Tiger World Review

Lions, tigers and bears! The lion exhibit was my favorite. they also have a huge liger. We enjoyed our tour there. The atmosphere is very laid-back and the staff is courteous.

Beautiful, well cared for animals. Friendly helpful staff. I bought a pumpkin there, and they fed it to Brandy!

This place is pretty crazy I was not expecting to see as much as we saw and I loved how lively all the animals were. they have some animals freely roaming around mostly birds such as peacocks and little kiwi looking birds that are not kiwis. It overall was just a very interactive and engrossing experience. It was crowded but I couldn't be upset about that because the animals were so lively. If there was any reason I could not give this place if I star rating it would mainly be because of the fact that some of the animals have such free reign of the place that they even will carry themselves into the bathroom and I mean people bathroom and you'll have to attempt to do your business with animals in there and they are far from clean astronomically far.so if you want to have a really good time and be ready to give it a 5-star review you need to use the restroom before you step foot anywhere near this place.

It was a very nice place. Could use some updates like on some of the signs. But the cages and animals looked very happy and taken care of. Will take our family back and priced reasonable as well.

My entire family went and we absolutely had a blast!!! So many animals and all so gorgeous! Taken well care of and we got to feed some tigers!!! Full supporter for this organization!

Don't you think that these animals would much rather prefer to be free. They are caged up all day and all night, they have no space to run wild. Now I'm not saying that the work here is bad or anything, I'm just saying that animals need to be free, not kept in these small cages with limited food for our own amusement. Imagine if you were stuck in your room forever and someone would come up twice a day to give you crumby food and water. Animals are just as important as people.

First visit to see the animals! Great experience. Animals easily visible in their enclosures. One of the staff spend a lot of time with us telling about the big cats! Will definitely go back!

Tiger World is small, but the animals appear to be well cared for, the cages and environment clean, and the staff knowledgeable. Some of the signage is incomplete and slightly dated, but it's obvious they're putting an effort into educating the public on the animals as well as climate & environmental threats. A few volunteers or staff mingling amongst visitors offering education and answering questions would be a very nice addition; most were very busy cleaning, feeding, running the gift shop, etc. Go to Group On before you visit; you'll save considerably by purchasing your tickets there.

Great attraction. Unique animals being tended to or rescued by a loving staff.
The Li-ger was a treat!

I understand why this place is here, but it's heartbreaking. The first tiger is in maybe a 25ft x 25ft cage & was pacing constantly like an inmate waiting to be fed. Seeing people take pictures of them for their own amusement made me feel physically sick. Seeing the animosity of them when they were being fed was disturbing. I dont want to ever come here again. The only reason I came was for my fiancee & stepson.

A wonderful place to spend a morning or afternoon. Excellent mix of animals ... especially enjoyed the big cats! Great staff as well. Highly recommend a visit.

This is my happy place and my favorite sanctuary. To say that they care about the animals is an understatement!!!!! It's obvious that they LOVE them and you can see that in the animals eyes. It's super clean and the staff and volunteers go above and beyond. Some of the animals have horrible back stories prior to being saved by Tiger World and the staff do whatever it takes to improve their future. They work tediously and tirelessly to provide a higher quality of life always putting the animals above their own needs. I can go on and on but I salute anyone who selflessly cares for animals. It's not just a job to them it's all heart and soul. Thank you!!!

Today was my first visit to Tiger World and I promise it won't be my last! All the the staff were friendly and didn't hesitate to answer any questions. The animals seemed well taken care of and energetic!

Excellent destination for the whole family! Lots of different animals to experience, learn about, get REALLY close to, and in some cases even feed! Go and support this excellent conservation site for turtles and birds all the way up to lions and bears!

My wife and I took our granddaughter today. We all very Impressed .All of the staff was very knowledgeable. And was more than glad to help you and explain the on natural habitats of the animals and how they came to be there .

Great place to take the whole family. Small but great. Lots of shade and picnic areas. Great staff and reasonable prices.

Great place animals are all in plain view white tiger was very vocal and the staff I met were very knowledgable about the animals

This is not a fancy city zoo. It is a facility to rescues big cats and other animals. The staff are great and care a lit about the animals. Bear Katie is especially great! Go here and also donate.

The animals were great to look at! The reason for 3 stars is for the atmosphere. Nothing was very appealing to look at. It looked like a run down place in need of TLC.

Was Really disappointed with the habitats..my lil dog has a bigger habitat and i live in a single wide trailer

Great afternoon adventure, for children and adults. Pay attention to feeding and training times. :)

Amazing place. Such a good variety of animals and so taken care of. I recommend this for everyone!

