Worth the money to see these beauties. - The animals here are all very well cared for and look very healthy and alert. We loved hearing their stories. It’s unfortunate that any animal has to be in captivity but there are good reasons here. Any of the tours are good and informative. I believe Stacey was our guide and she was great! She also dealt with answering a lot of questions from our group.

Loving Home for all Cats - We try to support all kinds of wildlife that is endangered. This is the first time to this sanctuary and I must say these people do it right. The place was exceptionally clean NO cat odor at all for as many cats as they have. These cats are no human contact but you can tell they are very comfortable around the care givers and are truly loved even when they come to the sanctuary damaged. Very impressive place!

Great Tiger Experience! - Seeing the tigers up close was awesome. They really care for the animals; they seem happy and content. They are almost tame: they followed the guide like a pet would. Awesome experience. I learned a lot and the guide answered questions; never seemed rushed or anxious.

Not to miss - This was our 3rd time here in 4 years. We live in WA state, and it’s the one place my college age son wants to visit on our annual trips to take him down south for school. An amazing up close and personal, very informative but perfectly laidback place. Every tour guide we’ve had has been enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the beautiful cats on the property. Questions are encouraged. These cats are gorgeous, happy and healthy! A++++

Hidden gem! - Took my 9 year old granddaughter on this tour. We both loved it. We both found out so many interesting facts about tigers and lions. We were on the 9am tour on a cool August day. The cats were pretty active. We got to hear a lion choir, which was beautiful! My granddaughter was able to ask lots of questions and our guide was happy to answer her. This is a hidden gem in the Branson area.

National Tiger Sanctuary Riding Tour - I am 77 so we took the riding tour. Our Guide was Rachel. She is an intern at the facility, and she was a wonderful guide. She is young and exuberant and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. She told us about the animals and shared some humorous stories of the residents. We all agreed that it was a 5-star experience. Thank you tripadvisor for making us aware of this opportunity.
