Saunders Country Critters Zoo Sanctuary & Garden Center

The animals are cute and the kids love feeing them. The facility needs a major overhaul. The deer in the kangaroo enclosure seemed to bully the kangaroos. My daughter tried to feed one kangaroo but the deer kept pushing it away and eventually bit it. ???? The duck pond had no water and the ducks were in a small pen with eggs in it, one was broken and rotting. Since it is a garden centre as well I would expect it to have beautifully kept gargens. I mean its advertising their products right. Also, bathrooms with running water to wash your hands are always appreciated especially if you have small children and babies.

Great place to see some exotic animals. The staff is also very friendly and don't mind taking the time to explain/answer questions!

It's a nice place to go once in a lifetime. Not too big. Kids enjoy more than adults. It's not very clean in general.

Took my grandson, who is 7. He loved it. Great outing for 8 and under.

I think we went too early in the season. A lot of maintenance and TLC was needed. I appreciate the rescue aspect of what they do.

Edited after owner response: Like I said, I do appreciate the animal rescue aspect of what you do. Clearly many of your tenants are being afforded a second lease on life. I'm a nature lover and there were a couple species I'd never heard of before, and a few others I'd never had the pleasure of seeing in person so that was of definite interest. But I know enough that the sign that said 'Bobcat' was in front of an enclosure containing an Ocelot (and a gorgeous one at that). ;0)

My 85 year old Mom and her friend really enjoyed themselves.
