Reviews of Carson Springs Wildlife Conservation Foundation
"Absolutely incredible experience! I have never seen animals so happy in captivity. My family and I learned so much and had a blast they even have a volunteer program!! Beyond appreciative for this experience!!"
"Absolutely wonderful and fun experience! The Zoologists are friendly and knowledgeable, and the ride-on scooters are so fun! The Lemur encounter is 100% worth the $45 price. All the animals seem very content; the owners and staff clearly care about the animals."
"I absolutely had a blast. We had a wonderful Tour guide and she taught us about these beautiful specimens from tigers, to big cats, to lemurs. There were peacocks roaming the sky and some lovely little furry cat co-workers on foot who kept us all company. My favorite animals were the cheetahs and of course the lemurs who gave us a chance to pet them (ask for Sweetcakes)! The lemurs experience was so much fun! Afterwards we learned about all the ways to support this conservatory, from donations to open houses to the cute gift shop, to the open house events. Will have to attend, must see attraction right here!!! Say hi to Sunflower the tiger for me!!!"
"This place is absolutely euphoric. The animals are taken care of so well. As a vet tech that works with exotics I am very critical and I was impressed. The staff is so friendly. Shout out to Lily who was super sweet and knowledgeable. The owners passion really shows. The establishment is very well kept. Scarlet was def my favorite animal and the Lemur experience made me cry because it was just so dang cute. Every penny was worth it and I absolutely will be back."
"Had an amazing time on a private walking tour with my husband. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. My husband arranged it as a surprise for me, including feeding experiences, and she helped him keep it a secret until the end. I loved hearing the backgrounds of the animals, watching them interact, and seeing how happy they were. I would highly recommend visiting. Just know, you may not see all the animals because they either sleep during the day or are trying to keep cool. It is not the fault of the staff, you’re on the animals’ time and at their home."
