Darby Safari went so above and beyond our expectations. We love zoos, but this was so much more…read morethan just staring at a bunch of animals behind bars - instead we had multiple opportunities to get up close, touch and feed the animals. In addition, some free range friends walked along with us humans on the tour and literally wanted to eat out of our hands. Our guides, Maddie and Shane, were fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable about the animals, and excellent at making sure everyone in the fairly sizable tour group had an opportunity to see or feed each animal they introduced. We bought the "Kit and Kaboodle" package which was so incredibly worth it! Some zoos allow you a "personal encounter" with one species, or by holding up an animal and letting you pet it,... but in the encounter room, Maddie and Shane spent an hour or more introducing us to at least 10 animals, all different species, in very interactive ways. We held armadillos, hand wrestled a mongoose, let a tiny monkey jump from shoulder to shoulder between us eating Fruit Loops, fed and high-fived otters, and so much more. I truly can't say enough about how happy we are that we included Darby Safari in our first ever trip to Charlotte!

Experience: I took my husband to the safari to do a Capybara encounter for his birthday, but it ended up being so much more. We were able to learn about and pet farm animals, zebras, monkeys, lemurs, camels, kangaroos, fennec foxes, otters, and so many other beautiful rescue animals. They were all well taken care of and in good spirits. The experience was $25 per person and $25 extra per person to sit and have an encounter in the Capybara's environment. They were so sweet and kept jumping on us to snack on veggies. I can't wait to go back, I want to do all the encounters they have! Everyone in Charlotte needs to visit the farm and safari, it is a great experience.

She was extremely knowledgeable about the citities history and hauntings. I had no idea how old a lot of the buildings are and how much history is underneath the sky scrapers.

We were really taken aback how the area has changed for the good in such a short period of time. The amount of great art, food, and drink in such a cute community is really great. The tour itself was very fun and we learned alot of history about the area and how it came to be and where it is going. The guide (Mark) was a walking encyclopedia of plaza midwood and kept the tour light and airy. We definitely plan on coming back for their other tours. #onlyinPM!

This is a very interesting ghost tour of Winston-Salem with a lot of history sprinkled in. My…read morefavorite ghost tours are the ones where the tour guide is obviously very into the paranormal because their enthusiasm radiates out and helps you to enjoy the tour. It was a relatively short walk with a lot of stops and long pauses to talk. Because it was cold I probably would've preferred a little more walking. It would have been really cool to be able to go inside some of the buildings on the tour instead of just looking from the outside. Another thing that might've helped is for the guide to have printed out pictures of the places or people he talked about to help us all visualize the stories. He did show us a couple pictures on his phone, but I feel like I could've used more. The guide was knowledgeable in answering everyone's questions and he was very friendly. The tour was fun and I enjoyed it.

This is fun for the whole family and the audience is taken into account so the stories are tapered to fit the youth of the audience. We were all older so, some of the scarier versions were revealed. FYI-make an evening out of it, several fun restaurants and taverns are right by the tracks where most of the stories take place.
