There are two places to visit at this place - an indoor museum of stuffed animals, and an outdoor "Fauna Oservation Centre". We took a miss on the Pavillon because $12/adult and $7 per child over the age of 4 seemed a bit too expensive for looking at a bunch of dead animals. We chose to look at live ones, but immediately upon our arrival, we wondered it it would have been better for these animals to be dead, too. The conditions were SHOCKING! In the parking-lot there were tiny cages packed with raccoons, fox kits, and wolf pups. The stench was intolerable, and there were at least five raccoons crammed in their cage with one corner covered with their feces. Once we passed the gate into the main "Observation Centre", the horror we felt increased. There were several bears in a tiny enclosure filled with mud and feces; the bears looked stunted and obese. There were two cougars in separate cages but they really had no place to roam; the male kept pacing back and forth in a path about ten feet in length. I could go on about the other disturbing things I saw but these people really need to drastically improve the quality of the animals' lives or be shut down permanently. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
