    I was wondering, if you don’t have a car and want to visit one of those drive-through safaris, could you get an Uber/Lyft/other ride-sharing service to drive you through the park? You’d probably have to pay them extra, though.

    Some do tour buses, but it’s a very different experience.

    I imagine that would up to the driver you get, I doubt the zoo would have a problem with it.

    During the pandemic I'd not want to be stuck inside a closed vehicle with some driver for any period of time!

    I think the best vehicle for a drive-through Safari would be the Popemobile. 360-degree views, and no distortion with photography, unlike the Jurassic World gyrosphere.

    Really would depend on the driver, and what they might hold you liable for if there was damage to the car. I took a rental through one and I was so worried about damage.
