Good time. lots of different animals to see. Folks, do not listen to the WHINERS, one said its dirty, YEP, animals WALK on dirt, also, live in Dirt. Animals had plenty of food, and water. We are in Florida, yep, it gets hot here. Animals DO NOT get air conditioned suites! Support the Animals.

I'm really conflicted about this place. I do appreciate that they are saving animals and that it's very expensive. But for $25 it's really small. The cages are old school with lots of concrete and bars, and they are small. Like a zoo you would have visited in the 70's. You do get to see many of the animals up close, but you see them through multiple layers of bars.

This was an ideal activity to do with my 12 year old grandson. Looking for something to engage him (other than his phone… amiright?) and this was really good. Not too long (allow about 3 hours with shows), very interactive with the animals, and can go at your own pace.

We were very disappointed in the animal show. Way to much talking and not enough action. A short video about the animal rights groups was shown which did not interest our 4 & 6 year old grandchildren at all. Take kids to Sarasota Jungle Gardens instead, much better experience!

This is run on a smaller budget than your typical big city zoos - and it shows in terms of lack of nice habitat for caged animals. I mean, they're kept in very basic caged environments; however, you can really get up close to the cats, the bears, etc., and, can even feed them for an extra fee. My family paid a few hundred bucks for the five of us to enjoy about 45 minutes with a close up, in the cage encounter, with a couple of really cool Lemurs. Check out the added fee encounter choices . . . wolves, Lemurs, Carical cats . . . neat option. If you have the bucks worth it. So; in short, unlike zoos with the cats (lions and tigers and bears oh my!) often being at a distance from the viewing area, and sometimes not visible at all . . . here you WILL see the animals up close through the caging. Sometimes just a few feet from you. So that parts cool. Otherwise, the place could use an infusion of a few million to pick up the quality of the animal habitat etc.,

Been to a few Big Cat rescues in FL, this is by far the best kept one. Habitat areas are larger, clean, and it looks more like a Zoo, in a positive way! It is obvious they get a lot of financial support. they even do two shows which was nice. Animals are well cared for and amazing to see so close.
