"Love The Naturalistic Setting"
I usually despise animal rescue centers because the enclosures seem unnatural and too small. Although the Wildlife Learning Center certainly isn’t large, the naturalistic setting is gorgeous. I hope the animals that live there agree.
We were lucky enough to have the entire Center to ourselves during our weekday visit. And in spite of the Center’s pint-sized setting, we quite enjoyed ourselves, spending about 45 minutes getting to know the animals that call it home. (If you’re looking for a longer visit, you could sign up for a special tour, which runs $20/family.)
In addition to the outer enclosures, there’s also an indoor exhibit where the reptiles, amphibians and arthropods can be found. Be prepared to do a fair amount of lifting at the indoor exhibit; most cases are too high for kids to see in to.
A few other things to keep in mind:
• Trainer talks are held every hour on the hour starting at 1 p.m. on weekdays, noon on weekends
• Restroom located just inside the entrance
• No food or drinks are sold inside the Center, but picnic tables are available if you bring in your own
• Street parking only
• Small, flat, stroller-friendly setting

"Really Nice, Really Small"
This is a really nice, but small place. It was like a small backyard zoo. All the animals looked healthy and well taken care of. The cages are well maintained and clean. There is a lot of foliage so it's actually quite beautiful here. Some other animal sanctuaries are just cage and dirt. These animals had tons of shade and beautiful flowers to look at. The people who run the place could not be lovelier. Really nice, kind, and helpful. The cost is $6 for adults and $5 for kids. 2 and under are free.
It only took 30 minutes to go through, that was looking at every animal and talking about it. So that no one is surprised at how small it actually is, if you where to walk without stopping it would take you less than 3 minutes to walk by all the animals. It was worth it for me since it only cost $6. But if I was a larger family, it would be too much for what it is.
My daughter really liked that the animals where quite close. Just a small rope about a foot and a half from cage keeps you from putting your fingers through the fencing.
Check out the website for some of the animals you will see and the tours they offer.
