Did you know?
Just a few minutes of positive interaction with an animal can help reduce stress and promote feelings of happiness and relaxation!

Did you know? Being around animals can encourage the release of oxytocin, often called the "feel-good" or bonding hormone!

Did you know? Spending time with animals can help children develop empathy, compassion, and a greater appreciation for living things.

Wellness evening with yoga, massage, holistic therapies, and these animal snuggles and more tomorrow 5-7pm! Don’t miss it

🎃 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – HAUNTED HAYRIDE CANCELLATION 🎃

It is with sincere disappointment that we announce the cancellation of our 2026 Haunted Hayride at Circle M Safari Park.

Due to a combination of unforeseen circumstances beyond our original planning, we have made the difficult decision that we will be unable to move forward with this year’s event.

We know many of you were looking forward to a spooky night on the safari, and we truly apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause.

All purchased tickets will receive a full refund. We are personally reaching out to ticket holders to ensure everyone is taken care of.

We sincerely appreciate the excitement, support, and understanding our community has shown us

❤️ Thank you for continuing to support our small, family-owned safari park.

Please note: Our regular daytime safari operations and scheduled Halloween activities are not affected by this cancellation.
