Inspirational sanctuary and a good example of people truly loving animals BUT was a highly disorganized $50.00 tour. It was fun to listen to the lady who is the bear caretaker, she knows what she is doing. And it was great to see eagles close up... but I will send a donation and watch a documentary next time.

Diane, who guided us through this sanctuary, was compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. We were introduced to a bobcat, three black bears, a bald eagle, a golden eagle, and a turkey vulture, all there under circumstances which prevents these wild creatures from living in the wild.

Such a cool experience! The animals were amazing and the tour hosts were super knowledge. Such a great cause for animals who would've died or been abandoned! We did the extra bear feeding and it was an awesome end to the tour.
