  • 5This experience was...

    This experience was great! My kids enjoyed themselves and were able to see a plethora of animals! Because I’m Canadian and the exchange rate isn’t the best it was a bit costly but still worth it!

  • 4Wonderful rehabilitation center

    We had a lovely morning here getting to see so many varieties of animals/birds in large and spacious enclosures. The Park was well maintained and large so you need a few hours if you want to see the whole place. I loved seeing the macaws the most and beautiful peacocks walking around along with the huge lizards chilling out on the pathways. I saw a person petting one of the large lizards and it was loving it, but I dont think its actually allowed to do. Some animals we didnt see I think certain parts of the day some are sleeping or more hidden but otherwise I found it enjoyable.

  • 5Five Stars!

    An up close and personal visit with some of nature's great creatures: jaguars, ocelots, pumas, toucans, parrots, owls, monkeys, capybaras, lizards... the list goes on. A few hours in their company reminded me that nature is miraculous and our job as humans is to put down our phones and notice. These birds and animals cannot survive in the wild - for various reasons. Rescate Wildlife Rescue Centre nurses them back to health and gives them safety, love and security. It was a privilege to observe this facility at work. Five stars.

  • 5Nice experience

    A nice experience to see different wild animals and create consciousness about having wild animals in your house or what to do if you see a baby without its mom.

  • 5Lovely Wildlife Rescue Center

    We had an odd time gap to fill in our schedule before an early morning flight out of San Jose, so the day before we decided to tour this sanctuary. We did a self-guided tour and the signs were very descriptive. You could see how much love and care went into creating spaces conducive to housing these rescue animals. The space was easy to navigate, we probably spent almost 2 hours there. Highly recommend this tour as it is well run with the best interests of the animals at heart.
