This little zoo is so cute! They have quite a few animals to see. You can also pay a little extra and get a VIP tour, which allows you to get up close and personal with the bigger animals! The tour guide clearly had a good relationship with them, as he called them by name and a lot of them even let him pet them! If you’re in the area, you should really stop in and check them out.

Love the Buffalo Park. We are so fortunate to have this in Tupelo! If youve never been, theres a lot more than buffalo. They have ostriches, zebras, giraffes, ponies, and more. Great place to have a birthday party, take a class field trip, or spend an hour or two to get out of the house and away from electronics.

The park is full of amazing animals. Even with Corona restrictions the self drive tour was great and my 8 year old granddaughter had loads of fun feeding them

Way too expensive for what it is. A good place for a family outing if you have extra money to burn. The staff was friendly and helpful

I have been here once and that was this past Fathers day. Sadly, we didnt get to go into the zoo part, but we did enjoy driving into the park and feed all the animals. My children truly had a great time.

It was a great experience. Everyone needs to go and do this.

Buffalo park was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I learn so much about buffalo and wild animals. I was even face to face with a field of buffalo. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff and I really enjoyed myself here. You can feed some of the animals and walk yourself around or take the buffalo tour tram. My one complaint is that I wish some of the enclosures were bigger for the animals

Animals looked a little sickly, but its july and the heat was probably affecting them. My daughter loved Dave the camel. He bit a horse on the butt to make him move so he could get the food. It was hilarious

Had a great time everyone very friendly and your up close to the animals highly recommend

It was a little expensive but they were polite and wonderful and we had a blast! Already making plans to go again! Great family experience!

Me and my family truly enjoyed this zoo.

Was fun until me and my friend got attacked by an ostrich

My kid love it .we will be back again

We traveled-- 24,204-- miles in 2018 with our RV. No doubt one of our most fun experiences out of hundreds over 8 months was touring the TUPELO BUFFALO PARK AND ZOO in Mississippi. We have recited our adventure there with so many friends, relatives and fellow RVers ever since. Your kids will love it, too. Highly recommend to all ages!! We plan to return in October this year when the RV returns from the western states back into south Florida for the winter. Cherokee, a large buffalo/bison, is wonderful around people!! Feed him and you are friends for life:)

Took the VIP tour and had a great experience. Winter so a lot of the animals in the caged part were not out

Awesome we loved loved it

Super fun. Vip your was great. I dont remember his name, but that tour guide was amazing and fun. Give that dude a raise. The pumpkin patch was a great addition.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We got to walk through at our own pace. It was a little cold and windy so some of the animals were not out, but they tell you that up front. It was a nice little family fun day!

Took the guided trolley tour. Animals seem well cared for, guide offered some insight in to their care. Walk around portion was a little small and seemed almost like it was simply and exotic pet shop. Tiger enclosure was extremely small, but they did say that they were building a much larger enclosure for them. Decent playground for children ( 12 and under) to burn off some energy. Tourist trap money making parts like the zip line and bounce table cost extra.Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Animals well cared for, albeit some with small enclosures.

We had so much fun here. I would definitely reccomend the VIP Tour. You get to be right next to the bigger animals. All of the staff we met were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

My daughter was visiting from Washington DC, and she wanted to visit Buffalo Park!! Due to Covid-19, the inside of the park was closed,, BUT, we were able to drive thru Zoo We bought buckets to feed the animals too. We got to feed all so many different kinds of animals. We had an AWESOME TiME, we laughed a lot, as well as, were amazed being able.to see the animals in there natural habitat.

Nice place with wonderful and friendly workers! Plenty of things for kids to see or play on. They have a jumpy pillow and multiple play areas. The bison tour is very informative and a fun little ride. They also have a pony ride. Little girl (monkey) was my sons favorite, as you could call her name and she would come climb on the fence by you. You could tell that all of their animals were well taken care of and a little spoiled.

