Amazing experience with some absolutely gorgeous wild animals! This reserve saves and protects wild animals taken in as pets or abused in industry and gives them acres of land to recover and be safe. Fully non-profit organization that survives off donations and volunteers! Love it! 🥰

Love the mission of this non-profit. It makes you feel good to see so many volunteers dedicating their time and efforts to these animals. Some of these volunteers have other Monday-Friday jobs, but they are there to support the mission. These animals deserve to live the rest of their life in a safe and protected environment. They have been abused, mistreated, and some left to die. The two-hour tour was very informative and we learned a lot. After the tour they allowed us to roam and revisit any encounters we liked to see again. The cost for admission is for a good cause, it's a donation to help these animals. They also have a Wishlist on their site, if you wish to bring donations.

This is a wonderful place protecting animals that have been mistreated. I doubt I have ever been so close as this to tigers and lions, even through two fences!! 2 hour tour with knowledgeable guides - all outside - bring hats and water - though they sell lots of stuff, marked up to make them a donation.

We spent a night at the White Oaks Lodge and did a tour in the morning. This is such a wonderful sanctuary and you can tell the animals are happy and well cared for. I loved hearing their stories and you can tell everyone is very passionate about putting an end to exotic animal abuse. Word of warning: the intro video is a tough watch.

No you can't. These animals were rescued from places that allowed that which really is considered abuse. This is a zero contact facility. However you do have opportunity to feed the animals and it's a very rewarding experience to see how far these animals have come after being rescued. The people that work there and the director are totally dedicated to the animals welfare.
Yes they want/need volunteers...i have done it.
I do not work up there but according to their website the fire has moved Southwest and away from the sanctuary.
You cannot touch the wild animals. This is a protective sanctuary where these animals have been saved from deplorable conditions. It is very well worth the visit! Extremely educational and eye opening!
Several different prices. Approx $33 for tour, $120 for tour & feed lions, tigers or bears, $500 for personal tour. Overnight cabin stay is $1300. Personally the general $33 admission was enough for the first time. Next time we will do the feeding. Tour is the same for everyone. FYI; one of the bears is the one on the national news that was taking a bath in the owners swimming pool. Awesome
