Tupelo Buffalo Park & Zoo

Took the family to an afternoon here and had a wonderful time! The staff were very courteous and helpful when we arrived. I can’t emphasize how great the staff was when we first arrived. That first impression really made us feel welcomed. We explained to them it was our first time and they gave us great recommendations since my kids wanted to see certain animals. We got our buckets of feed and headed straight to the giraffe feeding area since the staff recommended we do that first. My kids loved feeding the giraffe! Note the giraffe eats different food than what is provided in the buckets of feed but the lady at the front desk alerted that to us as well when we arrived. Then we did the rest of the walking area of the zoo. The animals were friendly and looked well cared for. My kids loved feeding and seeing the different animals. The walking portion of the zoo also has a playground and various slides and things for kids to play on as well as looking at the animals. We will definitely come back here if we are in the Tupelo area and we might do both the driving option and then finish up with the walking option.
