💡 Did You Know?
- Star Eco Station houses 200+ rescued birds, reptiles, and other animals, many of which come from owner surrenders, illegal trafficking situations, or were found on the side of the road
- Many animals at the facility are available for adoption, making it both a rescue center and adoption resource rather than a traditional display-only museum
- The facility operates a 'Museum on Wheels' educational outreach program in addition to on-site tours and summer camps
- Star Eco Station offers hands-on interaction during tours, allowing visitors to touch and handle select animals with knowledgeable staff guidance
💬 What Visitors Say
- Arrive right at 10am on weekends to catch the first hourly tour and avoid crowds, as tours fill up throughout the day and the facility is only open Saturday-Sunday for public visits
- Plan for 1.5-2 hours total: tours are hourly but the facility is compact, and guides pull out 4+ animals for hands-on interaction during each tour, making it an intimate experience
- The reptile area features a vast variety of species in large enclosures, and the aviary area is particularly beautiful—prioritize these exhibits if you have limited time or young children who tire easily
- Book a weekday field trip ($12/child, $14/adult) if you're with a group of 15+ people, as it's more affordable than weekend public tours and offers the same knowledgeable tour guide experience
- Tour guides are highly knowledgeable and develop real relationships with the animals—ask them about individual animal rescue stories and adoption opportunities, which reviewers found to be the most engaging part of the experience
