The One-Of-A-Kind Park In Florida Where You Can See Wild Cats Up Close

There is an animal rescue in Florida that has been helping to protect tigers, lions, and all other exotic cats for many years. Not only are Floridians able to visit this sanctuary and see the wild cats up close, but they also get to learn about what it takes to protect such special and beautiful creatures. Take a look…

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

The Big Cat Animal Rescue in Tampa, Florida has been dedicated to rescuing abused and abandoned big cats since 1992.

The sanctuary has provided a safe space for many different exotic cats over the years.

Visitors to Big Cat Sanctuary can get an up-close-and-personal look at how the rescue operates, and learn about ending the trade of these animals as pets, props, and parts.

By purchasing tickets to the Big Cat Rescue, guests can tour the property and learn all about the different cats, plus take as many photos as they like.

The only way to see the cats at the rescue is through a guided tour, so it is important to book in advance.

There is an age limit on the tour due to the topics that can be covered, so children under the age of 10 are not permitted.

Every year the sanctuary throws an event called the Wildcat Walkabout, where visitors can tour the sanctuary at their own pace.

This year, the 2018 Wildcat Walkabout is on Saturday, November 3, 2018 so make sure to reserve your spot in advance.

But if you can’t wait until November, make sure to sign up for a day tour to enjoy nearly 70 different types of lions, leopards, tigers and more exotic animals.

Bring the family and make a day trip adventure out of visiting the sanctuary and see for yourself how these beautiful animals thrive.
