AMAZING PLACE and AMAZING STAFF!!!! Way better then the zoo hands down! You are so close to all the animals, shaded and can pet so many that you can’t even get close to at the zoo! Place looks small but is huge! Not expensive at all should be a lot more for everything there! Zip lines, playgrounds, horse and pony rides! Definitely will be getting annual pass!!! I think I had more fun then my kids lol!

5 year old had a blast. Had to get 2nd ticket for pony ride he really loved it. Train ride was fun for all. They also have a very small train for children only. Definitely will go again.

This is the best place to take your kids we drove 45 minutes to get here. The staff are very friendly and care about the animals. My 5 year old had a blast the price is not bad either tons of things to do you could spend hours there so many animals!!

What a unique find! I was expecting a small farm with a few animals, but this sanctuary far exceeded our expectations! They have so many unique animals and lots of opportunities for interaction with them! The staff was kind and laid back. My kids especially loved the talking parrots at the entrance! The first one says hello and goodbye and has the funniest laugh! Thanks for a great day:)

Have approximately 15 or more baby ducks born this morning. Mama is with them but they won't make it around here because of the gator, snapping turtles and hawks that have killed all the others. We lost maybe 50 baby ducks I want these to be safe.

You might give them a call. If they can't take them they may know of someone else who can.

Is this a good place to bring my almost 2 year old and my 8 month old to learn about animals?

ConnerMan TV | Aug 19, 2018
Michelle M Schachter | Aug 19, 2018

The place is nice but it is self-guided. There is a variety of animals. There are no paved areas. If you go wear comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting dirty, and closed toe shoes.
