This place is AWESOME!! Nice friendly people and SO MANY cool animal's to see. And if your a veteran like me and you show your military ID. You get in free which I thought was so great. They had a awesome bird show that I actually enjoyed very much. Overall it's a wonderful place to bring your family and get to see and experience animals that you would not normally see. This is a Must SEE and a will be going back again very soon!!

Visiting my grandchildren in Sarasota FL. We went to Big Cat Habitat. Was very impressed with the cleanliness and tender loving care for the animals. Was a little dismayed at the cage like enclosures for them. Would recommend donating to update grounds.

Think Tiger King and this is basically it!It's a small place with alot of different animals, you can get really close to the animals an see how big they really are. They did a couple of shows and also offered feeding some of the animals. We felt a bit sorry for some of the animals as they were in small enclosures/cages we were informed all the animals were rescue animals and that's great that they are helping them.

I planned a trip to this park before coming down here because I was excited to see the wildlife. I liked that the price was reasonable, and you could see all of the animals up close very easily. I don’t normally care about this stuff, but the cages seemed VERY small. I am no professional so I’m sure they’re adequate, but I couldn’t help but feel bad for the big bears and cats being stuck in these small enclosures. The silver lining to that was that we were able to walk through the entire park in under 30 minutes. I don’t think I would return here only because it made me a little sad.
