The West Coast Game Park Safari is a walk-through safari park in Bandon, Oregon, United States. It opened in 1968,[2] and includes snow leopards, African lions, Bengal tigers, emu, capybara, and cougars.[3] [4]
The park is a petting zoo and captive breeding program, including endangered species such as the snow leopard. They sell and loan big cats to other parks and zoos.[5]
West Coast Game Park Safari is not AZA Accredited.[6] They are a roadside zoo which lets the public interact with big cats, similar to those featured on the Tiger King series. They had multiple USDA violations in 2015 & 2016, including 4 critical violations in their June 22, 2016 inspection report.[7] The critical violations included mishandling adult & baby animals, as well as shooting 2 of their own bears. In 2020 they were listed on PETA's Highway Hellholes: Roadside Zoos on the Blacklist.[8]
In 1985, Bob Tenney, the park owner, stated the game park received 60,000 visitors per year.[9]
Two American black bears from the game park were bought in 2001 and 2002 by Baylor University, whose mascot is the Baylor Bears.[10]
On May 18, 2021, West Coast Game Park Safari was featured in the Showcase on The Price Is Right.
