This place is amazing. Yes, it's a bit heartbreaking when you hear the stories, but that's part of the education and I'm glad they do it. But the experience - being so close, hearing their sounds, really feeling as though you're interacting (because you are - they see you and they react with noises and movement and everything else and... more

I loved every minute of this tour. I learned so much about cat behavior, wild as well as house cats. It was hot out but there is alot of trees so it was a very shady walk. Don't wear good shoes, the paths are dirt. I can't wait to visit again. more

This was an incredible experience- WELL worth the money. I went on the morning tour and got to see lots of different animals. I was only 3 feet from many different felines. I videotaped much of the hour and a half tour, and have enjoyed watching scenes from it over and over again in the less than a month since... more

We went to the 3:00 tour, we lucked out that it was cloudy and most of the cats were out and active. Very sad to learn the stories behind these beautiful creatures but good to know they are in a safe and caring environment now. Really enjoyed seeing them so close. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely the highlight of... more

I randomly saw this online as a thing to do, then my friend who lives in Tampa also suggested it. It was an informative little attraction, and as a crazy cat lady, I loved seeing the cats up close. We went to the 930 tour, and I imagine that would be better than mid day due to the heat. It's... more

We really enjoyed our time at the Big Cat Rescue. We took the Saturday morning kids tour to accomodate our 6 year old. I would certainly recommend going early in the day! It get's very hot. It was comfortable when we were there. Don't forget your bug spray! The tour was an hour long, walking tour. You have to keep... more

My family and I did the Keeper Tour on Saturday June 3 2009.We were shown around by one of the keepers called Sue.She had a vast knowledge of the cats big and small ( the cats themselves and the breed).The 2 plus hours we spent there was the highlight of our trip to Florida.The cats are well cared for and... more

One of the reviewers was disppointed that things have changed but unfortunately that is due to the public not listening. You will see animals here that are no where else in the world such as the white civet (sp?). You will never get close to such an assortment of exotic animals anywhere else. There are black leopards, white tigers,sno leopards... more

Big Cat rescues big cats. Lions, tigers, panthers. We went on a 1:30 p.m. tour. WAY too hot, go in the morning. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and cost about $25 per person. It was interesting but still sad to see big cats in small cages. The tour is half shade and half sun. I enjoyed it but wouldn't... more
