DFW Family Directory

Have you ever fed an otter, pet a kangaroo, or held a fox?

Neither had we... until our recent visit to Safari Stayz in Oklahoma!

What started as a girls' weekend with Mimi, Mom, daughter, and friends turned into one of the most unforgettable family adventures we've ever experienced. From feeding otters and monkeys to petting kangaroos (they are SO soft!) and holding animals we never imagined we'd get to meet, every moment was interactive and exciting. https://www.facebook.com/p/Safari-Stayz-61557127048142/

Best of all, it was fun for all three generations and absolutely worth the drive from DFW.
