Definitely a hit with the kiddo! We took our 6yo daughter on a Sunday afternoon and she loved it. We saw alligators, capybaras, all sorts of weird fowl, goats, monkeys, a pig, an emu, some zebras (they were far off in an area that wasn't accessible), bears, baboons, roosters, a donkey, a miniature pony, peacocks, and tortoises. Probably the coolest thing outside the baby animal room was the alligator feeding. One of the handlers came out with a bucket of raw chicken and some gator knowledge, and we stood just feet away as these massive gators hissed and jumped and came up out of the water to eat. It was so awesome! In addition to the animals, there was also a small playground with ropes to swing on and climb. On our way out we stopped in the baby animal area and got to hold ferrets, a bearded dragon, two snakes, a baby coati, and a baby alligator. There was also a sweet baby muntjac deer you could pet (but not hold). We took a lot of really fun pictures. It was a great way to end the visit. The only drawback is that the grounds don't seem well-maintained and need mowing and other work. The barns were really dirty and covered in cobwebs. There were giant tortoise turds on the walkway. One of the feeding tubes for the bears was broken. You can tell the place is in need of some repairs. I'm sure it's because all their profits go to the animals and not the facilities. It didn't prevent us from having a great time and we would definitely visit again!

Do Not Go. They have been reported twice since December 2025…read more According to the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the incident happened Dec. 20, 2025, at Mystic Misfits (aka Canton Grand Safari) in Grand Saline. Inspectors say the adult female hyena was being handled in a manner similar to a pet dog, walking in a public area with direct access to guests. The USDA report states the facility allowed members of the public near the animal and directed one guest to stand beside the hyena for a photograph. Federal officials say the hyena then bit through the leash, escaped the handler's control and attacked the guest, causing a severe calf injury that required hospitalization. The violation was labeled "Critical" under federal animal handling regulations. USDA inspectors noted hyenas are powerful wild predators capable of causing serious injury and said public exhibitions must include proper barriers, distancing and handling procedures to protect both the public and the animals. The focused inspection was conducted Dec. 31, 2025, and the report says corrective action was required immediately moving forward.

I was looking to get my mini golf fix in, so the closest spot I could find was Putt-Putt Golf and…read moreGames. It turned out to be a decent putt putt place. Putt-Putt golf and games has 2 18 hole courses, a small game room and batting cages. The putt putt courses are pretty easy, but there is enough variety to keep it interesting. They offer a discount if you play both courses at the same time. The courses are a little dated and worn, but otherwise in good shape. I think the back course is my favorite of the 2. They also have a small game room, most of the games are on the older side, and they still use tokens here, something you do not see too often anymore. I did not try the batting cages. Overall the best putt-putt corse in the area, but there are not many other options. As long you do go in expecting the world you will not be disappointed.

We have had birthday parties, church outings and activities and many family days here. It is SOOOO VERY SAD to see it in the condition that it is currently! The location is wonderful, the terracing of the landscape and the opportunities are all there!!! Why can't someone (the current owners or a new buyer) see the potential and take hold of the possibilities and give the Longview area a wonderful place for family fun again?!? I took photos of broken benches and torn and gaping holes in the putting greens, but yelp site could not accept the files.
