You may also need a car wash if one of the deer gives you one of his epic sneezes. I just vacuum it up later with all the peanuts, Cheetos pieces, and slivers of string cheese. My car is usually a mess at this point in the road trip, so it doesn’t bother me. I have to warn you-you will probably get animal food in your vehicle. He scared the kids a so we had to ease on down, ease on down the road when he approached us -photo below). We thought it was hilarious (except for the big snotty bull with huge horns.

The animals are very sweet and friendly and kept us laughing the whole time we were there. We always have a great time when we visit here. We have visited this park several times on our drives from Alabama to New York and Pennsylvania to visit family. It is a drive-thru zoo with animal exhibits and a petting zoo.
