I just went last week and really enjoyed seeing the animals and hearing their stories! The animals are well taken care of and seemed healthy and happy! They’re are some animals that stay there, but most are returned to the wild once they can. It was $15, for the toure. I highly recommend going.
It has some beautiful flowers. And some plants that you normally do not see. There is one plant that properties to help with stage 4 cancer. Remember this to be discussed with your medical doctor. They have a sloth, different birds, monkeys and a jaguar. These animals are taken in until they are released back into their habitat. They also have a restaurant on-site. Unfortunately, the restaurant is being updated and will we were unable to try the restaurant. It is by appointment only. It was a great place of peace and beauty.
At present this establishment is in the final stages of renovation and will soon feature a new restaurant and improvements to the animal houses and gardens. The gardens and animals have always been a beautiful thing to see. The gardens are well tended, and are very interesting offering so many surprising views highlighted with statuary and water features. I will update this with a new review once it is up and running. Hint. Bring your camera or you will kicking yourself the whole time you are there.
I use to volunteer here when it was Paradise Gardens & Wildlife Rescue Center. Returning nearly a decade later, the gate was open during visitation hours, so I entered. The encountered staff was extremely rude, unfriendly and made me feel unsafe when I approached the front and asked if there was a visitation fee as I'd love to walk around and see how the place had changed, having had fond memories before the transition and hearing how allegedly nicely it had been transformed since under these new owners. Workers (they said when asked that managers weren't present; and all male), without explanation, told and stared me down with construction tools until I left. Very confusing and unfortunate. Hopefully not a commonplace experience...
