This is a fun, inexpensive thing to do with your family. I believe you can tent camp also. The animals are well cared for and it is a fun and interesting visit.

I've done this tour and the other sanctuary (not affiliated) that is in St. Augustine. Each is unique and this one seems to have larger housing for the cats and allows photographing.

Cheerful, informative volunteers and a wonderful, dedicated director make a visit here a fantastic opportunity to see a variety of big cats (and others) "up close and personal." We had lived on Amelia Island for four years before we 'discovered' this fantastic oasis just 30 minutes south of us. The baby cubs drew us in, the volunteers captured our imagination...

Cant wait to return! Staff is extremely friendly and the Cats put on a show during feeding time! Very interesting experience!

The up close view with the big cats is terrific and the cheerful volunteers ensure to make your visit is enjoyable. Make sure...

Went last month for the Saturday night feeding and it was great. I have lived here for 6 years and never made it out. We will be definitely going again and bringing the kids along this time!
We are Jacksonville residents, and we LOVE this place. Brought our Grandchildren from Ohio here tonight for the feeding ages, 9, 7 and 2 1/2, and they ALL loved it. Even us Adults enjoyed. Great place, well worth the money. All of the Staff (all Volunteers by the way) are very kind and answer every question anyone asks. And the...

Just got done taking an evening tour and night time feeding on June 8, 2013 Our guide and all of the other volunteers there were so knowledgible and wonderful to interact with. The animals are well cared for and you get so close to them. I am sure I will have many nice pictures and of course great memories. This...

A great place to see tigers, lions, cougars & co. It was really a joy to see how much the staff loves those Animals! If you want to see the cats in action, go there during feeding times!
