We went for my daughter’s birthday and it is seriously awesome for all ages! Our tour guide Kham was super nice and knowledgable! He was fun and engaging! The animals and enclosures were very clean and happy! We will definitely be back! Where else can you hold a baby kangaroo!?!

This was an absolutely phenomenal place! It’s a very educational tour of some awesome animals. You can tell the animals are well taken care of and loved. Seeing kangaroos in person and interacting with them and the other animals will be one of my highlights of the year! 5 big stars from us!

Great experience! I was a little skeptical at first, but so glad we went and wouldn’t mind going back sometime. Bobby Jo, the owner, was our guide and she was amazing! She provided us with a very entertaining & informative tour! It was apparent that she loves all the animals and treats them well. She was able to tell us about their personalities in addition to basic facts. And yes, there was a LOT of hands-on experience with the animals, from petting them to feeding them…even holding some of them. Several animals just roam the zoo so you are free to pet them anytime while others you interact with once you are let into their enclosure. Make sure to bring food to feed them (cut up apples, carrots, bananas, red grapes, sweet potatoes, and greens)! There are restrooms and a wash stations. However, there is no “people food/drinks” there fyi. Very different from a traditional zoo but my family & I loved it.

Had a wonderful visit. The animals are great and the closeup experience is so much more than the usual zoo experience. Our guide, Hannah, had all the answers to our questions and really topped of the whole thing. We will be back.

We are planning to take our 84 year old mother . We are working on her Bucket list which includes touching/holding a sloth. Are we able to actually pet the sloth.?

You aren't able to hold the sloth but you can pet him! As far as I know he is still living in the house but they bring him out so people can meet him! Everyone there is so sweet and informative about all the animals. She will have a great time!

Can I hold the sloth? My mom passed away in February and it has been my life long dream. I am 51 and work at the Ronald McDonald House. My families are so excited tht I am going to meet the sweet sloth!

They didn't let us hold a sloth but u can pet her, but only while she's eating something. So if she decide not to eat then they might not let you touch her.
