This is the place for serious cat lovers to visit. Unlike many other sanctuaries and zoos, this is specifically a breeding compound. The goal is to keep these species propagated and prevent them from becoming extinct. Extinction is a very real…More »
Back to Nature is to date the only organization we have ever donated money to who called us to say thanks! A personal phone call -- wow. Awesome.
A trip to central Florida wouldn't be complete without a visit to Back to Nature. We visited in the…More »
Furkids is one of my favorite animal advocacy organizations to donate to. It's the biggest cageless, lifetime-of-the-animal pet shelter in Georgia. It has a network of foster homes and seven full-time adoption centers! They help about 1,000 animals…More »
Monkey Jungle is a must-go if you're in the area and love, or even like, monkeys. It's a very special place. You get to feed monkeys, who will let you know they want food by extending their little containers to you. It's too cool!

One of my very favorite zoos. Fantastic animals, beautiful photo ops, and great exercise walking the wonderful grounds. This is definitely on the list for if we ever return to Miami.
If you're in the area and like zoos, go here! The city ought to be…More »
I've been here a couple of times without paying because free admission to this place is included with admission to Discovery Cove, its sister park down the street. (Read my Yelp of it if you haven't already) Even if we had to pay for it, we'd still…More »
Hey we only had an hour to spend at this great place to be able to catch our plane back to CA in time, but it was definitely an hour well spent!
The entrance to the building is an attraction in itself. It winds around for what seems like miles, up a…More »
This is a gem of a little zoo!
The staff here obviously work very hard, know and care a lot about the animals. It can't be easy to work outside with how blistering hot in can get in Oakland, and they were all doing it with smiles on their faces and…More »
This park is beautiful, and fun. A great place to walk a dog, or a cat, in my case (in his stroller). A lot of people let you pet their friendly dogs too! If you love watching squirrels, this is an ideal place to do it. Some of them are very friendly…More »

Only went for the food and lions.
Sorry, MGM, the Rainforest Cafe has sucky food and your lion exhibit is a bit sad. Not much room for those lions.
Wish the big cats had more room. They looked decently-cared for, other than that. I'm sure sometimes…More »
It's been years since I've been to this zoo, so hopefully it's improved since then.
I didn't approve of how the elephants were chained at the ankles, as were the rhinos. That sucked. Scarred me for life. A sea lion looked like its eye was infected.…More »
Awesome! Absolutely awesome!
Greyhounds are special dogs that need special love. As you know, or maybe you don't, greyhound dogs have traditionally been doomed upon their racing careers coming to an end. Therefore, rescue groups are necessary to help…More »
This is a no-kill rescue group for dogs and cats that relies exclusively on donations and volunteer foster parents, so please help!
They really let you know how much they appreciate it, even though they have their hands full with rescue duties. They…More »
