Living in Ontario, I can't count the number of times I've seen the commercial. It's aired so often that I can even sing the jingle! My parents took us there only once when I was young, but it was a lot of fun. I remember a monkey climbing onto our station wagon and ripping the siding from the car!
When I moved to Vancouver, I remember seeing the same commercial on TV. Two weeks ago, I asked a friend of mine if he'd ever heard of it. He told me he's seen the commercials and thought it was in the States, or Africa, or some tropical area. I laughed and told him it was in Ontario, of all places!

Just today I saw the commercial again and I tried to watch it from a perspective of a native Vancouverite. And then I realized it isn't clear WHERE the
African Lion Safari is located. What the heck are they doing showing the same commercial they show in Ontario, where there is a higher chance of attracting customers, to people who are 4 provinces away? If they're going to advertise, they should at least create a commercial that speaks to those who need to travel a fair distance, and make it clear WHERE it is .
"... African Lion Safari ~ See the animal show!..."
