I love National Parks and I feel Yosemite can be one of the most beautiful parks that I have ever visited. The first day was kind of rainy even though we enjoy the park, the se one day was full of snow and last day was a beautiful sunny day. Each day a new and a different scenario. I really appreciate that the Park was pretty wheelchair accessible and my son enjoyed the park as much as us. The Park is easy to navigate. Was an unforgettable trip that I will recommend to anyone.

The national park scenery is breathtaking, it is beyond words. We loved our visit, the sheer vastness, gigantic trees, the stunning waterfalls, the fact that clouds drift by where your standing so close you could touch them. The whole experience was amazing and it took sometime to sink in just how beautiful this place is. I will always remember my visit. Take waterproof clothing it can be wet and cold.

Beautiful. Start hikes early if you are trying to beat crowds or find any sort of parking especially on holiday weekends/summers. The mist trail was beautiful, loop is closed at the moment. Be mindful of the safety signs, they exist for a reason.

Visited Yosemite National Park during my first visit to the state of California and it was worth it. The view is absolutely stunning! There are amazing hiking trails if you’re up for it. And the waterfalls, unforgettable. The water remains cold all year round. Just dip your feet and feel it. The park is well maintained and offers something for everyone especially nature lovers. There may be a lot of people there but you can still have a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

They have sunshine, happiness, and bears. Don't pet the bears. The trees are Thicc, the rocks are Thicc, and most of the waterfalls are also pretty Thicc. Unless it's too hot. 10/10 would recommend.

This place is gorgeous! You could easily spend multiple days here. Between the different sights, hiking, and just relaxing in the water. It is one of the biggest national parks I’ve been too. Remember to bring lots of water though and do your research if you are hiking. It is hot in the summer!

Big hill. Very big hill. One of the bigger hills. Some would say a steep hill. Climbed the uppa falls, 1812 meters to the top. Nice stroll, took me 5 hours. Had a maccies afterwards. Any hikers looking to climb this I recommend not doing it on all fours, or wear some gloves if you do. Bring swimming trunks, you can swim at the top, don't use it as a slide otherwise it'll be the last slide you use. Apparently you can climb the face of the hill, didn't see anyone doing it. Head a lot of people saying they would. All bark no bite. No bears spotted, made me sad. 10/10 experience, 9/10 with no bears.

Had a great time. There's a lot of walking. It's nice to be able to go at your own pace. Got to experience how they open and closed the cell doors. Was not able to go into the dining room or see the shower room. They were in the process of repurposing these areas. Beautiful views and great weather.

One of the most interesting places to visit in San Francisco! We really enjoyed the whole experience. There is an audio guide available in Russian, which was a great bonus and made the visit even more enjoyable. We didn't make a reservation in advance and simply bought our tickets on-site. There was enough room for all visitors on the ferry, both on the way there and on the return trip. The entire visit took about 3 hours, including the ferry ride. There is plenty to see and explore, and the ferry ride itself is part of the experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco. I highly recommend visiting!

Visiting Alcatraz Island was easily one of the highlights of our trip. My wife and I had an amazing experience from start to finish. The ferry ride over offers incredible views of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the bay, making the trip itself worth it. Once on the island, the history is fascinating. Walking through the old prison and listening to the self guided audio tour really brings the stories of the inmates and guards to life. You can explore the cell blocks, solitary confinement, the recreation yard, and so many other areas while learning about famous inmates and the prison’s history. It is incredibly well done and keeps you engaged the entire time. The scenery is just as impressive as the history. The views from the island are absolutely breathtaking, and there are so many great photo opportunities. It is hard to believe such a beautiful place once housed one of the most famous prisons in the world. Everything was well organized, the staff was friendly, and the island was clean and easy to explore at your own pace. If you are visiting San Francisco, this is a must do attraction. My wife and I had an awesome time and would recommend it to anyone.

Great experience! We booked the tour 5 months in advance to make sure we secured a spot for our visit as we didn't want to miss out. The ferry ride was quick, but it was packed! There were a lot of people. Once on the island you could space out away from the crowds in parts. The view of the bay, the bridge and island were incredible. The history in this place is astonishing! We did the self guided audio tour which was great as we could take our time. If you're visiting San Francisco, Alcatraz Island is not to be missed! Worth every cent!

