Tiger World Review

Nice little place to visit. I would suggest going early morning when animals are active more. Gift shop should not be where tickets in are purchased, had to wait in line for awhile behind shoppers to just to get in.

Very nice place for a day spend. Go with 10+ group so that you'll be having $8 per person.

Overall good experience. The baboon made me a bit nervous, he's... quite orney.

Kids loved it! Cool to see the white tigers. Also black jaguar, leopards etc. Really enjoyed our visit here.

This place is amazing. You can tell the love the workers have for these animals. They are very knowledgeable and make sure the animals are well taken care of. It was COLD outside but we still had so much fun.

This is a beautiful sanctuary. All the cats are in great health. Your able to get real close to these animals. If you want to see big cats up close this is the place to go!

A great place to see some rare, and endangered animals.

2 stars for the neat animals but honestly the John guy that has his review at 1 star is on point. The animals seemed very stressed, the enclosures were small and a lot didn't provide much shelter from the sun. A lot of the animals were sick or injured and under care. The lady at the front desk was so rude and seemed offended that we didn't want to buy the animal feed. The fencing is horrible, and who wants pictures of sad animals through chain link fences. We were there first thing for opening and the bathrooms were filthy, dead insects everywhere the trash was full, they let birds wander which is cool but there was poop everywhere. There were peacocks fighting over a female and then turned towards us and started stalking us when we were backing up when they started fighting. People were tripping over stumps because there aren't paved paths to a lot of the enclosures. The water at the enclosures were filthy, couldn't be consumed or used for swimming for the animals.

Wasn t expecting so many wild animals in the Charlotte suburbs. Lions, tigers, wolves, jaguars,...We got a discount on admission for bringing our Christmas tree.

Fun place! You get to feed the kangaroo and macaws by hand. Beautiful wild cats, bears, and wolves. But beware of Monk the baboon, he threw his poo at us because we ran out of peanuts to feed him. All are amazing animals.

Cool animals for viewing. Facility is outdated. No customer service. Half of the animals are sick or hiding. No shows or activities. Its different everytime you go.

One of my favorite places ..to bring the grandchildren.. Always so much fun..and I just love it..

Hand these cats over to Carolina Tiger Rescue so they can give them the space and care they need to thrive. This place is depressing.

"Doing their best" isn't good enough if you can't afford the animals don't keep them. Pitiful habitats, disgusting water for the animals, the wolves looked sickly. The only habitat I was impressed with was the ligers, which seemed like the only one with clean water very disappointing and the lady on staff at the gift shop was rude.

So much fun seeing the animals and watch them interact with each other. Loved the mother peacock and her two babies walking all around.

Great, personal, and educational. My daughter loved it. We spent several hours there.

I've been to many Zoos and may have enjoyed myself here more than anyplace else. You get a unique opportunity to be up close with many BIG cats. They do amazing work as well. Go visit Tiger World!

White tigers, lions, snd all kinds of exotic animals. Jost outstanding

Didn't know there was even a zoo like this near here, but I'm glad I stopped

It was fun. The animals were great. They were really active considering the extreme heat. The park is small but considering this is a non profit it is impressive. What they are doing is really great. The animals look really cared for. I would recommend this for any animal lover.

Absolutely love Tiger World! We live in FLorida and make a point to stop here whenever we're nearby. The zookeepers are great and answer any questions we have. The animals are obviously well cared for. I cannot recommend this place enough.

AWESOME PLACE. Beautiful animals and you can get very close to the tigers! Staff was very friendly and would let us know if they were about to feed or give the big cats a toy watermelon to play with. Would definitely go again!

An amazing experience and they're doing wonderful work here!

A wonderful family experience! We arrived a little before feeding time and were able to see everyone tear into their chicken and beef. The staff were great with both the animals and those of us asking all our questions. Very knowledgeable staff, there are information plaques at each enclosure and I loved seeing all the peacocks, ducks, swans and geese out and about mingling with people.

My daughter loves all the big cats. We saw a lion roar. It was a cool experience.

I really hate that I drove so far to look at a bunch of tigers. But an albino lion was something to see. The playground was nice since we quickly finished walking around. We went for the Easter egg hunt which was really nice and they did free face painting that day. There were also wolves and some monkeys. I'll have to add pics of the albino lion later.

A wonderful experience for all family members. The animals are pure beauty.

Fabulous experience! Check out the carnivore tour! Worth every penny! Kids love it, we love it. Its nice to know your money goes to a worthwhile cause too!

Great for kids. Place needs tons of donations so please give some when there

The staff and volunteers were very informative and helpful. They explained why some of the cats had smaller enclosures. We had an amazing experience.

Very recommended place to visit, all animals much closer than anywhere else at the zoo. 5 star

I recommend Tiger World. Clean and a lot of animals. Really happy with our recent visit. We will visit there again!

Animals looked healthy. Just wished the detailed signs on what type of animals were in pens we're updated. Watering holes could use fresh water more often but otherwise plenty to see.

This place is awesome! Maybe the best wildlife experience I have ever had! My 10yo daughter loved it too!

Nice place. Some enclosures too small but the animals all looked healthy and they seem to do as well as they can for a non profit.

