“a different kind of zoo”
Tiger World is a nonprofit animal conservation and educational center dedicated to rescue, rehabilitation, and preservation of exotic animals. We are open to the public for educational guided tours and walkabout self-guided tours in Rockwell, NC. Tiger World is a different kind of Zoo. We are dedicated to the conservation and education of all threatened and endangered species. Our educational tours personally guide visitors throughout the preserve learning about each animal providing an individual hands on experience. You will see the animals in a natural setting and have the opportunity to observe them running, playing, swimming, eating, sleeping, and interacting with their handlers.
Small enclosures, animals seemed bored and upset, animals were clearly overheated and had hardly any enrichment (toys, etc). We were given an option to feed the bears, wolves, monkeys, and birds, had to do so by throwing food at the animals through their cages. Animals seemed desperate and were pacing in anticipation of the dog food mixtures. I think the only people enjoying the exhibits were the parents of small children who weren't concerned for the well- being of the animals.
My family and I loved it here. So many different animals and you don’t have to walk very far to see them all!
