As Buffalonians, we’re incredibly lucky to have attractions like Delaware Park that bring a little bit of everything to the table – including an amazing zoo. If you love our zoo and are looking for another adventurous outing where you can interact with animals that you aren’t used to seeing in everyday life, it’s time to visit our neighboring county for a little-known safari tour.
Hop in the car and head to Varysburg and the amazing Hidden Valley Animal Adventure.
OurBestRoadTrips/TripAdvisor Varysburg is just 40 minutes from Buffalo, making this a surprisingly easy day trip!
This little-known wild game safari park has been open since 2010, but has somehow managed to stay under the radar.

You’ll find plenty of open spaces and areas where you can walk amongst the animals, but there’s one particular attraction that we look forward to each year: the safari ride.

After you feed the animals, it’s time for you to grab a bite to eat too. The park has a full-service restaurant as well as a casual dining spot, so you’ll never go hungry here.
