Global Wildlife Center – Folsom, Louisiana

Head to eastern Louisiana to Global Wildlife, which claims to be the largest totally free-roaming wildlife preserve in the U.S. Its inhabitants include more than 4,000 “exotic, endangered, and threatened” animals.

It offers private tours and safari wagon tours, which the preserve likens to “Africa in Louisiana.” The one hour-plus tour covers 900 acres and promises to bring visitors face to face with bison, giraffes, zebras, camels, elands, and more.

Tickets range from $13 to $19, and many online reviews declare the price well worth it.
