literally its a small tub you walk through and hopefully at the end of the tunnel you see A lion sometimes, i mean its free what do you expect. though i guess you can pay to walk in and hold a baby lion but other than that not much action happenin over there!

I love the glass tunnel where you can see the lions walk right above you. The exhibit is nice and i could watch the lions all day. I loved taking my pic wiht the lion cubs too. The owner of the lions has a ranch where the lions stay and roam free. The lions take turns in the exhibit (he... More

I don't know how people reviewed this attraction in April 2012. I went to go see the lion habitat and was told that it closed on Jan. 31st, 2012.
