What a day!! Roar!! The National Tiger Sanctuary was the place to be.....we not only got up close and personal with many big cats, we were able to feed them snacks!! Our 3 1/2 hour behind the scenes guided tour with the Head Animal Keeeper was everything you imagine it would be, wow! We learned about each animal we met, their quirks and dietary needs, what brought them to the Sanctuary, special accommodations and their health needs/deficits. The Head Keeper was entertaining, informative and passionate about those in her care. The animals were all in great condition and an emphasis on the animal's enclosure enrichment was a definite priority here.

I went on a day early in the season and had a one-on-one tour. Even during peak season there are only up to 12 people on this tour. I've never been so close to these beautiful animals and got the chance to feed 2 tigers. Got to tour parts of the sanctuary which have animals that aren't on the normal tour to the public. Almost all of the animals came from people who thought they were good pets and discovered after a period of time they could not handle them; or were part of a show and were now "retired". They are so well cared for and have comfortable homes to live out the rest of their lives. The interns that do the tours are well informed and able to answer all the questions I had.

We came across this place serendipitously on the way home from a vacation in Branson, MO. I was impressed with what they were able to do for big cats that had no other home. The staff give the cats a life that is better than at some smaller zoos I've seen. We were not there during any of the official tours but were allowed to wander around and take pictures of the animals. This is not the Bronx Zoo, so expectations may have a lot to do with some people's experiences. The cats were in good shape and seemed contented. You can buy framed artwork created by some of the cats in the gift shop.

I took the Behind the Scenes tour on 5/29/21. It starts with an introduction to the cats that have no problem with the human interaction. We were given some chicken legs and thighs that we were able to feed them. They use a PVC tube with a pusher and you drop the chicken in and push it out to the cat. They eat them, bones and all. The tour guide gave us a lot of great information about the animals and their care, where they came from, and how long they live, etc. They answer your questions. Then. they had us pain some boxes and paper bags for Harry, one of the tigers. They use non toxic pain and make sure any labels are removed so that all that is there is cardboard and paper. This was for the enrichment portion at the end of the tour. After that, we were loaded on trams and driven to parts of the sanctuary that are not open to the other tours. We saw the cats that are more shy and don't like being around people so much. They mostly hid in their "bedrooms" or in the grass, although they were clearly curious and kept peeking out at us. Overall, we saw tigers, lions, a mountain lion, two black leopards, wolf hybrids, a boar hybrid, arctic foxes, potbellied pigs, two horses and a llama. The oldest tiger there is 19, the only one left of the original six that they started the sanctuary with. They usually only live into their early 20s in captivity, far less in the wild, so he was a pretty old guy but still handsome. At the end of the tour, we watched Harry detstroy our carefully painted boxes. :-D They allow dogs, and I brought my beagle/Jack Russell mix, although I'm not sure he enjoyed it, given that the lionesses seemed very interested in stalking him! Two of them even rushed the fence at him. One of the guys on the tour thanked me for bringing "bait" so they could get better pictures. :-)

This was by far our favorite thing we did in Branson. Getting to be close to the animals was amazing. Feeding them is an incredible experience, pay the 15 bucks to upgrade and feed 2 animals. We got to hear to the lion caroling and learn all about them. We will be coming out again our next time we are in town

My husband and I took the open air tram tour. He has been to the sanctuary many times and still loved it. This was my first time visiting. The first thing I saw in parking lot was a llama. We later found out his name is Llama-Llama. The animals are bequtiful. The guide explained the stories behind each of the animals. The tour is very educational. I came away with a new awareness of what happens to animals who are bred for our entertainment. I am so thankful for this sanctuary, who rescues animals and gives them a safe home. I would encourage anyone to visit the sanctuary and take one of their tours.

We chose to do the tram tour. It holds about 20 people. They drive you around their property where you can see all the tigers and lions. The tour guide was really sweet and knowledgeable. She would stop at each animal to talk about each one. It was an awesome experience and very cool thing to see!