Right then… picture this. A freezing boat ride across the bay, a lump of rock in the middle of nowhere, and a prison full of blokes who thought they were a lot cleverer than they actually were. Turns out, it’s absolutely brilliant. The audio tour is the real star of the show. You’re not just looking at empty cells—you’ve got former guards and inmates telling the story in your ears, and before long you’re wandering around thinking, "How on earth did anyone fancy escaping from this?" The place has a proper atmosphere. You can almost hear the clanging doors, the shouted orders, and the constant reminder that freedom was only a mile away… but might as well have been the Moon. The views back across San Francisco are worth the ticket alone, which feels almost unfair considering how miserable the inmates must have felt staring at them every day. Everything was well organised, the ferry ran like clockwork, and for what you get, it’s cracking value. Give yourself a few hours, take your time, and don’t rush it. If you’re in San Francisco and you skip Alcatraz, you’ve mugged yourself off. Five stars.

The Alcatraz museum and tour were absolutely fascinating and easily one of the highlights of our trip. There is so much history packed into one relatively small island, and actually walking through the cellblocks and seeing the cells, dining hall, and other areas makes the stories you've heard about Alcatraz feel much more real. The audio tour was especially well done and added a lot to the experience without making it feel like you were sitting through a history lecture. Between the prison history, the incredible views of San Francisco, and simply being able to explore such an iconic place, it was well worth the visit. Definitely something I'd recommend doing at least once. Just don't miss the boat back.

Brought my guests here on multiple occasions and it is worth it. You get an audio guided tour, have time to explore on your own, educational videos, live talks, a garden, great views of the city and bridges, and 3 optional times to get back on the ferry. Incredibly windy and cold. Recommend booking in advance, although there is a standby line available. The hot dog vendors right outside are bomb.

Spectacular scenery, trees and hiking. Beautiful National Park, numerous venues cover a large area. Lots of wonderful scenic drives and great hiking trails. A definite "don’t miss this" National Park!

Awe-inspiring. Everything is so large that it makes you feel tiny. Even the clovers are huge. Be sure to see the elk and to pick out a trail or two. We took the Karl Knapp trail to the Big Tree and the Cathedral trail back to the visitor center. Cathedral was a bit more effort, but beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place. The towering redwood trees are incredible, and the scenery feels completely different from anywhere else. The trails are well worth exploring, and it’s a perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and take in the views. Definitely a must-visit!

Great trip. Redwood National and State Parks, National park, California, United States. Five stars, a week ago, 33 views. On a bike trip and went into the land of the giants road, wow what an experience to see these giant trees. We rode north from San Francisco on three Harleys, you can see us in the photos, the ocean cliff shot near Trinidad, foggy Pacific behind us, and my bike parked downtown in Ferndale. The road into the giants is Avenue of the Giants, 31 miles of canopy, light barely reaching the ground. Standing next to a trunk like the one in my third photo, bark thick as a mattress, wider than my bike is long, you feel tiny. We walked Stout Grove, Lady Bird Johnson, air cool, silent except for creaking wood. Motel parking lot in Crescent City with the bikes loaded as in the fourth image, we were tired but buzzing. No crowds, easy pull-offs, well marked trails. Bring layers, rain gear, boots, and take your time, these trees are two thousand years old. Respect the roots, stay on trails. If you ride, this is a must do stretch of Highway 101. Bucket list ride checked, already talking about doing it again.

I was fortunate to spend 2 months out here for work. I mean amazing! I don't have the words for all the things I saw. There are many different variations of the Park to explore. The one which I am showing here is in the Park. The coast with its ocean, beaches, and forest is my review. I hope you like the pics. Yes, I actually collected 213 sand dollars for my daughter.

Both the national and state parks in the state of California are top notch. This is an extra special treat as it's jointly managed by the state and federal parks systems. The Redwoods are hard to describe and photos will never do them justice. This area of the state is unbelievably gorgeous from the sheer density of beautiful trees to the cliffs of the Pacific. Not to mention the wild Elk and other animals. Everyone should visit here and gather an understanding of how truly special these trees and this area are.

