Wildlife Safari
Wildlife Safari is a fun-filled family destination where you can view animals in their natural habitat, roaming freely as
they do in the wild. Wildlife Safari includes animals from the three major wildlife areas of the world...Africa, the
Americas and Asia. In addition, we also offer the Safari Village for a more up-close and personal experience with some of
the smaller animals.

Brookings-Harbor
The mildest climate on the coast gives Brookings-Harbor, Oregon, its name of Oregon's Banana Belt. The climate is
temperate all year, with temperatures of 70 degrees common in July or January. Brookings-Harbor is also famous for
growing nearly 90% of America's Easter lilies, and an early summer drive between Brookings-Harbor and Crescent City takes
you through breathtaking views of fields of blooming lilies. Brookings-Harbor is the only spot in the continental U.S.
that was bombed by a foreign power (Japan) in World War II. The bomb site is marked by a monument accessed from the
Bombsite Trail, located about 10 miles inland from Brookings-Harbor on South Bank Road. The pilot of the plane returned to
Brookings twenty years after the bombing during their annual Azalea Festival, and presented the town with his personal
samurai sword. The sword, now on display at Brookings City Hall, had been carried in his plane for good luck.
