Spend the Day at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park

Lake Tobias Wildlife Park is located in Halifax, Pennsylvania. If you're traveling from the Harrisburg area, it's about a 30 minute drive up Route 322. You can find complete driving directions from all over Pennsylvania on their website.

Due to Covid-19 there are a few park changes. There Safari Tour is open but the Safari Buses are cancelled for the season. You'll now take the drive-through safari tour comfortably sitting in your own vehicle. I personally like the change! Face masks are recommended and are required in certain areas of the park. Please bring them along with you.

Throughout the month of September and October the park is open on weekends from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed weekdays. During the summer season the park is open 7 days a week. The Safari Tour costs $7.00 per person. The admission to the zoo exhibits and petting zoo costs $8.00 per person. Children age 2 and under are free. Parking is free.

During your visit you'll encounter many different species of animals. There are ostrich, giraffes, black bear, bengal tiger, camels, zebras, peacocks, monkeys, sloth, alpaca, american alligators, all kinds of different snakes, turtles, red kangaroos, buffalo, deer, various birds, etc.

At the petting zoo you'll encounter alpacas, goats, llamas, fallow deer, etc. You can feed some of them treats but ONLY treats that are provided by the facility. Feeding the animals will be an additional fee for food and treats. Please be aware that the petting zoo area can get crowded and rowdy with a lot of young children running around. Please keep an eye on your kids!

The park has four concession areas where you can purchase a variety of food and beverages. You'll find burgers, hot dogs, french fries, subs, hot & cold sandwiches, ice cream and more!
