I visited Mystic Jungle 5/14 and my husband and I were thrilled. Immediately upon entering the property we received warm welcomes by the owners and staff. They are eager to share their knowledge of the big cats, animals and reptiles. I literally had goosebumps and tears in my eyes from joy seeing the amount of love the owner and her staff have for these amazing creatures you get to see SO UP CLOSE!!! yes. This is NOT a zoo experience, or where animals are forced to perform. They are given opportunity to socialize with others and their caregivers. our tour guide was so enthusiastic to share his knowledge and to make sure he was accurate in what he taught us. He really loves these animals! The grounds are easy to walk and found lots of shade so it wasn't uncomfortable on a May afternoon. They own several siblings animals which is super unique especially since they don't breed! This place is great and a must see! Had a peaceful relaxing walk around the property and the animals are gorgeous!
