It was nice seeing the animals but i felt sorry for them at the same time. I wondered why the panther was in a small cage with no room to roam around. I also wondered if they take the baby tigers away from the mom and if so, I don't think that is right. Mom needs to raise the baby.... not a human. Tigers belong in the wild. I don't know if the animals are rescued or if this place breeds tigers. In many cases places like this get the tigers from places that raise them to allow people to pay to kill them. Its sad

I went recently and was open to the experience. I thought this could be like the book/film "we bought a zoo" - it's not. I'm not sure if they mean well but they don't have the capacity or capability to care for the animals - overall the experience made me very sad. The place is dirty and the animal enclosures are very small and though they say they meet the requirements it's not what the animals deserve. I don't recommend going.

Very friendly staff, contrary to a lot of reviews on here. Gave adequate time to spend with the baby tiger and zebra. Great price for the experience.

BOGDAN HAS DIED and the zoo is being secretive. I first saw Bogdan when he was 4 weeks old and weighed 9 LBS. I have visited many times and fed his twin daughters. Sept 8 would have been his 6th birthday. I had a tiger theme party for him. My friend texted Nancy that morning with a Happy Birthday Bogdan! and a request for a photo of him on his actual birthday, we received 2 photos. That Sunday another friend visited the zoo and asked where Bogdan was. She was told by Tiffany ( great employee ) that Bogdan died two weeks ago. Nancy approached my friend and she asked Nancy to let me know Bogdan was dead. She said NO don't tell her and don't tell anyone! My friend asked Nancy if it was true she said yes but she could not remember what day he died. Isn't a zoo legally required to keep records? I called Nancy to inquire what happened and she didn't return my call. In the 6 years I have been aware of this zoo, 12 exotic cats have died. She has been fined $3,571 by the USDA for "Severe and repeated Animal Welfare Act violations, one of which resulted in the death of an animal. " A kangaroo with a broken leg was not seen by a vet and died as a result. I wonder if Bogdan was seen by a vet. Why the secrecy if it was legitimate? There has been no mention of his death on her Facebook and her website as of today said Bogdan is doing great and growing every day. I saw him last month and he looked fine. How does a tiger in his prime suddenly die? Why does this zoo loose and average of two exotic big cats a year? Why the secrecy and denial of his death, now three weeks ago. She claims to be a non profit business but is not registered as a 501(c) (3) under that name. Just be aware this zoo has a dark side.
