Bear Creek Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary Inc.

The information given during the tour was absolutely fantastic. We learned so much! And the way the enclosures are built, you are able to get a lot closer than at a regular zoo. Even able to interact with a few of them. Mary and her team are the epitome of heros.

Mary and her staff (literally all of them) are amazing! They're animal lovers to a whole other level. Mary is a natural with all her animals - yes including the lions and tigers! She is our bird whisperer :)

Mary and staff are very kind generous people who truly love and respect animals especially those that have been abandoned or abused. I had first hand experience how they interacted with the animals and it was humbling to see how much time and effort was expended in looking after them. Anyone reading this review should take time to view the website to see what is needed in the form of donations to help these poor animals enjoy the quality of life they deserve.

Amazing experience, such an awesome trip for our group, incredible people and such a beautiful facility. We will definitely be back!

They are truly amazing!!!!We had a little bird who flew into our work window yesterday, then eventually flew away we thought. However, this morning we found the bird on the sidewalk again bouncing around- looked like it was in really rough shape. Then it tried flying again and bounced off of a car and went belly up.We got the bird and initially brought it to SPCA where they turned us away , didn't even seem to care at all and told us to find somewhere to get it put down.So my co-worker and I drove the bird to Bear Creek Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary where immediately they took action to help the little bird in which it seems like it will be okay!!!They are super caring and knowledgeable. Really cared about the outcome of the little bird.Highly recommend!!!! :)

They do fantastic work. They rescue injured, orphaned, and zoo overflow animals.Guided Tours are available.They were the only place that would take a lone baby duck that we found in our pool.Also, I loved the fact that on their website you can donate money, or you can purchase things they need to care for the animals from an Amazon wish list that gets shipped directly to them. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.

Absolutely an amazing sanctuary with amazing people working there. My father in law had found an abandoned baby squirrel and brought it to me. I cared for it while I waited to find somewhere that would take him that would also care for him and not put him to sleep. I eventually stumbled upon Bear Creek Sanctuary. I spoke with a woman named Mary who was so nice and assured me that she would take the squirrel and he would be safe and cared for. When I brought the baby squirrel, the staff put him in the nursery and assured me that he will eventually be moved to an outdoor enclosure with other squirrels where he would learn to climb and forge for food and eventually be released back into the wild. They do give tours here. Amazing people with big hearts!

This place is amazing. The animals are well taken care of, and given plenty of proper nutrition. Mary, and her team of volunteers, are passionate, and truly love what they do. This is a very selfless job to take care of so many animals in need from Siberian tigers all the way to small racoons. Aside from a very interesting and informative 3+ hour tour, some highlights include: interacting with a bobcat on a leash, hearing a powerful lion roar, shaking a spider monkey's hand, and more. Well worth the modest $50 tour price for the once in a lifetime experience.

Wonderful staff; very caring! Took a little bird there today that had hit our office window and tumbled into a parked car. Appreciated that we would take the time to bring the bird to them! I would highly recommend them!We visited the SPCA first as it was closer. They didn't take the time to even look at the bird and informed us they didn't have a vet to euthanize the bird....we were not impressed

Most amazing animal tour I've ever had. Both the girlfriend and I had the best time ever. Thank you Mary!
