Visited on 15 April 2013, upon entering, my wife and I were essentially ignored by the staff until we approached the front desk, at which point we were still given very little information. After paying $30.00 admission we entered the park for a self directed tour of the grounds. The conditions were deplorable. I am an animal behaviorist, not a layman, I understand the needs of animals kept in captivity, and the animals at this park are deprived. While it seems very basic needs are being met, and the park makes attempts through poorly spelled signage to educate visitors about animal cruelty and ills of personal ownership of wild species, the park does a poor job of practicing what it preaches. Staff wasn't helpful or very friendly and the conditions are less than desirable for the animals they have "rescued". All in all, the park seems more like a tourist trap, making money at the expense of endangered animals. My advice, don't spend money supporting this park.
