Harmony Park Safari closes after 30 years

MADISON Co., Ala. (WAFF) - The drive-through zoo that was home to many “exotic and endangered” animals has closed after 30 years of operation.

Harmony Park Safari was a mix of a drive-through zoo with some hands-on animal encounters. There were a variety of animals you could see and you could even feed some.

If you call the park’s phone number, the answering machine confirms the park has closed after 30 years. According to a spokesperson for the United States Department of Agriculture, the park still has an active certification.

There was an incident in 2017 at the park when a 9-year-old girl was attacked by a kangaroo. The child had to get 14 stitches in her head because of the attack and a lawsuit was filed.
