St. Augustine Wild Reserve, St. Augustine

We decided to come here for a family outing. It was okay. I would recommend bringing bug spray. The tour was good and it was nice to see the animals. For me it felt like most of the animals could use a bigger fenced in area and some needed more shade coverage. I understand it is set per guidelines, but their areas seemed small. We were overheated walking so I could only image how the animals felt especially with all their fur. The guides did a good job trying to get the animals active during the tour. They also did a great job explaining how the animals came to the reserve. I wish they would let us take pictures and frankly I don't understand why we can't. I have been to several other animal sanctuaries and reserves and I was always allowed to take pictures. Makes me wonder why we can't take them here?? I read reviews too wear sneakers, but sandals are just fine. It is a gravel pathway. Overall it was decent.

I loved our visit today! Even though it was a crowded tour, they had several guides and didn't rush us. Sandra was a knowledgeable guide and we learned a lot. I highly recommend as it's a 1.5 hour tour that's up close to the animals and a good deal for $35. *I did not take these photos but bought them from them.