An unforgettable place to experience the majestic redwood trees. It’s amazing to see these towering trees, some with trunks so massive that they’ve survived forest fires despite being hollowed out. The walking trails are beautiful and peaceful, making it a perfect day out in nature. Parking and basic restroom facilities are available, making the visit comfortable and convenient. Highly recommended to go to visiting centre first for the video before going for the same

This land mark offers a unique view that one can only feel when you are on this spot . Be careful do not park in the fire lane which you end up paying huge amount . Parking is not easily available you have to wait for your turn to come . Parking is free , you are only allowed to park here only 15 minutes , if you exceed you have to pay huge amount. Opposite side of the sign you can have very natural view including a water reservoir. Week ends are more crowded . You can find here Juices , fresh fruits and coffee . You can even pay and have your photograph taken by expert photographers.

While it's fun to see the famous sign in person, there is a major issue with trying to park here. Good luck! Plus, one side of the street is unlimited time parking but the opposite side is only 15 minutes, and you better believe they were getting their money out of violations. The large crowds and the concessionaires selling coffee, fruit, and snacks really kill the atmosphere. Plus, there are "influencers" everywhere trying to get the perfect picture. Worth seeing once, but the crows make it a disappointment.

Iconic place in Los Angeles. From the park below, we can take photos of Hollywood sign. We could see the place on our second visit because of lack of parking places. Only roadside parking is available. Though there’s a signboard showing 15 minutes parking, it is not sufficient.

The observatory has awesome views of the LA valley!!! Could see the Hollywood sign at a distance and take photos, but not obvious if I could drive or walk to get close to the sign, guess I'll have to do more research next time. Very crowded for a Friday afternoon 🤪 , but manageable. Free parking on the side of the road after you go through the tunnel as you start up the hill towards the observatory with a bit of a walk, but as you get closer to the observatory they start self pay, maybe the last 30% of the hill. At the top of the hill, not relatively far from the observatory they have self pay parking for $20 per hour. Only reserved or expensive pay parking after the observatory. You could loop back around if you want to check out parking first, then go back and find a parking spot, but may add 20 minutes extra to make the circle back around. I hustled around to all the awesome views around the observatory and a quick trip into the observatory to look around, in 45 minutes, so one hour was sufficient of you don't linger to much. Busy Restrooms by the parking on top of the hill, also restrooms inside the observatory main entrance that didn't look busy at all. Did I say AWESOME views of the valley, and well worth the visit.

Pretty tough hike, but well worth it. It’s difficult to find out where to park and when, but there’s numerous parking options. Each parking option will change the hiking distance, terrain, difficulty. All things considered, some of the most stunning views of LA you can get in one of the best parks ever.

An iconic landmark that lives up to its legend The Hollywood Sign is one of those bucket list sights that genuinely delivers when you see it in person. Whether you spot it from the Griffith Observatory, Lake Hollywood Park or hike up close through Griffith Park, the experience is memorable and the views over Los Angeles are spectacular. The hike to get near the sign is accessible for most fitness levels and well worth the effort for the photo opportunities alone. That said, you can't actually touch or stand directly in front of the letters, the closest viewpoints are still some distance away, which surprises many first time visitors. Parking in the area can be a real headache, especially on weekends. Go early in the morning for the best light, fewer crowds and easier parking. A true LA icon not to be missed.

You can’t visit Los Angeles without seeing the Hollywood Sign! It’s such an iconic landmark. This spot offered a decent view for a photo, though it's definitely a bit of a hike or drive to get the perfect angle. Even on a cloudy day, it feels surreal to see it in person. Pro tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds and the heat!

I love to tour Capitols and this measures up. Our tour guide was fine and the restaurant in the lower level is decent. They had 2 very interesting photography exhibits at the time I was there. The museum is composed of the entire first floor, made up of historic rooms from the 1900s. From the Governor’s offices to the Treasury.

What a great experience! (Free!) Inside and out the Capitol is gorgeous. They've restored early 1900 state official offices and it's quite remarkable. Tours available on top of the hour from employees dressed for that time period and a wealth of information. California is impressive and it took a lot of help from these people who have graced the halls! Additionally, the whole area surrounding Capitol has lots to see and is beautifully landscaped.

I thought I would see Gavin Newsom in the governors office. My only disappointment on this visit. Also the Spanish version of the state constitution is secured at the archive office and not here. But this building is so full of historic exhibits and architectural beauty.

Interesting and very informative. Did not expect this enormous part of the Capitol to be available for public. Completely free if you are not interested in tours, which are available. The tour guides make it even more interesting and informative than it is. Very recommended!