We had a great time here especially during feeding time. The big cats knew when it was coming as you'll see them pacing in anticipation. I was by one of the tigers, and he was staring at one spot. I thought he was staring at a lady a few feet away but he was looking for the truck.
It's not a big park so you can do the whole turn in about an hour or so if you're impatient but we spent more time as we enjoyed being up close to the animals.
My only negative is the they're behind fences, so taking pictures will have that fence in front. But the cats, wolves and dogs do have room to move.

Very clean, lots of information on the animals. Very friendly staff.

Great place to visit with family .All the animals are well taken care of and look healthy . Fairly priced , plenty of open space... Definitely worth the money to watch these animals up close ..

Great day out, love seeing the animals, wish it was easier to walk around, litte more work done on landscaping, buildings, pathways

Visted tiger world today was not impressed with the care of the animals. The way these animals are taken care of it should be shut down. Lack of sufficient water, shade and can understand why its not fully credited the sponsors who sponsored this should be ashamed of themselves. Why don't you try to lay out in the sun with water dishes out in the sun with limited shade. Wish I could rate it less than one

Very up close and personal, and educated excited staff

It was fun for kids to see wild animals up close but almost all the animals from the cat family seemed to be in some sort of distress as they kept pacing left and right non stop. I'm not sure what that actually means but that's what I felt.

Thank you for all that you guys do. Tiger world is wonderful. A must see !!! Xoxo

Beautiful place for animals who are in endangered list. Well maintaned with knowledgeable staff.

Great place to visit!! The little one I Nanny for loves it. The only thing that would make it better is if they had food available there, even snacks or something in the little shop.

First time coming here. Me and my kids loved it. I will be coming back again.

Tiger World is spectacular... I only gave 4 stars because in 2020 we could not see the reptiles... I believe it's because of Covid-19!!! Outside of that the staff is great and the animals are even greater... If you haven't been to Tiger World all I'm a say is why not!!!

We will be back!! The kids and adults all loved it!!!

Love the place, it has great staff there that truly care about the animals. Amazing view to see and hear

Good to see you, bad to take photographs. You can spend a couple of pleasant hours here, but every animal is behind wire fencing so it's hard to get a decent lid with the exception of the kangaroos, emus and peacock.

It is great to see how these rescue animals that could not survive in their natural habitats are treated to a life in a fairly natural environment without concrete floors. They are well taken care of by loving and knowledgable caretakers and fed with donated meats from local businesses. We loved the relaxed atmosphere.

Surprising find in North Carolina. A great afternoon of fun at a reasonable cost. More than just tigers, it is a great zoo experience in an afternoon.

Absolutely a Great afternoon of fun, My kids enjoyed the Trip and area

Tiger World is my favorite place to visit! This facility truly cares about the animals welfare. You can see the high level of attention that the keepers provide. They offer animal encounters to help raise money and it goes right back to the animals.
You can learn a lot by talking to the keepers, and watching them provide enrichment. We enjoy it so much that we visited 2 weekends in a row! I do recommend going as soon as they open in the morning because the animals are very active then.

I'm just not a fan of the treatment or should I say the lack of space in places like this. And there were some kids antagonizing one lion...he did not seem happy about it at all. My grandson enjoyed himself though and that's all that matters.

A great place to see endangered and previously mistreated animals. Awesome to see these animals in a safe environment with workers who truly care for and about them.

So fun! Close up view of animals and a ton of variety.

Definitely will be back. Tigers and all animals at this establishment are obviously well taken care of. Kids loved it.

It was a really nice place plenty of animals to see employees were real nice

Good amount of animals.
Enjoyed our visit there.
Bring a picnic lunch.

Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Don't forget to donate

Excellent zoo with birds you can feed, tigers, lions, bears, panthers, kangaroos, etc. Our kids really enjoyed it and I had a blast as well.

My daughter and I really enjoyed the zoo and she was able to feed some of the animals

Had a blast with the family! Perfect size to take the little ones for a couple of hours. The staff was friendly. Considering season pass

Awesome experience at Tiger World, many animals to see!

Loved seeing the tigers and support the cause behind Tiger World. My only problem was the day we visited many of the animals had little to no water, and it was very hot that day.

I really enjoyed Tiger World and also very educational.

Very relaxed zoo atmosphere, you can really tell the caretakers enjoy the animals and have their best interests in mind. Unfortunately there's no food stalls or anything but there are vending machines so if you are spending the day you should deliberately pack a lunch.

looks like a cage display. not a zoo atmosphere nor a natural habitat

This place is ok! We spent 4 hours enjoying our selves in the hot heat. The animals started waking up around 2 and 230. We bought the feeding cups to feed the wolves and various animals. If you have a stroller it might be hard to maneuver because there are no real paths. We have a jogger and that was helpful, except when going thru the trees at times. The baby lion cubs were adorable. We enjoyed feeding the monkeys, they prefer the peanuts to the dog food.

We definitely had a good time, the staff was helpful, whenever we stopped them to ask questions. Nice place to chill for a bit, just know it s a hot place and in some areas there is no shade. The tiger show, which is just a training session with the tigers starts at 130.

Had fun ... will visit again... the staff was friendly and very helpful in answering our questions

Awesome place to go. Didn't get to see the bears because they are still in hhibernation. Would love to visit again.