This is a place I love to take my grandkids about 6 or 7 times a year.i worked at a childcare and we would take the kids every year..the reason I did not give it a 5 is because in march me and my husbands took a day by our selfs for our anniversary,I was telling him about the VIP tours which I love... so we decided to go and take the tour I was excited to do this with no kids. All we was going to do was the VIP tour and it was going to coast us 60 dollars . They said that you have to pay for the whole park even though we was not going the zoo. So we did not go.then they called me about 45 min later and said if I was willing to pay the 60 dollars we could come back they had a opening. We said no thank you.

I really enjoyed myself at this park. Many of the animals where friendly and seemed to enjoy the attention. Most of the animals also looked happy/content which is a big plus with me and zoos.

Had so much fun on my daughters last kindergarten field trip. Friendly and helpful staff lots of stuff for the kids to do and see!

It was such a fun visit!! Vanessa took us on the VIP tour. She did an amazing job!! She was very knowledgeable, and seemed very comfortable. I got some amazing pictures, and great fun facts about the animals we were seeing. It was a tad warm, and I would suggest bug spray before going, but other than that it was a wonderful day!!

It was a great experience. Did the VIP tour it was awesome. The tour guide was highly acknowledge of everything. Highly recommend doing the VIP.

Small but fun. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

I love this place! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Very friendly staff and pretty animals

Amazing place for family fun

Very boring in comparison to other drive through zoos. Drove a distance too see this zoo and was highly disappointed. This was supposed to be one of the largest drive thru zoos but didnt have much to see.

Wonderful place to visit. I recommend the being the scene tour its well worth the money.

I got to feed Buffalo! I definitely recommend the VIP experience to get up close and personal with the animals. This was a great day trip from Memphis.

Beautiful family time, very relaxing to view the animals. Purchased a nice souvenir, a hiking stick!!!

Such an awesome place! I highly recommend doing the VIP tour. You get super close to the animals and even get to feed them if you purchase the food! The staff was super friendly and even let my daughter help with feeding a calf. Also buy the thing of feed. We fed animals on the walking trail and used it on the VIP tour. We will definitely be back!

The park and staff are always nice. We did the VIP tour, which I recommend. The gentleman was very kind and showed us several animals up close.

Great place, friendly staff!

We really had a great time. It’s kind of expensive but My kids and wife enjoyed every minute of it. It’s something to do during this covid19 outbreak since we have to stay in the car.

Knowledgeable tour guide (worth the buffalo tour and trolley ride), clean, respectful employees and well-cared for animals. I liked that it wasn’t about shoving animals in your face. If the zebras are nearby, they are. If they aren’t, you’ll see something else cool. We’ll go again. Bring cash for tips.

Great family day! Very friendly staff! Scott really helped give a personal touch to our visit by engaging and explaining some of the animals on a personal level; it was apparent he was knowledgeable and loved what he does. We would recommend to anyone who has a couple hours in the area. It could take less time but the animals are active, so you will want to stay a while! The gift shop also has reasonable prices on items!

Was pushed to the side at every turn because they catered to a school field trip. Was even asked to move into a corner in the middle of our lunch so they could sit down. I tried very politely and friendly to leave some constructive criticism without asking for any of my $100 back, only to be chased down at the front door on my way out by the owner to be told “sorry about everything but you always had the option of not coming.” Will definitely be going anywhere but back there on future family trips.

Too expensive and not enough to see for the price

Love this place its a great place to visit and take your children to.

Love it, cant wait to go back!!

At first glance this may seem like a small zoo with only a few animals, and some staff but I can assure you it’s so much more. You can see the smiles on the animals’ faces. You can tell that they are loved. And you can tell that the people who work there care about what they’re doing and the animals who are there. After an unfortunate event, you can see the beauty in the people that work there. Our trip from Florida to Mississippi for a swim meet wasn’t ruined, instead you enlightened it. You let us see the true heart of the people that work there, how life means connection and passion to everything you do. There was never a need to say sorry, in fact thank you for everything.You’re welcome to see us anytime you’re around Sheila, to new friendsWith love from: Jill, Isiah, Imriel, Eva, and the Cooper City cyclones family we’re sending many more hugs

This place was so much fun. It was a little cool when we went so there were few people. The staff made us feel welcome. The animals were great.