Loved seeing the cats. Would like to see them in larger cages

The animals are cool. I need to research a bit more in how well some animals could live in such small area. I'm sure they do what they can the best way they can. It is my own opinion that animals shouldn't be in cages where they have limited space.

Surprised at the scope of this place - so many animals! Great place to visit

It was a really good experience i will go back there, bcs is not to much walking

Glad to see animals being treated well unlike many zoos. Lions, tigers, the bear was talking a nap. Wolves and primates too

Glad there are places around to take care of large cats and other animals when they are in need of it.

Such a great place. Took my Christmas tree in with me this year. I love being able to recycle it one last time. Only thing I wish was there was more information about the particular animal and the reason they're in the rehabilitation center. I'd like to know what care they're getting along with the information about the animal in general. Overall great way to spend the day. Oh, and right now there are lion Cubs that are so adorable. This is a must do if you live in the NC area.

Great work. Keep it up!

Its a small lovely and lively place. We can watch the animals very closely.

It is SUCH AN AMAZING Place!!! It's obvious how committed and devoted the staff and is to provide the best life possible for these Precious animals!

Love this preserve. Love how close you can get to the animals, especially the peafowl and geese that patrol the grounds. Love the fare that is taken into with their animals.

Very saddened and disappointed after visiting this place. Don t be fooled when the website and brochure read natural setting , as there is nothing natural about this place. The cages appear WAY too small for these big, beautiful animals (tigers, lions, panthers, ligers, bears, etc.). In every single cage, and I mean every single one, the animals looked miserable, drugged, or anxious - pacing the fences!! Not to mention, you would see under veterinary care on almost all of them.

I understand this is a nonprofit, and I fully support nonprofits, as I currently work for one myself. However, this place needs significant updating to provide a healthy environment for these animals. Instead of bringing in new animals, which I m sure costs money, please try creating a habitat that s more conducive to healthy, happy animals.

It was heartbreaking to see, and my partner and I could only be there 30 mins.

We love visitng Tiger World! It is a great zoo alternative as it is smaller and my young kids can easily walk around without getting tired. We love how close we can see the animals. In our experience the animals are more active in the morning so that's when we usually go. There is a playground too which is always fun for the kids. We pack a picnic lunch and eat at one of the picnic tables and make a day of it.

My fiance and I loved it. The exhibits were really small, which is why I will encourage people to visit and make a donation to Tiger World so the animals can receive larger habitats.

This place and the animals are amazing. I felt close to them and they have an amazing staff there. My daughter loved seeing the animals up close!

Wonderful place for the family. You'll never get closer to the big cats without getting eaten. Take your time and enjoy all of the animals. Well worth the time and the drive.

Loved coming here with my daughter. She enjoyed getting to see all the cats and feeding the squirrels and birds. I loved seeing the wolves.

Great place, friendly workers, decent prices. Great for kids! Roughly an hour+ to walk through and see all the habitats. Definitely coming back!

I feel bad for the animals at Tiger World. They are in very small enclosures and don't have room to roam as they should.

The kids loved this place. A large variety of big cats as well as other zoo animals. The animals are cared for well.

It was awesome! Up close and personal with wildlife in a peaceful atmosphere. Feels like you're in the jungle.

Love it you be able to see the tigers and bears and all of the animals here and with all new exhibits that they have planned alot more fun

Love this place. Quiet and relaxed and you can feed/pet a lot of the birds. The monkeys eat peanuts if you toss them a few. Not the typical zoo atmosphere.

This place is truly atiger world full of wild animals and smaller space that visitors do not have to walk around a lot especially when visiting with kids. The lions and tigers are well taken care of and we could have a closer look at them than any other zoo. Worth the trip.. adults and kids would equally enjoy this place.

We loved our afternoon at Tiger World. What a wonderful little place hidden in NC! The animals are well cared for, and loved; most are rescues.

This place if filled with wonderful animals and the staff is helpful and informative. A must see!!

Amazing place! Extremely happy animals and keepers! It s so amazing to see the relationship that have been built!

Amazing to experience! Very informative as well. Wish I could of stayed to feed them, which they do offer. I will be coming back.

This is my favorite place! So many amazing animals and the staff are some of the most caring people I have met.

I absolutely loved Tiger World! They actually had cubs when we went and they were old enough to be played with, so it was a wonderful experience. Will be back in the fall!

Best place for students as well parents, really enjoyed seeing tigers

Tiger World is amazing! We went and it s beautiful there. Get to see rescued animals. I recommend checking Tiger World

It is such a great place the staff is always friendly and very helpful they answer any questions that you may have I love this place and highly recommend it
