We visited in April 2012. It was a bargain at $12. Got to see animals up close and living in a clean facility with the hope of future release into the wild. Patricia does a great job. I would highly recommend it. We got close-up views of a 4 month old 3-toed sloth, howler monkey, kinkajou and many other species... More

We took the guided tour with Patricia, who runs the sanctuary. I HIGHLY recommend doing that rather than going on your own.
