If you have kids, TAKE THEM HERE! I went as part of a work offsite (apparently a very common place for off sites) and really enjoyed the experience. We did the 3 hour tour, which consisted of a 45 min walking tour through the bird enclosure and the monkey areas, and then the 2 hour tour on a jeep through the rest of the animal sanctuary. The jeeps were very well designed. Tip: if you want the bumpy adventure feel, sit on the second level since they are mounted on springs. Our tour guide took us on a great adventure and we got to be very close to the animals, enough for the giraffe to shoot saliva on us! I would imagine kids would love an adventure here.

They also have cabins/tents for overnight stays. A lunch buffet was provided with our group package, but the lunch was just okay. Lunch included mac and cheese, pulled pork slider, roasted chicken, salad, and fruit. Dessert was cream puffs.