This is a wonderful place to explore stunning architecture and learn about California’s state history. They offer free guided tours, and if you’re lucky, you can even witness live Senate sessions in progress. When we visited, Barry gave us the tour and shared fascinating historical details, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Impressive and royal Capitol. Wish I could see inside . Very nice lawn outside and fun fact is you can actually see tower bridge right standing outside capitol( although few blocks away)

California State Capitol Museum is a great place to learn about California’s history and government in a beautiful historic building right in downtown Sacramento. The restored rooms, exhibits, and artwork make the visit interesting even if you are not very into politics.​ The museum is located inside the working Capitol, so you can walk through the historic offices, see the rotunda, and sometimes even peek into the Assembly and Senate chambers when they are in session. There are free guided tours on weekdays that run about an hour and give a lot of background on the building, governors, and legislative process.​ Admission to the museum is free, which makes it an easy stop if you are exploring downtown or nearby Capitol Park. The grounds around the building are also worth a walk, with monuments, gardens, and plenty of spots for photos.​ Overall, it is a very informative and budget‑friendly attraction for both visitors and locals, and a good way to get a feel for California’s history and how the state government works.

The natural Majesty of this place will take your breath away. The peace and tranquility that surrounds you in this epically ancient forest. You don't just observe these trees. You feel their energies. Seeing these massive Sequoia trees has been a lifelong dream of mine and I am truly grateful to have had this experience. Please come experience these graceful Giants. Don't rush the experience. Let them speak to you.

This is such a fantastic place. The views are amazing. And for us, it's in our back yard. Just 27 miles from the park entrance.

How did you let this place burn up? Do you have no fire fighting capacity? No parking! The website said you were closed.. but We drove to the General! No closed.

I have always loved the Sequoia national Park. The trees are beautiful. It's beautiful there and we used to go when I was a kid every summer and camp. My dad had an old army tent. It housed our whole big family all right. Have a good day. God bless

Do you like nature? I thought so. So go see nature!

U r driving uphill and suddenly the big sequoias show up. Trails are really nice. I recommend the long trails since it’s not overcrowded and it’s better to get relax and get good pics

We did the Trails of 100 Giants. It cost $12 to park. We got there early ~8am and only two other cars so it was great to walk and just be amazed. It’s hard to grasp what a fire can do to a beautiful place. You will drive through burned woods for miles.

We had a great experience visiting Forestiere Underground Gardens. The underground gardens were a unique place to explore, and the history behind how they were created was very interesting. Learning about the vision and work that went into building the gardens made the visit even more memorable. I especially enjoyed seeing the chapel area and the variety of fruit trees throughout the property. The site was clean and well maintained. Overall, Forestiere Underground Gardens was a fascinating and unique experience that was well worth visiting.

This is a fun and historical place to visit with your young ones. The history is so interesting and the place is amazing. I visited this place in the late 70's and was lucky enough to get to visit with Lorainne who was the wife of the nephew. I just recently took my wife, daughter, grandson, granddaughter and daughter in law. The docents were friendly, knowledgeable and we got to talk a bit about my previous visit. It was a great time and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. The place is kind of hard to find and the parking sucks as there is only street parking available. Go early so you can park and then hike/walk in. It's best to buy your tickets before hand although you can purchase at the for but may have to wait a while for your your to start.

What a hidden treasure. We’re grateful to the Forestiere family for still owning and restoring *Forestiere Underground Gardens* for the public. It’s clearly one man’s vision and 40 years of hand-dug hard work. Not a single minute of our 1-hour tour felt wasted — walking through those underground rooms and tunnels is a true marvel. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Once you hear his stories, you’ll become a fan of the builder, Mr. Baldasare, too. It’s a must-see Fresno attraction. The grounds are well maintained, toilets are clean, and the gift shop prices are reasonable. They operate by reservation only, so please book ahead and support them when you’re in town. Overall, an incredible place built by an incredible person, Mr. Baldasare. Parking is on the roadside. Pls arrive 15 min prior to your reservation schedule.

This was a guided tour and reservations needed to be made. The tour is guided by a guide. Our guides name was Braiden and she was very knowledgeable for the tour. It was an interesting to see the tour. They explained where he came from and why he turn the land into a dream. It was fun and interesting and the gift store at the end supports the site.

