four-bucket packs and ran out of food! The boys quickly discovered which animals were 'bad boys' (their words) who clamped their jaws on the food bucket and pulled it out of their hands--Zebras and Camels--and which animals had insatiable appetittes-- Ostriches and Llamas! After winding through the safaris, seeing hundreds of beautiful animals and feeding many, we stopped for a walk through the Safari Trading Post. The boys fed a giraffe and Budgies (separate food needed), explored the pond, petted goats and browsed the Safari Trading Post. Despite the Texas heat, many animals were out and actively looking for free food while others soaked in the ponds. Hearing the boys screaming and laughing and seeing their smiles was priceless! A fantastic find--we've already planned another trip!

I was surprised to find such an exciting outdoor adventure spot right on the edge of Dallas. The staff was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. The park features nine aerial adventure courses, each offering different levels of difficulty, making it perfect for all skill levels. Every course was a thrill! We spent three hours tackling as many challenges as we could and completely lost track of time.

You will have to buy gloves for the activity so you don't mess up your hands while doing the courses or they also do have them for sale in the entrance for $10 each pair. Upon checking in, 2 people at the front aren't the best at customer service, not welcoming at all. Our instructors tho were amazing and we thankfully got out into a bigger group and we all had a blast. Very shaded activity as well, no need for a hat in my opinion, they also had free lockers.
