There's more than 500 exotic animals at Franklin Drive Thru Safari and many of the animals are just as happy to see you, as you are to see them.
The safari is always adopting more exciting animals to their petting zoo and 100+ acre drive through animal adventure park, so you'll want to come back time and time again.
