We visited in September and way too hot. There are a lot of shade trees though. Path is easy walking. We saw many animals and was a good overall experience. The show they had was very nice.

Great organization that really cares for the animals. They have some beautiful tigers and lions as well as many other species roaming around the facility you can meet. We enjoyed the variety show a lot and the host was very knowledgeable and funny. Overall they are a non profit and trying to get by so a lot of the little things like pictures or feeding of the tigers cost extra but who can blame them. Its still a very spend what you want environment and the entry alone doesn't limit the experience at all. They support the best causes and lawmakers as well who are willing to do what is needed to protect these animals. Highly recommend

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!!
