A Hidden NC Gem for Families…read more We had the most amazing time at Aloha Zoo in Cameron this week -- it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves! From the moment we arrived, our toddlers were wide-eyed with excitement, and the fun didn't stop. We explored exhibits featuring monkeys, hyenas, tigers, crocodiles, giraffes, and so many other animals -- each one more fascinating than the last. A highlight for our little ones (and us!) was getting to feed the animals -- it's such an interactive, up-close experience that they'll be talking about for a long time. But hands down, the most unforgettable part was the drive-through safari. Where else can a camel stick its head through your car window and nearly steal your taco bowl? This zoo is a perfect, family-friendly adventure with a personal, welcoming feel. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, memorable day trip. We'll definitely be back!

This is such a cool safari park... its a hidden gem TBH. They have farm animals which you can pet…read moreand larger animals you can observe and get relatively close too. Of course their big attraction is the drive thru animal park which you take your own car along a dirt trail and can feed (if you choose) various animals. The price for this place will not break the bank. A couple of observations to improve: 1) It needs to be maintained more... some of the exhibits just feel like add-ons on top of add-ons and it feels dated. 2) A refresh and modernization to the walking trails would be good. 3) A proper cafe or even drink stations with covered seating would be nice. Something more than just random popup trailers. 4) A more permanent (possibly lit) sign off highway 87 would be nice (if possible) Again this place is awesome, would come back!

It was definitely worth the trip from Long Island.

It was an hour from Winston-Salem and a pretty scenic drive to the sanctuary. It is well signed so you know where to turn and go to park. The staff was friendly and once we checked in, we started exploring the animals. I got to pet so many exotic animals like kangaroos and alpacas. I really enjoyed petting the camel and cow. We did not pay extra to feed and play with the capybara's but I may do that in the future. Bring bug spray since you were in a wooded area with animals.

This is not a zoo it's a sanctuary and rescue and I highly respect what they do here. it takes a lot, more that I can probably fathom to rescue and care for all the animals they have here (they do have a lot) from a variety of turtles, tons of different birds that were beautiful, monkeys, horses, donkeys, a camel, cats, dogs, raccoons, fox, bunnies, reptiles, ant eater, bats, pigs, the list goes on. You can tell these animals are well cared for as well, just keep in mind that they are rescues and we don't know what they have been through before they arrived. the entrance fee is more than reasonable for the experience.

You also get up close to the animals but they are still in enclosures. For $15 a person it's more than reasonable and you know your money goes to helping the animals.

Most of the animals are approachable only through a gravel surround and some are viewed only by standing. The parakeets are off limits to anyone in a wheelchair so that was another big disappointment. For anyone who is able bodied it's a wonderful place. Much less so if you're in a wheelchair.

Our tour was great and very informative. Our guide was extremely patient with all the questions the little kids had. We got to see several different types of tigers and servals. They have some other animals there too, but some were either not out where we could see them or are nocturnal. Some of the stories about the animals are just heartbreaking but to be expected since they are all rescued animals. They had a spot with picnic tables where our group was able to eat after the tour before we left. One other thing to note if you come with a larger group - they only have 2 public bathrooms located in the gift shop. We had some long lines with all the kiddos, but we made it work.

My eight year old asked if they could come back for his birthday. The husband-wife team was professional, friendly, extremely patient and clearly passionate about the animals. The animals were all adorable and friendly and you get to touch all of them and hold many of them. Cost is extremely reasonable ($150 for one hour), no additional cost to come to our house in the Apex/Holly Springs area. They set up 30 minutes before and give you the option of a petting zoo style event or an educational half hour with touching followed by 30 minutes to interact more and hold many of the animals. We loved the educational half hour. The kids were fascinated by all of the animals. Don't opt out of the snake and tarantula, surprisingly those didn't feel as scary as I expected and the tarantula was even cute, he "high fives" everyone. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite animal. The bird was so sweet and kept laughing during the presentation. The hedgehog was adorable, as were the ferret, sugar glider and rabbit. Plenty of options for reptile-lovers too! Highly recommend.

I spoke with Beverly on a Thursday to confirm and allow delivery one day early to accommodate their delivery schedule. ( Which I agreed to although no one was going to be at the house until Saturday to actually use the float). She specifically told me we would "probably" have it through the end of day or even into the next! AWESOME! I pulled strings to make sure someone would be there a day earlier AND to have someone available to open the gate and sign ( I live 1.5 hours away) Day of the party the kids are having a blast and I get a text that Scott will be there to pick it up within the hour. After going back and forth with the office, she tells me most ppl let them know in advance ( after she specifically told me otherwise on Thursday ) and although no one had it rented out the next day if he was already on the Hope Mills side of town it would be too late. After paying $475 to have a float ( $75 of which was the extra delivery fee to hope mills) she called back & COMPLETELY reversed and deflected what she had originally told me about keeping the float longer even after i offered to pay whatever so the kids could continue to enjoy. My cousins stayed from out of town so all our kids could play all evening but that was ruined. The kids were heartbroken, I will NEVER recommend this company to anyone else nor will I ever be spending my money with CFF. Party planning is stressful enough, If you have options PLEASE do your research and choose a company that will keep their word.

But this place is quite expansive with several areas including wildlife, butterfly and insect garden, a train tour that takes 2 laps around (might as well get it for the $6 a ticket), and several outdoor play areas including a tree house and mist/water areas. Place was crowded, but there were still plenty of spaces available at 10:30 in the garage. If I lived closer, I might consider a membership to save costs, but I live too far currently to justify that. The cafe food was mid, and again too expensive. The pricing for me knocks a star off, but if you've never been and are prepared to spend a couple hundred bucks for the day on a family of 4, you'll probably enjoy!
