The Virginia Safari Park exceeded all of our expectations, and even cracked its way through my hard shell of skepticism. We never made it to the Blue Ridge Parkway or White Rock Falls! Our plan was to visit the Safari Park right after lunch, then to drive home on the Blue Ridge Parkway, stopping off to hike the short way in to White Rock Falls, which my mother and sister had never been to. We started off with lunch at the Pink Cadillac Diner, which is another story entirely. We would go to the Virginia Safari Park, where I could decide for myself once and for all if this really was all it was cracked up to be. My sister Noreen and my mother came to visit from Florida, and we decided that this was the perfect opportunity for a family adventure. And I couldn’t imagine a drive through a “farm,” even an exotic one like the Virginia Safari Park, worth that much coin. Perhaps it is because of my accounting background, and my natural aversion to spending money unless I can see a really good return on investment. And all came back excited about what a great time they had.ĭespite these good reports, I continued to doubt. My children went with friends, numerous guests of our vacation rental cabins had gone, even my wife Debbie went with her sister from Texas and her four boys. I must admit, I remained skeptical of the value of such an experience, even though numerous favorable reports kept filtering back my way. The Virginia Safari Park in Natural Bridge proudly proclaims itself as the “only drive-through zoo” in Virginia!
