The tour was super informative and it was so fun to interact with some of the animals so closely. Many different types of animals to see. Only negative feedback is the cages didn’t seem well kept - seemed very small and some falling apart. Made us wonder about the animals’ quality of life. Would definitely recommend, though, for a fun time for any animal lover!…

This place is small yes but makes it special. We spent 4 hours here. We walked it twice. Best - was not crowded. Juan works there and takes you on animal up close encounters. We saw a sloth, wolf, and alligator! Sure it isn't pristine. They aren't there to take time away from animals and always manicure their the grounds to look all fancy like the well known zoos. This is supposed to mimic the natural overgrown environment the best it can. Price is not bad at all for up close and limited crowd. You pay $10-$15 just to see a sloth at some zoos and it is often sleeping. There are so many things to see here if you explore and look. Insects, birds, and amazing iguana coming out of the trees and bushes. I'm glad we came here. …

This was truly an AMAZING experience. I will say, it is small, but that's the true beauty of it. It is so personal and intimate. My husband and I traveled with our 8 yr old and grandfather, We opted for the private tour, mainly to give our daughter some quality time with her favorite animal, the sloth. I'm so glad we did! Carlos was our guide and was so patient with our very timid girl. Feeding and being so close to those animals was such a treat! O'Ryan the wolf was by far the family favorite, followed by Arthur the sloth. The caregivers truly care about the animals, and work hard to make sure they are well cared for. Our tour was about an hour, which was plenty of time. And after we took another round through to revisit everyone. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this hidden gem! The place a little off the beaten path, but still only an hour from Miami...so it makes for a great half day adventure. I'd go back in a heartbeat just to see the big smile on my girl's face! THANK YOU for an amazing time…

Visited with a friend for her birthday and had a great time! The animals are well kept, the guide (I believe his name was Juan) was super knowledgeable about all of the animals there, and the interactions were super fun!

My daughter LOVES sloths. We drove all the way down there since every site, including theirs, indicated they were open. We arrived and saw the sign that said they were open. But, no, they aren't. Ruined our day, made my daughter cry. You should be ashamed of yourself! Since I can't swear, you all are JERKS!!!!…
