👍👍 This was an absolutely phenomenal place! It’s a very educational tour of some awesome animals. You can tell the animals are well taken care of and loved. Seeing kangaroos in person and interacting with them and the other animals will be one of my highlights of the year! 5 big stars from us!

Liberty Acres Animal Haven & Equine Rescue
Zoo
👍 At 15 per adult and 13 per child, it is a little pricey, but the money goes where needed for the animals. You do get pretty close to animals you may or may not have seen before. And there were a few of them that you got to touch. They are located in a very desolate area, so bring some drinks and...

👍👍 This animal sanctuary is a true labour of love. I am in awe at the small staff yet how well the animals are cared for. Every exquisite animal (carnivores excluded) had their own carefully cut fresh produce. It must have taken hours just to prepare their breakfast. The water bowls were clean eve...

👍👍 Love this place! As an animal lover and mama I was ecstatic. The place is much bigger than I realized. Place doesn't smell horrid like other places I've been. The animals are happy and well taken care of. Many of the birds love the attention and will talk or come towards you when you talk to them. T...

👍👍 Hey it's the NC Zoo and yes the food is high, the gift shop full of souvenirs (look vlosely for a few cool things though) but you are supporting the zoo. 😉 The junction is the literally the junction between North America and Africa at the zoo. It is a hike to cover just North America so if you have...

👍👍 I am so thankful to have a natural habitat Zoo close to home. I get to go several times a year and never get tired of seeing these amazing animals! Can’t wait for Asia in 2026! Giraffe feeding from 10-2 is worth the money!

Before, Lots of animal and lots of room for them, fresh bedding, etc. This time.... It's almost as if it has gotten out of control...
