Kirshners wildlife refuge is hidden gem in our community. It is home to many exotic animals like lions, tigers and bears. Or if you prefer, wallabies, alligators and lemurs. There are so many more animals to see, it's like having a zoo just a short drive away. One thing to keep in mind though, is that this place is not a zoo. It is a sanctuary. Every animal here has a story and generally wouldn't be accepted at a regular zoo or wouldn't be able to integrate into the wild. This program is in memory of its founder, Barry Kirschner, by his loving mother, who continues his work to this day. It depends on donations, volunteers and a very small, and very dedicated staff who care deeply about these animals. I have read some not so favourable and ultimately unfair reviews. These people fail to see the big picture and should get their hands dirty before passing judgement. It takes an epic amount of work to keep this sanctuary going and guess what; they aren't doing it for you and I. They do it for the animals. This facility deserves your support. Take the family, take a date, take a sister or take a mate. A hidden gem, Kirshners is great.
