We love the Safari park in Natural bridge area. You drive through and feed the animals and then can go through the small zoo.

City advice
Getting around
Need a car
*To see the sights you do need a car.
What to pack
Bring Mosqiito and tick spray
This area of Virginia has lots of ticks when hiking. Make sure you spray yourself!!! We have our yard sprayed. But when off property just beware that its good to be safe in this with spray.
