One of the most unique petting zoos in Texas, the Franklin Drive Thru Safari is a 100-acre property filled with exotic animals like zebras, giraffes, and monkeys. Visitors are welcome to drive their own cars through the property, but if you want to learn more about the animals and how they're cared for, you can also book a private guided tour. Kids will also love hand feeding the animals, and feed can be purchased from the gift shop. For an extra-special experience, you can also pay to enter the baby animal room, where you can interact one-on-one with a variety of adorable animals.
