Fun With Animals At

Lake of the Ozarks

Sunrise Beach Safari is a small, family-run zoo in the Lake of the Ozarks area. We provide a hands-on experience that's a lot of fun for kids and adults alike!

We are located at the intersection of TT and MM, not far from the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge, in between Sunrise Beach and Osage Beach. Our offering includes a petting zoo from May to November, as well as animal encounters all year round (by appointment only outside the summer season). We're always on the lookout for new animals, so you'll want to come back and see what you might find.

Romeo

A guest named him Romeo because he's such a lover. Romeo is super sweet and loves attention.

Pickles

We got Pickles the alpaca as a baby. He can be a little shy so it's better to let him come to you.

Noah

Noah has a lot of experience with petting zoos. He'll throw a whole cup of a food back if you let him.

Rudy

Rudy is a male red kangaroo. If he's not lazing about you can find him playing with his jumper ball.

What People Are Saying

We had just as much fun as our little girl at the safari and animal encounters! She also loved the pony ride! The owners were so friendly and educated us about the animals. The encounters were very fun and the highlight of our visit.

We got to hold Sydney the baby sloth tonight. Omg what an experience. Many, oh so many, pics to follow. Thank you so much Jerry & Tonia and the Sunrise Beach Safari for an incredible evening!!!

Shelly Davenport

Our experience was amazing the animals were so sweet and the babies absolutely precious. The owners were so friendly. You can tell they really love each and everyone of their animals. Thanks to the owners for taking the time to answer all the questions we had and also educating us on the animals they had.
