Tiger World is a different kind of Zoo. We are dedicated to the conservation and education of all threatened and endangered species. Our educational tours personally guide visitors throughout the preserve learning about each animal providing an individual hands on experience. You will see the animals in a natural setting and have the opportunity to observe them running, playing, swimming, eating, sleeping, and interacting with their handlers.Our Rockwell tour planning site makes visiting Tiger World and other Rockwell attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.
Our goal is provide the best environment in captivity for the animals while also providing a stimulating learning environment for visitors. The intimate setting is a great place to bring the family and learn about the animals up close and personally.
Tiger World is like a natural wilderness hike with pathways of rock and grass. Please consider this when bringing strollers or wheelchairs.

Tiger World is my favorite place to visit! This facility truly cares about the animals welfare. You can see the high level of attention that the keepers provide. They offer animal encounters to help raise money and it goes right back to the animals. You can learn a lot by talking to the keepers, and watching them provide enrichment. We enjoy it so much that we visited 2 weekends in a row! I do recommend going as soon as they open in the morning because the animals are very active then.

I love the concept. They're taking in rescues and doing what they can to give them the best life possible. The enclosures seem adequate for the animals, with the possible exception of some of the primates, but I think they're being treated well. As for the guest experience, the general feel of the place seems a little run-down. The landscaping isn't really kept up and most of the fixtures are very old. The copious number of peacocks and geese means there's a lot of poop to dodge, so I wouldn't let a toddler wander too far away from you. But the result is that you get more up close and personal with most of these animals than you ever will at a traditional zoo. You can stand inches away from kangaroos, bears, all kinds of stuff, and they're all very well socialized animals. Overall, I think it's a good place. They're doing what they can with limited funds, and it's working pretty well for them. I think with increased popularity and some more cash flow, they could do a lot of things I imagine they'd like to do as far as upgrading the facility.
