A nonprofit wild animal sanctuary and educational facility. During your tour you will see rescued animals ranging from big cats, bears and wolves to primates, bats and more.
The animals come from inappropriate situations as attempted pets, mistreated, abandoned or used in research. They are all living the rest of their lives in a natural setting with playmates of their own kind at our non-breeding sanctuary.
As a TRUE sanctuary, we respect the privacy and dignity of the animals. Visitors are extremely limited and allowed exclusively by guided tours given in the sanctuary vehicle. Twice a month, no more than four people at a time can visit.
Tours lasting roughly 90 minutes are scheduled through the sanctuary's website and cost $50 per person. This is a unique opportunity to see a variety of exotic animals close up without continuing to protect them from exploitation so the they can experience the true meaning of "sanctuary."
