The Wild Animal Sanctuary

  Lions and tigers and bears! Almost all of the hundreds of animals at the sanctuary were rescued from deplorable conditions. The sanctuary differs from a zoo because visitors stay on a walkway high above the enclosures which puts less stress on the animals. It was hot the day that we visited and although we saw most of the animals a lot of them looked like this -

  The sanctuary has an ADA compliant ramp up to the walkway but it’s at a different location than the main entrance. We were not given the opportunity to use this ramp. The ramp that we did use is extremely steep. The ramp down to the ticket desk is also very steep. The walkway itself is wide, level, and smooth.

  RVs must park in a separate lot. Passengers may be dropped off at the main parking lot. The person driving the RV will be given a ride back to the main lot by an employee. No one is allowed walk on the sanctuary roads. Sanctuary
