Aloha Safari Zoo
Drive-through safari 20 minutes from Pinehurst. Feed zebras, camels, and buffalo from your car.
A drive-through safari about 20 minutes from Pinehurst in Cameron. You feed animals from your car — zebras, camels, buffalo, and more. Kids absolutely love it, and adults enjoy it more than they expect to.
It’s not a polished theme park experience, and that’s part of the charm. It feels like a real family-run operation in the middle of the North Carolina countryside. Bring extra food tokens — one round is never enough.
