"I lived in Lake arrowhead for most of my life, went here when I was younger, and had an amazing time, even participated in a pumpkin carving contest they held and won! I remember that the experience was inexpensive, and that they were open at least a few days a week. Now it's expensive, only available by reservation, and only open one day a week. Very sad because although I would love to bring friends when I visit, it's just not possible. For a town with very little to do, it used to be a gem."
"We visited Wildhaven Ranch this afternoon. What an amazing experience. An absolutely charming director. Knowledgeable staff. Spectacular ambassador animals, including bobcat, golden eagle, and of course the bears. And they do the good work of rescuing injured native species and releasing them back into the wild. We definitely recommend a visit. We will be back."
"Such a cool experience! The animals were amazing and the tour hosts were super knowledge. Such a great cause for animals who would've died or been abandoned! We did the extra bear feeding and it was an awesome end to the tour."
"Wildhaven is a sanctuary for hurt or abandoned wild animals, where they are either rehabilitated and released back into the wild, or if that isn't possible, kept and cared for. It's obvious the staff (paid and volunteers) care deeply for the animals. They give tours by reservation, and the staff is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit!"
"Loved the experience, they had the viewing of the animals set up nicely. It was very interesting. Loved the howling coyotes and how we have a better understanding of them now. We live in coyote country and have always hated the howling now that we understand it better it won't be so bad. I would definitely visit again."
