Sips with Sloths at Magnolia Wilds was an amazing experience. We all had a great time and learned a lot. Rachel, Sawyer, and Ally were all so sweet and knowledgeable. They kept our glasses full, kept us laughing, and kept us engaged and entertained for the entire tour. 10/10 would recommend!

My sister and I went to Magnolia Wilds for her birthday! It was a really fun experience. We got to hold a kangaroo that was precious. We also learned a lot from our wonderful tour guide, Simone. And last but not least we got to feed a Sloth!!
