A small, friendly rescue zoo in an old olive grove where families meet sloths, a giraffe, porcupines, and eagles up close on easy stroller-friendly paths.

Very fun and educational for the kids. We made reservation to do the adventure tour because I really wanted to see the porcupine and armadillo. The guide was very nice and the tour was fun. Porcupine were definitely the highlight of the visit!

We visited for a birthday party and this place was great! The animals were amazing and each one had a story about where they were found and how they were rescued and ended up at the Wildlife Learning Center. I would highly recommend going, great experience with the kids!
