The big cats were stunning to see in person. The guide was friendly and did a good job of informing us of the issues surrounding cats in captivity without terrifying the young ones. We got to see many cat personalities shine and we learned so much. You could really tell that the rescues were well cared for and it was obvious that the staff values the cats health and happiness above all else. As a last minute stop on our road trip it was my favorite.

This was the most awesome place I've ever been to! It was so cool getting to see those big cats close up. We had taken the riding tour & it was fantastic.

-Jennifer M

Wonderful experience! Staff was very knowledgeable and so caring towards every animal and their individual needs. We were surprised to see so many different animals, not just big cats, but hybrid dog/wolf pack, horses, pig, lemurs, snake and more. They exceeded our expectations and we will be back 😁
