Took my mother (she loves animals) and children for a Mother's Day adventure and this was the best trip ever! In her own words: "It is 100 times better than a zoo". You get your own very knowledgeable tour guide (we had Sam, who was a sweetheart and very patiently and informatively answered all my 6-year old twin boys' questions),... More

This is a great place to visit for anyone at any age. It is not a business so they do things differently. You have to make a reservation and pay with a credit card over the phone. This is because they give private tours only. The tour was worth every penny. Our guide Sam's passion for her job and the... More

The people really cared about the animals, i can tell everyone who worked there loved wildlife and took care of all the animals there. I would definately go again and reccomend it to everyone.Our tour... More

Our family had a great time at McCarthy's Wildlife Sanctuary. Our tour guide Aneth showed her love for ALL the animals. She talked to them which was fantastic. The animals were very responsive. The sanctuary was clean! We would definitely recommend over a large zoo. It was a perfect worth while and educational experience. More

Went with two adults on a quiet weekday in May 2012. There were only 4 people on our tour so we finished the tour in about an hour and 40 minutes. With more people, I think it takes about two hours to go through. Admission was 25 dollars for adults and it was well worth it. Had to make reservations... More

My husband & I have been coming down to the West Palm Beach area for around 30 years, but we had never heard about the McCarthy Wildlife Refuge until my niece apprised us of its existence. Our tour today was with a knowledgeable young woman named Sam whose enthusiasm for her job made me want to steal it from her!... More

We had some friends in town from New York this past weekend. We decided to take them to McCarthy's Wildlife Santuary. What a great experience. Our guide was Kara. She was friendly, outgoing and very knowledgeable. She told us the story for each and every animal there, including where they came from, their name, where they got their name, their... More

This was a great attraction! Not only did we get to see so many different animals but the work the McCarthys are doing of animal rescue and rehabilitation is fantastic. They really care! Our guide, Kara was very bubbly and clearly knows the animals but above all, she loves and cares about them. Definitely a must see. More

We were recently in West Palm for five days with our two daughers - ages 7 and 10. This is literally the only thing that we did there other than spending time at the beach because of the high ratings received on this site. It was a spectacular experience for everyone with even some time to touch and feel -... More
