The Wild Animal Sanctuary

The Wild Animal Sanctuary currently operates with more than 9,793 acres of beautiful and natural habitat for its rescued animals to enjoy. Our animals come from horrific captive situations and are rescued and also rehabilitated so they can live and roam freely in large natural habitats with others of their own kind. The Wild Animal Sanctuary is a 9,793 acre sanctuary for more than 460 rescued animals. ​ Our facilities represent the largest carnivore sanctuary in the world, and are designed and built like no others in existence. ​ Everything about our two facilities are designed to ensure the animals' welfare remains top priority, even with the numerous modern comforts we provide our guests. ​ We have pioneered both large acreage natural habitats for our animals to live in... and have built the World's longest elevated footbridge so you can visit and see the animals without putting pressure on them like all other zoo and sanctuary displays do. ​ Learn how our "Mile Into The Wild" walkway has changed the way animals are viewed - and how it provides unwavering protection to hundreds of Lions, Tigers, Bears, Wolves, Leopards and many other rescued large carnivores.