I had such a great time visiting the Forestiere Underground Gardens. The only tricky part was finding the entrance because of some construction, but parking was super easy — free street parking right out front. We bought our tickets when we arrived, and they do offer a military discount, which was nice. The tour itself was about 45 minutes to an hour. It’s a small group tour; for us, it was just my friend, myself, and one other person, which made it feel more personal and easier to enjoy. Since it is an underground garden, some of the spaces are a bit smaller, so the small group size definitely helps. There are bathrooms available, and it was a little chilly underground, so I’d recommend bringing something cozy to stay warm. Overall, it was a beautiful and really unique experience. I definitely recommend going — and I’ll be going back again!

Don’t judge this place by its exterior—it’s easily one of the best attractions in Fresno. It’s incredibly remarkable and unique. The story of one man who moved here from Italy to grow citrus and created something so extraordinary is truly special. The result feels almost like stepping into a fantasy. Reservations are available, and you can call ahead to book a tour. Parking is in the back alley. The surrounding area isn’t the nicest, and they definitely deserve better advertising—but I absolutely loved this place!

Interesting place to visit, one hour guided tour was fantastic! Our hostess knew so much about the gardens. She had an answer for all our questions! It’s been paved, so mud really isn’t an issue any longer. It was May and cool so the weather was perfect. I was comfortable in my flip flops. Really cool to see how the owner lived underground his whole time in Fresno!

Compared to parks like Yellowstone, Zion, or Yosemite, Kings Canyon is relatively small, but the visitor center is definitely worth a stop. I was surprised by how informative it was. The small museum does a great job explaining the park's history, geology, and wildlife, and I ended up learning a lot during my visit. The gift shop was another highlight. There was a really nice selection of souvenirs, and many of them were high quality with beautiful designs that felt more unique than the typical tourist items.

I couldnt wait to take this trip and see kings. And it did not disappoint, stopping at the grant tree and coming up theres so many turn around where your going to stop and take pictures and take in the vibe. But once you get to the canyon its insane. You want to know freedom and not go to the statue of liberty come here.

Loved Kings Canyon National Park! So grateful that this amazing place is being protected. The giant sequoias, the deep canyons, the high Sierra wilderness, just amazing. Thank you

We were visiting with relatives in the Dinuba California area,and took a day trip to Kings Canyon to refresh my memory of the magnificent Sequoia trees, some of which are thousands of years old. It is inspiring to see how they have survived the test of time. You can camp, take a picnic lunch and enjoy nature.

It was snowing when I am there. 4wd or chain is required. Too bad I can't see much but the drive yo the park is beautiful and treacherous

We were there early on an April morning which I'm sure contributed to there not being crowds or lines. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I found the displays and videos interesting. If you're interested in learning about forests , a variety of trees (particularly the huge trees), as well as local and national park history this is a great stop!

Convenience store so everything is expensive but worth it if ya need it. The older lady was so nice and welcoming. They have a lot of visitors. Bathrooms are nice and souvenir shop is filled with treasures. I would recommend gettting something from them!

We had a really enjoyable day with A Day in LA Tours. It’s a long day, but it’s a fantastic way to see many of Los Angeles’ most famous sights without the stress of driving yourself. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept us entertained throughout the journey with interesting commentary and a great selection of music. The tour was well organised, and we had plenty of opportunities to stop, explore, and take photos. The only slight disappointment for us was that we had hoped to stop by some celebrity homes, but that wasn’t included in the itinerary. That was more our expectation than the tour itself. Overall, it was a great experience with good service and excellent value for anyone wanting to see the highlights of LA in a single day. We’d definitely recommend it.

We had a fantastic experience with A Day in LA Tours on the Best of LA tour, including Hollywood, Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica, Venice, and Rodeo Drive and so so much more! The trip left on time, the pickup and drop-off location was easy and convenient, and we arrived back within the estimated time. Left at 7:30am sharp and arrived back at 6:10pm the Anahiem Garden location. The van/bus was very comfortable and had plenty viewing opportunities with the large windows. The sites were phenomenal, and the amount of time at each stop felt just right. Our driver, George, was very informative, helpful, and clear with communication throughout the entire trip. We booked with multiple children, and both the company and George were very accommodating, which made the experience even better for our family. We really enjoyed the tour and are so glad we went. I highly recommend A Day in LA Tours, and especially George!

Highly recommend this tour. Especially our Steve. He grew up in La and knows every little corner . Very educational and fun. Way to go Steve. We saw Venice beach. Santa monica, Beverly hills and much more . Came here from Stl to watch Bosnia play again Switzerland. Love that World cup is in the USA. Lets just hope Bosnia wins. Thanks again Steve ….