The National Tiger Sanctuary is an amazing place to visit. You get up close to a lot of animals you might not have the chance to ever see that close otherwise. The animals are all rescues and very clearly well taken care of. The Day as a Keeper tour was a 6 hour tour that taught us everything from the animals history, the story of the sanctuary, feeding, animal care, enrichment, and much more. It was a wonderful day and worth every penny! Plus the money goes to help care for the beautiful animals that call the tiger sanctuary home. They have all kinds of different tours so whatever your price range is or time allowed, it’s worth it to go and see. This was my second time visiting and I know I’ll be back again. Thank you to our tour guide Sam. He was very knowledgeable and made the day a lot of fun.

We enjoyed the Awareness Tour and felt good about supporting this true sanctuary for these majestic yet menacing creatures. This is the closest I’ve ever been to such large tigers, and we were in awe of their beauty and size. Our guide was friendly and informative. It was a hot day so the 45 minute tour was just the right amount of time for us.

We did a behind the scenes tour and it was well worth the cost! Not only did we get to go with a group on a feeding tour where we got to feed also. But then we had an additional tour with different guide and saw many of the other animals (tigers, lions, wolves to name a few). We learned the history of the animals on both tours. On the 2nd longer tour, we also got to see some of the big cats eat their lunch. Both guides (Ashley and Blair) were very informative and interesting. It is amazing how each of the animals is cared for individually, according to his or her personality. For example, one of the tigers ( I think it was Matula) liked to play 'stalk and chase' with Blair before she'd eat her snack! [ There was a tall fence between the 2 of them!]. I highly recommend this tour and the Sanctuary in general and will continue to support them in the future.

I’m confused? Hours say closed on Mondays, but open on Memorial Day?
Rédigé le 20 mai 2019
Occasionally we are open on Monday holidays, including this Memorial Day. These dates are announced in our monthly newsletters and on our social media pages. So yes, we will be open.

Trying to decide if it is better to book a morning tour or afternoon? We are taking the dinner train the night before so my first thought is a later tour, but thinking the tigers might be more active on the 10 a.m. Can anyone share their time slots and experience? Thanks!!
Rédigé le 18 juillet 2018
We always suggest the tour times based on weather as well. Whenever the weather is the coolest or mildly rainy the cats tend to be most active. If you take a feeding tour, the food incentive will typically always encourage activity from the animals no matter what time of day it is.

Is the short tour appropriate for young children? We have the grand kids, 7, 5, 3, & 18 months, on Saturdays and thinks this would be fun.
Rédigé le 4 mai 2018
Yes, it is not too long, and those ages would be fine.

What is the average amount of time a visitor spends at the sanctuary?
Rédigé le 17 juin 2017
Thank you for your interesting in National Tiger Sanctuary!
We have different tours that vary in length. The shortest and most basic tour is our Awareness Tour. It lasts around 45 minutes to an hour. Our Feeding and You Feed Tours last around an hour to an hour and a half. We also have Behind the Scenes which is about 3 hours and the Day with the Director which is our longest tour of 5 hours. We have an expanded gift shop where one could spend some time browsing. So it all just depends on how long you would like to spend with us.

Thank you for your interest in NTS! We do not have any opportunities for the public to have contact with our animals. The only time it would be legal for the public to touch a big cat would be a cub. Cub handling is known as Pay To Play and many cubs used die as a result of the stress, lack of sleep, and disease they encounter during excessive handling. That's why you never see AZA zoos or sanctuaries participating in Pay To Play. Instead, you see cub handling at roadside zoos and for profit businesses that just use animals to make money - regardless of the cost to their health. Part of our mission to help educate the public about Pay To Play, because we know people want to do the right thing once they know the truth! Anywhere that lets the public hold baby animals is not contributing to conservation or education - they just care about making a buck.
In light of that, we do have an opportunity to get up close and personal with big cats like never before! Our cats can be seen from only three feet away, and people tell us all the time that they've never been so close to a big cat in their life!
Sincerely,
Abbie
