Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

THE WILD ANIMAL SANCTUARY IS CLOSED TODAY DUE TO ICE AND HIGH WINDS. WE HAVE RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, MAY 16 (sorry, they were full until then).

THIS EVENT WAS POSTPONED FROM MARCH 28 AND APRIL 4.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary is a 240-acre rescue and educational facility, where more than 150 large carnivores (like lions and tigers and bears!) roam free. The residents of the Wild Animal Sanctuary were abandoned, abused, illegally kept, or came from other terrible situations. The vast majority of the animals were so-called “pets” - and were confiscated by law enforcement officials - usually within the first six months of their lives. They also provide permanent refuge to surplus animals from zoos and other wildlife facilities, where they face euthanasia due to over-breeding.

The facility has a unique system of elevated cat-walks and observation platforms which allow people to view the rescued animals enjoying their beautiful habitats. This is one of the only places in America where you can see lion prides and other groups of carnivores living in natural habitats!

Our group will have a special private educational session with an animal expert who will tell us about the facility, the program, and the animals. We will then be able to observe the animals at our leisure.

We will meet at the Park-N-Ride on the southwest corner at 120th and I-25 and carpool from there. Registration fee includes our tour of the sanctuary.
