What visitors say
We had booked a trip and had accidentally showed up this morning at 9 am thinking we had a tour. It ended up as the best tour day ever!! Marcia showed up and told us they were actually closed, but she offered to give us a tour anyway.…
Amazing place. The people there are nice, the animals are well taken care of, and there is such a huge diversity of them, too. To be frank, most of the animals eat healthier foods that look and are better than the stuff we humans eat.…
Wonderful preserve with caring people! Their mission is clear - education and providing a lifelong home for exotic animals. The animals are all well cared for and relaxed.
