Clark Safari and Adventure Park is a 40-hectare wildlife sanctuary and modern zoo that serves as an educational and family-friendly destination housing over 1,500 animals.
Within its expansive grounds, guests can experience a diverse range of wildlife, making it an ideal place for learning and fun for all ages.
Clark Safari and Adventure Park is open from 8:00am to 6:00pm daily, including holidays. Last entry is strictly enforced at 4:00pm.
Arriving early is strongly advised, as the intense midday heat can make traversing the open concrete paths exhausting, and animals tend to be more active in the morning.
Bring sun protection items like umbrellas, caps, and sunglasses, and make sure to pack ample drinking water to keep yourself hydrated.
Bring your own wet wipes and hand sanitizer, or a small bottle of liquid soap, as the soap dispensers in the sink stations near the animal encounter zones can occasionally run out during busy weekends.
The park facilities are fully stroller and wheelchair-accessible.
Tickets can be purchased on site, directly at the gate ticketing booths.

Clark Safari also offers a VIP Tour Experience onboard a tram that costs ₱4,500 per vehicle for up to 10 guests, and ₱5,500 per vehicle for up to 15 guests.
This experience includes a spacious open-air tram vehicle, accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide who will lead you through the exhibits and share engaging educational stories. The tour is structured to last between 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing you to comfortably explore all 23 hectares.
The park features a simple, sequential layout that enables guests to easily navigate through all the attractions and enjoy the activities in an orderly loop.
Exploring the route fully on foot takes about 2 to 3 hours at a relaxed pace. The layout is mostly linear, ensuring you do not miss any exhibits if you follow the path from start to finish.
The entrance pavilion serves as the main welcome hub of Clark Safari and Adventure Park, designed to handle ticketing, security checking, and guest orientation before you enter the actual wildlife loops.
Large printed directory boards are prominently displayed here to help you orient yourself before starting the loop.
This is also where guests can inquire about the add-on activities, feeding sessions schedules, and tram tour availability.
Across this lobby is a welcome display of large lifelike animal sculptures.
On the left is the starting area of the loop, which leads to an open-air courtyard featuring a scenic “lagoon” decorated with massive, colorful, life-sized sculptures of wild creatures such as elephants, dinosaurs, and giraffes.
Reptile Kingdom is the first pavilion you enter after passing the main entrance lagoon. The following animals can be seen inside this zone:

If you continue heading upward along the main path past the animals, you will reach the ascending trail that leads to the Forest Park. This is a rocky, elevated area at the back of the property that offers panoramic views of the surrounding Clark hills.
After crossing the elevated Forest Park overlook, the final leg of the walking loop guides you back toward the exit through these areas.

As the path descends from the hilltop, you will walk past open-air pastures holding the park’s larger grazing animals:

The trail loops back toward the front of the park, ending at the welcome display of animal sculptures from where we started.
Banua Restaurant and Shop
The path naturally leads back into the main pavilion, where the restaurant and souvenir shop are located.
The Banua Restaurant offers al-fresco dining ideal for guests looking to enjoy a quick meal after exploring the park.
The Zoo Shop serves as the final indoor stop, filled with stuffed animals, shirts, and various souvenirs to check out before leaving.
In here also is the photo shop where you can pay for any photos captured by park photographers during your animal interactions.
Shortly after, we headed back to the front entrance parking lot where our journey began.
