“Neat loving environment for Primates in need.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2012

I would recommend stopping by and supporting this facility. These folks work hard and obviously care tremendously for the animals in their care. They rehab, accept old, unwanted TV and movie "stars" and are friendly and knowledgable with imparting information to make your visit memorable. More

“Great Stuff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2012

It was super neat and just knowing that my visit helps the sanctuary stay open AND the primates and other animals residing there, I would go back again and again! Try it out! You'll love it! More

“Good to see”

It is nice to see the animals being taken care of. I wish there were either more workers to tell us about the animals stories. We just happen to ask questions when they were around. There is no formal tour. the giant turtle was the treat of the day.I think they need more funding to help out their cause. More

“a depressing place”

A decrepit, nondescript place with cages looking like jail cells. One can hardly see the animals between the bars. The place was a concrete and steel mess, the animals crowded and unhappy looking. My kids felt sorry for the animals, and so did I. The only good thing about our visit was the weather, and I don't want to imagine... More

I visited a few weeks back with some friends and family. Based on reviews I read, I went with mixed expectations. It turned out to be a wonderful and exciting experience for both adults and children! Small alligators were taken out to be held and you can get treat baggies to feed the animals. Beautiful exotic birds were brought out... More

Yes, the cages are clean. Yes you can get up close to the animals. Yes you can be told and and again how animal activist groups are not out to help animals but out to support known terrorists! Really? Strangest rantings I've heard! The days of the circus and roadside shows are gone. Days of having an endangered animal in... More

“Good experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

My family with children ages 10 & 12 recently visited. It was a clean environment. There were several volunteers cleaning and available to help. We had a young man offer to give us a tour. He offered lots of detailed information and made our visit better. As a visitor you can get really close to the animals. A bag of... More
