If you're looking for a family adventure that's a little on the wild side, what about a drive-thru wildlife safari? Certainly cheaper than a trip to Africa. Aggieland Wild Animal Safari in the Bryan area calls itself the "Serengeti of the South." The park sits on 250 acres with room to grow and has been open for just under two years with roughly 700 animals. "A lot of our animals in the pasture, they are actively breeding, and this is calving season," explained Assistant Pasture Manager Bonner Watson.
