Hope Ranch

"My grandson and I visited today, and we were blown away by the numbers and varieties of animals. Gratifying to see how important their welfare is to the staff. Our guide was patient, knowledgeable, and fun! We had to cut our visit short when my grandson began feeling unwell, but we'll be back!"

"This is such a hidden gem close to Savanah. We had a tour this morning for 10 of us ranging from three years to 85 years old. Everyone really enjoyed seeing, feeding and learning about the animals. Kaylee is a great tour guide and we loved having one of the owners, Shannon, come along too!! If you haven’t been here yet, it is a must and we are looking forward to visiting again soon!"

"Very very cool! We had a great time. Messaged the owner on Facebook to see if they had any same-day availability, they were able to take us for their next tour. It was $18/person, so bring cash if you can. They also take Zelle but the service out there is a little spotty. We walked through the whole ranch, it took about 1.5 hours total. Got to see all sorts of critters, pet and feed some too. Lots of fun animal facts and the animals were clearly very well-cared for. 10/10 will go again! Some construction underway and lots of walking, might now be great for those who have trouble standing for long periods."

"When you combine a love of animals and a passion for educating kids about the importance of conservation and care, you get this wonderful ranch. Unlike a typical zoo, each tour is guided and packed with educational information related to each animal. This is the largest collection of birds I've ever seen and I've been to many zoos. I appreciate the attention to habitat design for each species. I was able to see animals I've never seen in person before and I'm 46! My daughters loved the experience, especially holding and petting allowed animals. Highly recommend a visit even if you don't have kids. Pre-Schedule your guided tour, they aren't taking walk-ins yet."

"My private party tour consisted of three 4-year olds and two other mom friends and it's safe to say that this was by far the most fantastic animal experience that I have ever had. Shannon was our guide and is an absolute treasure. She knew the names of all the animals and a lot of interesting info about the animals and the ranch. You can tell that the animals here are well taken care of and loved. All of the enclosures were clean and constructed in a way that gives plenty of space to roam. I was impressed with how close we were able to safely be to the animals as well. I cannot wait to return and am so thankful to have been invited to this one-of-a-kind experience."
