The 100-foot-long, single-span structure is four feet higher at its center than it is at either end, thus the name, “Humpback.” |

| Virginia Safari Park |
Distance from store: 47.2 mi |
 The Virginia Safari Park opened in the spring of 2000 because we felt there was a need and desire for people to be able to see wild animals in a much more natural environment than had previously been available. At VSP you'll be able to see animals run and frolic with abandon ... or block your path ... or lay flat-out in the sun ... the choice will be theirs; they are free to roam—no pacing back and forth in front of a barred exhibit! Our staff is dedicated to helping our guests appreciate the beauty of our animals in the beautiful and natural setting of the Shenandoah Valley. We encourage interaction by allowing visitors to feed the animals with our specialty grain. Come experience the fun. Call now to book your group tour. Contact Carrie Miller 540-291-3205 ext. 10.
