Amazing tour. The guide Kim was very knowledgeable about the history of the place and the animals. We will definitely be back to check out the events Kim mentioned. The property was amazing and made my heart so happy to know someone is doing such a great job sticking up for these animals.

Full description

Become a "Member-for-a-Day" and see what it's like to actively contribute to the rescue and safety of formerly abused and abandoned big cats and bears. An expert will take you on a 1.5-2 hour guided group visit of the sanctuary where you will learn about the rescued animals who call Lions Tigers & Bears home.

Throughout your guided visit you'll get to see lions, tigers and bears, of course, but also so much more!
You'll also get the opportunity to see:
• Bobcats
• Leopard
• African servals
• Mountain lion
• Jaguar
and even domestic animals like horses and llamas that have been adopted for protection.

The sanctuary is heavily dependent on donations, so take this opportunity to become a "member-for-a-day" and learn more about these amazing animals and ways in which you can help stop the perils of the exotic animal trade.

Includes

  • Guided visit of the animal sanctuary
