A great place for a family to see the local wildlife. It's not something like a regular zoo where you can see a bunch of animals. It's a great rescue place with a great story behind it. The area is big enough but some of the enclosures are quite small for other wildlife to roam around. Maybe they need more funds. Still, worth a visit.
I just love this place, and bless them for being here and taking care of these animals. My favorite is Spark, she is an extremely loving female bobcat, she was captured as a pet once upon a Time and got big as babies do, and guess what, she's still a wild animal but has been imprinted on humans. Velcro is my next who is also imprinted to humans, I bring her apple slices when I come and she loves it. Never thought you could get close enough to pet a deer...... well step right up, she loves apples.
I loved it being a wild life zoo ! The animals in the exhibit were in good health , especially for the heat of the summer experience. The trail was for the most part easy to follow and self explanatory. However, you could see how time has passed the facility by and some areas need slight improvements, just for scenic sake. The gift shop had typical items for sale. I personally purchased 2 wildlife postcards.
This place was AMAZING! I don’t know who enjoyed it more... my husband and I or our kids. The animals are so smart and beautiful! Such a cool experience seeing the animals so close.
