Small but fun for kids - feeding time is when you will get to see the animals best and get a short talk by the person working with them, but if you go 30 minutes before, buy some feed and go around and see the animlas without the extra people and let the kids feed the goats, donkey, sheep, etc....

This is so close to Pagosa Springs that if you are there for the week, you should check it out, especially if you have kids. They have animals that are local and you can get up close. Go when it is feeding time (2 pm when we visited) so that you get the tour with someone that knows the animals... More

We stumbled upon this little park on our way out of Pagosa and it was a lot of fun. The staff was so welcoming and informative when we encountered them throughout our walk through the park. The animals were healthy and pretty active when we walked through. We bought a couple things of food in the gift shop to feed... More

We went on a weekday at the 2 pm feeding time, and had the place nearly all to ourselves. The lady giving the tour/feeding the animals was very patient with our children as well. It was fun to see a grizzly, coyote, wolves, and even a mountain lion up close. Rabbits run all over the place, and even the elk... More

This is a very small animal refuge. These animals are not able to be set free in the wild. You will see coyotes, grizzly bear, wolf-dogs, a porcupine, goats, sheep , lambs, elk, bobcat, donkey, turkeys, and a bearded dragon (lizard). They also have cats and what I found to be unbelievable is that the cat, Ursela, actually takes you... More

It was a very exciting tour. By tour I mean when feeding time had come. my advise on when to go is....when feeding time happens. I think feeding time is at 2pm but recheck first.. The animals come close and the feeder and the feeder gives information and a tour at no extra cost. Be sure to tip the host... More

We visited the small wildlife refuge one weekday before and during feeding time. There were not tons of people, which was nice, so we could spend as much time as we wanted with each animal. The area was well managed and pretty accessible for those without a handicap. The animal feeder was knowledgable and personable. The facilities were not that... More

We had a great time. We went at 3:30, which gave us time to look around the museum and feed the goats before the feeding tour started at 4pm. Prices were very reasonable, $7 for adults and our 2 year old was free. It was great getting to see the animals eat and to learn about them. We learned lots... More
