Wild Animal Adventures

First thing, do not waste your money on the lemur encounter! You give them 10 pieces of human baby food, and then that’s it. You sit there while they eat it out of the cup they give you and after 2 minutes it’s over with. The girl working the area will rush you out as well. I sat back down to let the lemurs come around me after standing and she starting opening the gate to let us out. We were not even in there 5 minutes. We were told by the lady we purchased the ticket from that it is a 30 minute encounter. We went and told the same lady working the front desk and her response was “sorry you feel that way” and “it just depends how the lemurs feel. We base the interaction off of them.” How can we be told 30 minute encounter and get a 5 minute encounter? There was no refund offered or anything of the sort. One of the lemurs, was apparently a “spicy” one. The girl kept telling us not to touch her or take the little treats away from her or she will bite you. She said don’t move around or she will bite you. Maybe there shouldn’t be a hostile lemur in there with people, that made the 5 minute experience so much fun, being told to watch out for that lemur. Other than that I love the park and this is my second time coming, due to loving it so much. There were quite a few animals that were alone, they seemed pretty lonely and bored. Just pacing. The sheep needs to be shaved, it has feces hanging under its stomach with thick hair. I love how clean they keep the park and the animals cages are clean and their water also. It’s very fun other than the lemur encounter. Which is a waste of money. $50 for two people to access the park and the lemurs “encounter”.

WOW! This was my fiancé and I’s first time here and it was absolutely incredible. It was such a unique “zoo” experience and it was a slower day making it all the more special. We got to meet and speak to the owner and she was amazing and we got to hear wonderful stories about how she acquired the animals in the first place and took them from not so great situations and gave them a forever home. It is such a hidden gem and I would recommend anyone to go and visit!

Loved this hidden gem in Missouri! We got to feed and pet most of the animals and that made it so much more awesome! Big variety of animals, close up and personal! Animals looked happy and healthy, well fed with lots of activities in their habitats. The zoo grounds were clean, well marked with sitting benches, hammocks and even a "flower bed" to sit and rest! Lots of side gardens for bees and butterflies made it a pretty setting! All animals had signs of information and history of the animals at each habitat! Lived our visit here! Will definitely revisit and recommend!

OK, so it was my first time visiting this place so I didn’t know what to expect however, when I got to the very front counter, I could tell that it was an extremely wonderful place. The people were amazing in so many ways, they were constantly watching out for a little ones, there and answer any questions that we may have they have a lot of knowledge on the animals at their exhibit and was more than happy to share it with each and every person there. I haven’t been at a place like that and so long to where they don’t only make you feel like a customer they make you feel like family it was a great experience for the family this weekend and I think everybody should try it!!! I want to thank you all as the wild animal adventures it was amazing and you all work extremely hard and I appreciate what you guys do

There isn't much I could say that hasn't already been said, but here goes: these animals are very well cared for and the staff is amazing with animals and visitors alike. They are very informative, and it is such a friendly environment. Not to mention every enclosure has signage with various info such as the animal's breed, name, and instructions for visitors on what to do or what not to do. We watched a staff member play with the male lion like he was a dog or cat, and then the staff member gave my daughter a tuft of hair that came from the lion's mane. It was so cool! Plus there is such a wide variety of animals/species here that my family and I all had a hard time deciding which was our favorite. There are cool little areas throughout such as a kid's play area, hammocks, picnic tables etc. The gift shop had some small little snack bags like chips and goldfish. And dip 'n dots. 10/10 would go here again and again. Lots of fun!
