My kids and I had the best day at Tanganyika Wildlife Park! This is the first time we have visited this year, and I love the new changes. Not having to worry about what and when we will eat and not carrying around everyones drinks and extra snacks made the the day so easy. I didn't even have to make sure we ate breakfast before we left home for the day - all food and snacks are included, even breakfast! The kids loved that they were able to feed the lemurs more than once and no long lines for the other animal feedings. Just a stress free and memorable trip that we can't wait to make again! Seeing the red river hog as an ambasador animal was a new experience and super fun. Staff was wonderful and the park was clean as usual!

Had an amazing day at Tamganyika Wildlife Park. We were able to pet kangaroos and feed the alpacas, goats, tortoises, lemur, giant koi.
Brittany Collins went around to some of the exhibits and shared information about the animals and their names.
You have to check this park out if you are in or near Goddard, KS

A great experience. Park was spotless, staff extremely friendly knowledgeable and interactive. I enjoyed all the feedings but highly recommend the Lorikeets…I was not prepared for the joy of this one.
Naturally the penguin swim was the highlight and Taylor, Sydney and Lisa made certain the experience was all that it could be. We were well prepared before entering the pool by Lisa, Taylor educated us and enhanced the experience w her knowledge and fun personality, and Sydney made sure we had so many great pictures documenting a once in a lifetime event.

One of the best experiences of my life! We did the weekend VIP and it was so worth it! So glad they give you a 3rd day to explore the park as we were so busy the first 2 days doing such amazing things and meeting so many different animals that we needed that extra day to enjoy the rest of the park. There is so much to do and experience even if you don’t do a package like feed bunnies, turtles, lemurs, fish, and birds. I would do it again and again! The animals were treated so well and were never forced to do anything. They were treated like family. Every trainer was kind and informative. The place was very clean and all the animals looked happy and healthy. I love the work they are doing to help save endangered species! Just can’t say enough good things!! I’m so glad this place exists!

My fiancé and I have always loved penguins, so when I read that this is the only place in the United States where you can actually swim with penguins, I knew we had to go. We booked two penguin swims, and they were both awesome. During the second swim, we were the only two people there, so we had all the penguins to ourselves. They did not disappoint. They were fantastic and loving. They swam right up to us, nibbled on our hands, and one even let me hold him. It was an absolutely fantastic day. If you love penguins like we do, I strongly recommend a penguin swim.

In addition to the penguins, the park has all the regular animals, including zebras, giraffes, etc. The sloth was pretty cool too, and it was fun to walk around and see everything. But let's be honest, we were primarily here for the penguins. They also have a package called the Ultimate Weekend, where you can book a bunch of animal meet-and-greets. We didn't do all of them since we were just here for the penguins, but it was still cool.

On the park grounds, there's a house called the Hawkins Estate. We stayed there, and it was amazing. It's a huge house designed for about ten people, but it was just the two of us. The rooms are fantastic, you get a view of part of the park, and there's a pool table and a game room. It was truly amazing, and it's within walking distance to the park. Plus, there are lots of restaurants a short drive away, so all in all, it was a great time. We will definitely be back soon.

This place is great. Although it's not a huge installation, it definitely has a great variety of well-kept animals. We went on a Sunday, and it was perfect to be able to stroll at our own pace without everyone pushing us or crowding the viewing areas. Since it is the cold season, some of the animals' interactions are limited, but it does not take away any of the beauty these majestic animals have. I mean, just look at that tiger 😍
