On Wednesday, went to Lion Country Safari, which is a drive-thru safari park and a walk-through park in Palm Beach County. Due to the pandemic, only the drive-thru portion is open right now.
Lion Country Safari dates from 1967. The park consists of over 1000 animals in seven sections. Most animals can come directly up to the car, the exception being the lions, who were separated from the public by a fence in 2005 because visitors would not follow instructions and keep their doors and windows closed.
There were previously five other Lion Country Safaris operated by them, but the last closed in the 90s. There are several other companies offering a similar product in various parts of the US. It seems like a great business in the pandemic. You never have to touch anyone.
I was a bit surprised that their solution for contactless payment is eventbrite, but it worked out.