I flew into LAX to see my brother in Idyllwild, and decided to spend a few days in LA. While I had lived in the Bay Area in the mid-1980s, I hadn't spent any/much time in LA since my childhood in the 1960s. And, my eldest Daughter, from Tennessee, had never been to the West Coast. Given our limited time and hesitation to drive/park in LA, we booked the day tour of LA with "A Day in LA Tours." It was absolutely the best tour I've taken anywhere (and I travel a lot). The organization and planning was top-notch. The shuttle was great. The tour guide was spectacular — extremely knowledgeable and entertaining (and a screenwriter when not giving tours). We saw many of LA's most-famous sights (see photos), had ample time to explore, and never had to worry about traffic, getting lost, or finding a parking space. I give "A Day in LA Tours" my highest rating (and then some).

Glad I booked this tour as I only had two days in LA and I didn’t have to worry about transport so I got all the touristy stuffs checked! Our guide was Jeff and he was awesome!! His knowledge about California is good too and he had nice Californian music to accompany our journey. Thank you for a great and smooth tour!

Highly Recommend: Our family of 4 (2 adult sons) literally had one day to spend in LA after returning from a cruise. We thought the day in LA tour would work best for us! We were right! We were able to hit all of the highlights on a tour that we could not have done by ourselves. Starting at the Santa Monica Pier, moving on to Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, the Griffith Observatory (view of Hollywood sign), all sights in between and ending with the Star Walk of Fame. So well laid out and organized. Thank you to our tour guide Jeff V. who was amazing, knowledgeable, and entertained us with movie and tv song selections during the drive. Did I say Highly Recommended! If all you have is a day, this is how you should spend it.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Key! From the moment we met her, she was warm, kind, and welcoming. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information throughout the tour, making every stop engaging and memorable. Most importantly, she made us feel safe and well taken care of the entire time. Her professionalism, friendly personality, and attention to detail truly made our experience enjoyable. Thanks to Key, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional tour guide. Thank you, Key, for making our trip so special!

We had such a great experience at Cat Haven! It's about a 45-minute drive from Fresno and was absolutely worth the trip. The guided tour is about a ¼-mile trail where you'll see around 15 different species of wild cats. The guides are very knowledgeable and share interesting facts about each animal while explaining the important conservation work Cat Haven supports. The tour lasts about an hour, with tours running throughout the day (just note there are no tours between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.). Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, and dress for the weather. If you visit during the summer, be prepared—it gets very hot! If you love animals and want to learn more about wild cat conservation, I highly recommend visiting Cat Haven. It's a fun, educational experience for both kids and adults.

I love this place! The tour guide was awesome and informative. Our favorite cat was Jet, he was rubbing all over his giant tube it reminded us of our house panther back home. We will definitely be back and I recommend to anyone who is a fan of big cats.

What a great experience. Walker, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable about every single cat in the conservation. He made the tour enjoyable. Most cats were sleeping since it was a hot day, but they were close enough to take pictures. I learned so much about felines.

Cat Haven was truly a special experience. We went to the first tour of the day so the cats were very active. i really appreciated our guides extensive knowledge. You can tell she is very passionate about the cats. I was fully engaged and learned alot during the tour. We had the pleasure of having two guides, one was in training and i loved her, she was so sweet and just easy to talk to and connect with. Both ladies made our day very special and we will definitely be back again.

Took my husband on a surprise tour of this place for his bday and he loved it.. we both did! The cats are beautiful and the staff are so wonderful. We learned so much and would definitely stop by again if we are in the area again. Love what they're doing 🙌💛

Our guide was pretty knowledgable and nice and informative, but there was just something off about this place. They claimed to not be involved in any shady business to get the big cats, but when asked about where certain ones came from, they definitely avoided the question. They did explain how the founder would go around to different countries to get the cats. Then inside the museum there are plenty of photos of people doing just that… hunting and trapping the animals in other countries. So… not sure how they can claim that they are just "rescuing" the animals when it seems like a number of them were hunted and removed from their habitats. Maybe I'm wrong, but they avoided answering the questions and the information given seemed to point in the opposite direction of what they claimed. TL;DR: Animals were nice, not sure how good I feel morally after visiting.

Please support this amazing cause! The wait for a tour was about 20 minutes. The guided tour is probably 80 minutes long. You see around 25 cats. They have tigers, lions, cheetahs etc.
