Wilstem Wildlife Park in French Lick is an amazing place for families to visit. Located in French Lick, Indiana, Wilstem offers so many cool adventures including drive-thru safaris where you can encounter over 50 species of animals, ziplining, horseback riding, lodging, and a variety of interactive animal encounters such as elephants, sloths, kangaroos, giraffes, and grizzlies! You'll find yourself amazed by everything you will come across at the ranch, and they are always adding fun events throughout the year.

For the fifth year in a row, Wilstem will have a fun event for you to check out in the fall. The Fall Festival of Lights returns on October 4th through November 2nd. The shows will begin at dark. This event is a drive-through light show installation through the park, featuring a Halloween town with ghouls, ghosts, witches, spiders, and more. Plus you never know what kind of animals you might see along the way.

New this year will be the addition of the Dinos After Dark feature. Earlier this year, Wilstem announced that on top of the animal safari that you can experience at the park, a new Dinosaur Drive Thru Safari featuring 29 life-size animatronic dinosaurs! That's right, you can feel like you are right in the middle of Jurassic Park (without the dinosaurs trying to hunt you) right here in Southern Indiana. My family and I visited Wilstem for the first time earlier this year and driving through the park and seeing all the animals was such a cool experience. Throw in dinosaurs on top of that, it will be amazing! Here's the cool thing, the Dinosaur Safari is included with your Drive-Thru and Wagon Safari tickets. So essentially it's two parks for the price of one!

So, when it comes to the fall light show this year, you can experience the dinosaur safari too. According to Wilstem:

Experience the Fall Light Show + NEW Dinos after dark in your personal vehicle.  You will view our Fall and Halloween themed light show which now includes a new Dinos After Dark feature.  See & hear animated, life-size dinosaurs lit up with colors, fog, and sounds which are sure to get your adrenaline pumping!
