Review:
The closest you can get to a real wildlife safari in Nebraska is by visiting Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari near Ashland. You can drive through the park for four miles, watching native North American animals in their real life habitat. You can meet elk, bison, white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope and much more.
There is a recreation of the Platte River which houses 24 Sandhill Cranes and four Trumpeter Swans. The 10-acre wetland is home to 19 American white pelicans, turtles and frogs. There is also a Wolf Canyon, where you can get out of your car and wander around,which houses six gray wolves.Bison Plains, a 40 acres habitat for American Bison, boasts a mix of woodland, hills and open grasslands.
