Big cat habitat, really nice place. Saw lots of tigers and other animals. Monkey, birds, lion,bear, turtles. They had 2 shows that we watched as well. Birds show and tigers show both very good and funny. Would recommend going.

We went as a family, each found a part of the habitat they loved. I loved all of it. The staff are friendly and pleasant. The animals are well taken care of. I highly recommend the experience.

If you want to just see big cats, then this place surely has them. The animals are beautiful and looked pretty healthy. The admission is $25 a head and it is certainly not worth that. The place is very small. The cages are so small, although they say they meet state standards. Why I really gave such a poor score is the fact that they claim to be a sanctuary/animal welfare. The actions didn't seem to support this claim. They had the big cats performing, they encouraged people to buy food on a stick to stab at the big cats, they charge for private animal encounters, they have their animals reproduce, etc. These "events" all seem a little Tiger King like to me and not animal sanctuary/animal welfare like.

Or first visit was a Saturday in July 2023. The staff was very friendly to us. There are a lot more animals besides big cats. They literally had lions and tigers and bears. They have snacks and drink options from their vendor. We caught a show at 2 PM that was fun to watch. The day we went it started to thunder and we quickly checked out as much as we could before running out for two possible lightning. I'll have to suggest this place to visitors as a cool place to see. Nice that it is local.

Nice that they have a place to see retired performance animals but they could have given them larger areas to live in. The animals seem to be taken care of. Kudos for giving veterans free entry.
