My visit to LTB was more than I could have hoped for! In my opinion, the introduction video and tour were both the perfect length, and my husband and I appreciated that afterwards we had the freedom to go back and take more time to look at the animals that we wanted to see a little more of. Everyone...

SO educational! Alyssa, the volunteer coordinator, was our guide today. She was very knowledgeable and personable. We met Bobby, the owner at the start of the experience. They're doing GREAT things here rescuing neglected and abandoned animals!

As 30 something tourists in San Diego, my husband and I were looking for activities not really involving the crowds at the San Diego Zoo/Safari Park, and for ethical reasons did not want to go to Sea World. I found this sanctuary on google, and found a groupon for an opportunity to feed one of their...

Definitely go if you're thinking about it, but make sure you're there early. We arrived at 1:28 (for a 1:30 appointment and they don't allow you to arrive early) and they had already started the videos they make you watch before proceeding on the tour. They had us stand around for 10+ minutes for th...

I think it s wonderful this is a sanctuary for the animals. I have a few, what I hope to be helpful suggestions:

(1) your check in groups put us in Group A or Group B. We had to group together (in parties of 20-30 people for nearly 40 minutes (how is that adhering to covid guidelines in CA?) We ...

The organisation is doing a great job taking care of the animals! I'm grateful for them. The tour is guided and it takes around an hour and a half. This is good because I'm not wandering around like I will at a zoo. You can get to see the animals quite close and safe. They also offer a cabin for ren...

Even after being spoiled living here with San Diego Zoo passes and wild animal park, this was a wonderful experience I highly recommend. This is a wonderful TRUE rescue with great people behind it caring about the animals. Be sure to feed the animals if bringing a date!

All round excellent experience. You are able to get up really close to the animals and if you purchase a feeding ticket feed one of the animals of your choosing. A few tips, they do a raffle before the tour starts to feed an animal so if you have not purchased a feeding ticket, you can buy a raffle ...

This is a really cool place. Cheaper than seaworld, but you see more animals than the SD zoo & seaworld (closer too). You also get more of a guided experience which keeps you more engaged. I highly recommend this to tourists and locals.

Lions, Tigers, and Bears was excellent! Although we were a little late, they did not mind and happily put us into the tour late. The staff was really nice, the animals were very active and stress free; the whole place just had a good vibe to it. I highly suggest Lions, Tigers, and Bears to a tourist...

LOVED!! Enter the raffle to win a free feeding to any animal. We just adored our visit. We'll be back with my parents and use the little golf cart to help my mom view the beautiful animals. We learned so much! Thank you for a very happy day.

This is a great experience to see beautiful animals and also learn about the problems that require this kind of sanctuary. It is not a zoo. The staff has amazing stories to tell and they all have a happy ending. Go see this place - truly fascinating.

My husband and I were very impressed with this place. The animals are well taken care of and I was amazed at how close we were able to get to the animals. Most of the animals are used to people and come right up to the fence in order to get treats. This sanctuary does a great job of educating the pe...

The group we were in was quite large, so we had to wear masks the whole time, which made the heat worse :( Coming from Chicago, I did not understand how hot desert heat is! Most of the animals came out, but maybe if the group wa...

One of a kind place to see rescued lions, Tigers and Bears plus many other wild animals rescued from various situations. I've never been closer to a male lion or a 9 foot Siberian tiger. Gorgeous, well cared for animals in a friendly informative setting. LOVED IT!!!!!