This place is great! Good variety of animals, and a very welcoming staff!!

Awesome!!! Great times.

A fun place to take your kids. Must do the VIP tour to get up and close to animals.

Interesting place to visit. I liked being able to ride out and get so close to some of the animals.

Had the best day ever at this little zoo. Got up close and personal with my favourite animal for $12!!!

We didnt do the buffalo your, a little bit pricy. We did the zoo and my two year old had a blast seeing and feeding some of the different animals. Not a big zoo but enough to thrill little ones. Little pricy for whst you get though

Our first time visiting! Such a great place! We will definitely be back!

Loved it, an absolutely stellar trip if I may say so myself, we were in town from a fossil hunt and came across things to do in Tupelo and this was #1 so we decided to see, and let me tell you, glad we did such a great place, make sure you do the ViP tour its $10 and you can get super close rather than stuck in a bus viewing from a distance it makes the experience that much better, I never thought Id be face to face with 1,000 + lb bison but here I am, what an amazing experience to be in the presence of these majestic creatures. Anthony our tour guide was top notch when telling us about the animals. The whole place was great and I would definitely recommend trying this place at least once. Im forever grateful to get to have an experience like this instead of just seeing them on programs and in pictures.

We really enjoy animal shows and zoos so this place was awesome! Took about an hour, had beautiful weather too!

Beautiful place to visit very entertaining for adults and children. The staff is awesome and very informative about all of the animals in the zoo. They have a lot to offer as far as events you may have coming up. Cant wait to go back.

The VIP tour alone is worth the trip. Our host & staff were amazing. Everyone was very friendly & knowledgeable, and the facilities were clean. AND the animals ... awesome.

We had a fun time looking around at everything, even if we did go during an off season. Animals were well cared for and staff was extremely friendly

Love seeing the animals and the tours are fantastic and very educational! Staff is very kind and helpful.

We enjoyed it very much. There is a plaground and bounce thing. Horse tire swings, private areas for parties, and a covered wagon ride.

Definitely do the VIP tour! Worth every penny!

This is a great and unique place to bring your family

~Awesome family experience! A must do for all animal loving families! Our family visited today. Our first time being here in years. Pure wholesomeness! This has made our trip! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very pleasurable!

Enjoyed this even though it is really more of a zoo. Lots of different types of animals not as many buffalo as cattle even long horns. Nice staff with big smiles.

Grandchildren loved it

Fun place for all ages

Amazing! Super friendly staff, and an incredible variety of animals you don’t typically see. Worth the stop!

Something everyone needs to experience at least once. Completely awesome.

Great interactions with animals. Tour guide was just the best!

We came from Alabama, had 2 of our granddaughters with us. We waited 15 minutes to pay because the lady at the register was on the phone. It was a personal call because she was on the phone with a doctors office about her sons eye glasses. She never got off the phone to help. She then placed a call to a family or friend while taking our money. The park is small. Our guide for the bison tour was great. Very informative. The animals seemed like they had what they needed but the cages were small. The tigers were beautiful, I sure hope they get the new home built for them soon. Sad to see them in such a small space. Our granddaughters loved it. Glad we got to feed the bison with them. Just disappointed in the size.

We picked a very hot day to visit. Other than that we had fun on the tour train. They have a wide variety of animals and our grandchildren fed a few of them. We can see how they need money to support all the animals here. The swings were a nice ending to cool off the kids. The entrance is a ticket store and we got snowcones and the girls love their giraffe and tiger on a leash. I wish they had benches through the petting zoo side to rest in the shade.

Very personable staff. Primarily a former Buffalo farm that has transitioned to a rescue center for various types of wildlife. You are able to get relatively close to the animals.

The giraffes were great. Family really enjoyed the VIP tour.

Its great for a family day.. You can walk through out the whole park to see all the animlas.. they also have a Playground for the kids swings and little activities where kids can push buttons and it tells about certain landmarks and tribes. You can purchase a bag of food for $1 to feed the animals as u walk through out the zoo. I can have parties n birthday reserve there.. Its a all around great place to visit for a day of Family Fun

We loved it and had a great time.

