Safari Niagara, a 150-acre, privately-owned and operated nature park, is home to more than 1,000 animals of native and exotic mammals, reptiles and birds. In addition, visitors can enjoy spending quality time with their families and friends at Safari Niagara by taking part in many free activities including paddle boating, catch and release fishing and playing at the large playgrounds, sandbox and animal-themed splash pad. Safari Niagara's vision is to provide people of all ages and abilities the opportunity to meet mammals, reptiles and birds up close. It is hoped that such interaction with nature will inspire future conservationists and naturalists.
