💬 What Visitors Say
- Call ahead to schedule your visit in advance. Dan, the owner, leads tours personally and may not be available for walk-ins, so booking ensures you get the full experience with his personal insights about the animals he's raised.
- Plan for 40 minutes to an hour for your tour. This intimate, guided experience is led by the owner personally, so you'll get detailed stories about each animal's background and rescue history rather than just basic facts.
- Bring your young children—even toddlers as young as 1 year old can participate in hands-on activities like feeding tortoises. The staff is accommodating and supervisory, making it a memorable interactive experience for kids.
- Take advantage of the interactive animal encounters. You can touch and pet most of the friendly animals (including Wallabies and Patagonian Maras), which is a unique opportunity you won't get at larger traditional zoos, though some animals have restrictions due to safety regulations.
- If you're within an hour's drive from Syracuse, Rochester, or Ithaca, this rescue facility is worth the trip. You'll support local wildlife rehabilitation efforts and see rescued animals like turtles, snakes, alligators, and exotic mammals in a facility where care and love for the animals is evident.