I recommend you take the VIP tour get you up close and you get to learn a lot about the animals..

The buffalos here are water buffalos, not the American bison that is pictured on the sign. The only way you can see them is if you pay an extra $10 for the ride on the trolley. We walked through it in 30 to 45 minutes. It does have a nice childrens play area.

Great folks. Beautiful environment and exotic critters

Very well maintained.a little overpriced. It only takes about half an hour to go thru but the grandkids enjoyed it and it wasnt too much for my handicap husband.

Like the place but it needs more directions on where you start and what’s second and on. Also some of the staff could of at least try to go out side to see if everything was going well or if they need any assistance on anything the we purchase tickets for the horse ride and no one was even there are we supposed to do it our self’s other than that it was a great place my daughter loved the animals we had a great time together trying to figure out where the trail starts and we saw everything more twice because we didn’t know what way to go

Was a fun experience with my kids. Get to feed animals food purchased in gift shop. Was disappointed in a few of the exhibits due to size for animals best interests but am understanding that the facility is currently expanding and improving continuously. Had a blast visiting the many animals and their individual personalities. The other attractions here are intended for much younger and smaller humans; however, the safari ride within the buffalo fields and all around was amazing and so worth the trip. Will visit again and again to help preserve the zoo. Very reasonable prices for admission, other attractions, and gifts/souvenirs. Will be neat to watch this place evolve each year.

So much fun! We started with the VIP tour. Our guide was amazing and knew so much. We got to hand-feed a 3500 lb buffalo. We then did the walk-thru zoo and saw some cool animals for sure. Everyone was super nice. We got to meet the owners and you can tell they love their animals. We also did the horseback trail ride. Our guides were two of the best guys we’ve met in a long time. The horses are beautiful. We will definitely go back.

The whole experience was awesome. Kind and friendly employees!!!

Fantastic experience, staff so warm and helpful! We all enjoyed from our 10 yr old to our 1st yr MSST student!! Such a nice experience and they are obviously working hard to expand the animal exhibits. Giraffes, Bisson and Ostriches OH MY!

Interesting

We loved this park. Took the trolley ride through the pastures which was great, seeing the animals on pasture rather than in cages was a beautiful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals. We plan on going again next year while visiting our daughter.

Must-try The outdoor activities vip ride

Fun, but alot of stuff was closed as far as animals and also activities for the kids

Good 2 to 3 hours. Recommend the tractor ride to feed the camels and buffalo. Not too crowded, great for kids 1 to 10!

Kids love it. Interesting for family outings.

Fun place. I highly recommend the VIP tour!

This is awesome place kids love it and I did too being that close to a giraffe

Amazing park ! little pricey depending on what you get but they have EXCELLENT bathrooms & you can tell the animals aren’t sad. you can buy tours & feed the animals.

Tupelo Buffalo Park is a pretty neat place to visit, especially if you have kids. However, its rather pricey and there really arent just a whole lot of animals or things to do-somewhat of a rip-off! The zebras are cool and SO are the giraffes. And at one particular visit(my childs school field trip), we got to see(and hold) an extremely intelligent, well-mannered, well-behaved, HIGHLY-TRAINED monkey(or maybe it was a gibbon). And where they REALLY get you(take all your money) is in the gift shop(also the only way to exit the park). Your children will want EVERYTHING!! So be sure to bring a loaded wallet!

Absolutely amazing place - if you have time to do the VIP tour it is well worth it!!

Very run down. Very expensive. Not worth the money.

I took my 3 year old. It was close to closing time. The lady at the front was nice and acted just as excited as my son was. It was pretty clean. The bathrooms probably could have been cleaned but then again it was very close to closing time, maybe thats on the closing to do list. The only issue we had was the HORRIBLE smells around the monkeys and lion cages. It was pretty bad, so we skipped that area of the park. Overall though my son enjoyed himself. We didnt get to go on the wagon ride or ride the ponys since it was so close to closing. I would recommend this place to friends.*Also most of the park was stroller friendly.

Great place we took our grandkids they had a blast
