  My wife and I came here while we were staying in San Diego. What an incredible experience to see there amazing animals up close and treated so well after experiencing so much mistreatment in the past. The sanctuary is so well run and all of the staff are so knowledgable, helpful and friendly. The animal enclosures are large, clean and well maintained. My wife won a raffle which meant she was able to experience feeding the bears which was fantastic. This sanctuary deserves to go from strength to strength with all the amazing work they do and how much unfortunately still needs to be done.

  I booked the behind the scenes tour for 2. This is not the basic one, this is the one that’s $530. It’s a donation that goes towards the animals. It’s a 2 hr experience. You watch a short video and two volunteers take you around to all of the animals. We fed some tigers and bears. The lion was too tired to come over, it was very hot that day. Yes, they do have lions. The animals do not stay in small, cramped cages just to clarify. They also have a liger, one of the highlights. This tour was worth it because some of those big groups take too long. You have to wait for everyone to finish their turn. Parking was easy. Wear sneakers, a hat, and sunscreen. It’s recommended to book your tour in advance instead of just showing up. Not a zoo. Some of the negative reviews didn’t make sense. The staff was super nice. They also have an Airbnb if you want to stay there for 4 guests.

  This sanctuary was absolutely amazing. The staff was so knowledgeable, and the amount of care put into the animals and facility was remarkable. Hands down the best zoo/sanctuary I have ever been to. So amazing to see them so well cared for, and that the staff care so deeply about their well being. Definitely recommend!

  A wonderful experience! I was so amazed by how beautiful the enclosures were for the animals. Honestly the habitats were so excellent they seemed even better than any zoo I’ve been to. The staff was extremely kind and knowledgeable.
