💬 What Visitors Say
- Plan to arrive early and allow 2-3 hours for your visit. The sanctuary is larger than it appears with animals spread throughout, and the walking path ends at a well-maintained playground that kids will want to explore.
- Bring a picnic lunch to maximize your visit—the venue has a picnic area and you can take your time without rushing through. This also saves money on food costs compared to most attractions.
- Visit on Mother's Day (May 10th) for free admission for moms with a child. Otherwise, check if you're eligible for the April 1st pricing update as admission is very affordable at $15 adults/$10 children.
- Attend Critter Fun Day (6/13/26, 9:00am-12:00pm) for ages 5-12 to get hands-on junior animal keeper experiences and feeding demonstrations with staff—this significantly enhances the educational value. Pre-registration is required.
- Young children stay highly engaged during the walk through animal habitats without realizing they're exercising. The combination of diverse rescued animals (bears, tigers, foxes, peacocks, monkeys) and the playground at the end makes this ideal for families with small kids.
