Not Many Know About This Exotic Animal Sanctuary Right Here In Illinois
One of the best hidden treasures in Illinois involves a rescue mission to aid exotic animals. Visitors get close and personal with various critters that were once kept as companions while learning about the positive and negative aspects of trying to own an exotic pet.
Enjoy seeing (and touching) exotic animals, some you’ve never even heard of, at this amazing rescue. Check out all the animals they house below.
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. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate


Often, these animals get too big, expensive, or aggressive to keep, or their owners pass away or become ill, leaving them homeless.






Sometimes an animal comes in that is friendly. Other times, an animal will be pregnant and give birth to babies that are adoptable. Contact the sanctuary for details.



Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary is located at 824 Church St in German Valley. You can get more information by visiting their website or Facebook page.
