This was one of our favorite things to do in Sault Ste Marie ON. The founders are a darling retired couple and they are caring for some amazing critters. Well worth your time and money. Amazing value here with lots of photo ops. It is stroller friendly with a picnic and play area.

They were great with my dog. And the price was perfect. Very affordable

I guess we should have expected as much from a zoo outside of Sault Ste Marie but as there wasn't must else to do my girlfriend and I decided to check it out. We went off a brochure in the lobby rather than reading the reviews. As most of the other reviewers have noted, the place is awful. As animal-lovers, we were appalled. There are indeed two large lions at the entrance and I inquired from the owner about them. She told me they were born in captivity. But they had made no attempt to engage their natural instincts mentally or physically. They were laying about in a large pen. We continued on to see if the cage was larger but instead found it packed in with pens for several other animals. Including a coyote that was just laying about like my dogs at home. All were in small, uninteresting pens. They seemed to basically be kept as pets. We had to leave as my girlfriend was close to tears. Indeed we both felt traumatized by the experience and resolved to share this information with as many people as we can. Do not support this zoo.

This "zoo" does not have the knowledge, expertise, nor the finances to adequately care for the melange of animals on its premises. The owners should have a heart and allow the animals to be taken to sanctuaries by Zoocheck. This is a sad excuse for a zoo and I had to leave because it made me sick to see the horribly lacking conditions the animals are forced to live in.

Needs to be shut down... as many others have mentioned the "zoo" does not have the adequate funds to care for these animals. Owners should let them go to a sanctuary

So their website says they are open until October 31, but they were closed when we stopped there on the 18th. The woman chuckled, “The zoo is closed for the season!” when my husband said we were there for the zoo. My nine-year-old future vet burst into tears as we left. This was the one thing she wanted to do on school vacation. I guess saying your website is “under construction” is code for don’t trust our information. Based on many bad reviews and the defensive tone of the owner’s information, I was afraid the conditions would be upsetting to my child. She was willing to judge for herself, knowing it might upset her. Instead her heart was broken for different reasons. If your website is not accurate and you can’t understand a simple calendar, I question if you really know and understand far more complex things like diet and health of various animals. We will not be planning another visit to this place.

We came to the zoo at 4:45 to see the animals before they closed it would have gave us an hour and 15 minutes but the people would not let us in because they were too busy drinking in their trailer

Terrible conditions for the animals. This place should be shut down.

Government sanctioned animal abuse on display! If this place does not shock your conscience, then you probably don’t have one.
