#FRANKLIN SAFARI DRIVERS#

Which I assure you, they will be immediately confiscated by these flying and climbing crazies! But the cups were helpful for drawing curiosity and getting them to hang on you and play. Your experience wonвЂ™t be the same with out heading to the baby room! ItвЂ™s an additional $15 for 15 min per person with these crazy babies! You can also buy cups of grapes for $2 each. So much fun! They sell the lettuce for a dollar per leaf, which adds up if you want to feed all the giraffes multiple times. I just wanted to put one of these guys in my backseat and take him home! Look at this baby Donkey/Zebra! Do you think we should call him a Zonkey or a Zebkey? (Or itвЂ™s because Colton slowly crept forward, but I like my version better haha)

And when you donвЂ™t give them more they stopped in front of the car in hopes that youвЂ™ll give in! Just hold your ground people! After I kindly explained that some of the other animals need treats too, he hesitantly let us pass.

The camels liked to go from passenger side to drivers side window in search of the treats. Really, the only time IвЂ™ve ever used my sunroof! Made it super fun to see and feed the animals. Most of the animals have no idea of personal space and know that you have food so will not be afraid to stick their whole head into your car in search for the goods! However, if youвЂ™re planning on taking kiddos I would probably do a bucket per front seat and back seat. ItвЂ™s an additional $5 for a bucket of feed that lasted me for the whole drive. ItвЂ™s $15 per person which includes both the drive-thru and walk-thru portion. Make sure to check their Facebook page for updated information about closures or events.

So when I found out about these drive thru safaris here in Texas where you actually get to interact with them I was ecstatic!! I especially love FranklinвЂ™s Drive-Thru Safari because youвЂ™re able to feed the giraffeвЂ™s, the zebras are friendlier and they have a вЂbaby roomвЂ™ where you can play with baby monkeys and lemurs, and if youвЂ™re lucky sometimes other baby animals too! (By play, I mean let them jump on you, steal your hat, and play with your hair! But hey! ItвЂ™s still fun!)ДЇranklinвЂ™s Drive-Thru is about 2 hours from Austin and 30 minutes from College station. We always made arrangements to go when a new baby rhino or elephant was born or even just to get together as a family and enjoy a day with the animals.

Growing up, my family had yearly family passes to the Albuquerque Zoo and would frequent it quite often. This is my second drive-thru safari that IвЂ™ve been to here in Texas and itвЂ™s probably one of my most favorite things in the world. Keep your chin upвЂќ вЂ“ Advice from a Giraffe
