The rescue and sanctuary of these carnivores is dear to my heart. I love this place! Be prepared for a walk of several miles for the full experience, and best to wait until most of the animals are out of hibernation in the spring. No dogs or smoking of any kind, at all ever.

The most wonderful place in the world for these special animals to go to. Pat Craig (and family) are heroes.

Wild Animal Sanctuary - My family has visited many zoos and the best thing I noticed about the Wild Animal Sanctuary was that these were some of the healthiest looking animals I have ever seen. The walkway is elevated and this is the only way to view the animals. At first I thought we would not be able to see many up close but we saw several - tigers, coyotes, bears, wolves, lions, and more. We went in December so it was a cooler day but many animals were still active.

My daughter was severely burned this summer at the Wild Animal Sanctuary. The staff’s response was extremely disheartening and downright rude. About two minutes into the walkway, she tripped and put her hands down on the surface of the walkway. The front part of her right leg touched it as well. She got right back up and started screaming. I was about four steps ahead of her and she was right near my mom.We went to a walk-in clinic and were referred to Denver Children’s Burn unit, where we had discussions about long term nerve damage. She was casted for a week. We asked for a refund and were only given a credit. We were accused of not watching the video where the walkway is discussed. I did in fact watch the mandatory video. There is a sign that says walkway maybe very hot. This sign is not sufficient. It needs to say walkway can cause severe burns that require emergency hospital visits. Their response was to say that her burns were a result of my negligence as a parent and that parents need to be close enough to pick up children that fall. I was, but it didn’t matter. The damage had already been done.After that we requested a refund, having zero desire to return to this terribly run place. After numerous calls and emails, we did finally receive a refund in November, but my parents didn’t realize it right away bc no one answered to tell us the refund had been issued.This is not a place to bring a child in hot weather who could trip, aka any child. They need to spray the surface with something the reduces the surface temperature. Be warned. And spend your money on places that value people the same way they value animals.

You actually see most of the animals, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the property is well maintained... the biggest downside, in my personal opinion, was the price. It is pretty pricey at ~$50/person (ages 13-69) and $30/person (ages 2-13)

Great visit. So lots of tigers, lions, bears, and wolves plus some bobcats, linx, etc. Docents are great to help you find the animals or share a story about their rescue.Dog-friendliness: DO NOT bring your dog.

This was so cool! It was enjoyed by the entire family, young and old. The staff were so helpful and knowledgeable; we asked a lot of questions. I would highly recommend The Wild Life Sanctuary!
