Opened in Guntown in the fall of 2020, Blue Springs Safari is Mississippi’s newest small town gem.

It started off as a travelling zoo with just a zebra and a wallaby. Now, it’s a 44-acre farm with a variety of animals, a petting zoo, and safari ride.

Alpacas, ostriches, antelope, miniature donkeys and horses, porcupines, a macaque monkey, and kangaroos are just a few of the animals contained within the park’s large fenced-in areas.

And for an additional fee, you can buy food to feed them.

Aside from the fenced-in animals, there’s a Baby Room, where you can hold and interact with small and baby animals, such as pygmy goats, lambs, Holland Lop rabbits, and more.

Admission to the Baby Room is $15 per person, but according to the owner, it’s worth it because the Baby Room is the “best room in the whole place.”

Once you’ve walked through the park and treated the animals to handfuls of feed, you can hop aboard a tractor-pulled wagon for a safari tour of the park.
