    Curiosity, chuffing to welcome our visit

    Visiting the area during Spring Break 2026, we always try to find different activities to participate in, thus we found the Tiger Sanctuary. It's hard to find one word to truly represent our experience but let's start with phenomenal, fantastic, heartwarming, nature connecting, gracious and unique experience. We LOVED this experience and will never forget it. Bryan, our guide, was so informative, inviting, compassionate, you can just feel the excitement and love he has for the majestic animals under his care. This feeling was also emitting from the other individuals in the crew. Now for service... TOP NOTCH. It was unexpectedly super-duper cold out (i.e. about 7 degrees with windchill) and rather than completing our ride in a side-by-side Bryan graciously took us in is HEATED personal vehicle... Whew and Thank You! Knowing all the funds for our event and purchases in the gift shop go toward supporting the animals and the staff, we were just fine with it. It is a great value! Now the question is, would we return? HECK YES! We will be back next time we are in the Branson area. They are continually improving the facility and animal enclosures, cannot wait to see what is next. I know when we travel we get "caught-up" in the touristy stuff but do something different. Go see the beautiful creatures God created, have a unique experience people of all ages can and will appreciate. We must look beyond ourselves and look to other areas greater than ourselves. You will see horses, steers, wolves, Hemi, lions, tigers and more! So grab your family and come experience the Tiger Sanctuary!! Thank you again!

    We did a private tour, the top tier tour, at this sanctuary. First off, they only do a few of these a day. You get to see everything in the operation including all of the retired animals that aren't shown on the main tours. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and you could tell they had a passion for what they were doing. They literally love these big cats like their own. For nature lovers and animal lovers this is a really great experience. It is pricey, but it's hours long and worth the time and expense. You can tell these cats are taken care of and loved, even if just through the fences. Absolute must!

    We think our guide was Casey (sorry if we got it wrong) she was great & we had such an informative & fun time watching the big cats get their chicken snacks. We learned so much & got to see some beautiful animals. If you get a chance, you need to go. Plan ahead, as they have different experiences at different times. All at the top of the hour. Next time we go we're doing the behind the scenes. Marissa's favorite is Charlie. Highly recommend.

    I love animals, especially lions and tigers and this was my favorite place I went to on my vacation. I did the feeding tour which was informative and fun. I wish it was longer though... I honestly could have spent all day there! All the stories were interesting and the animals look in great condition and seem to have a real relationship with these people. They have a nice gift shop which I bought a shirt from, but a lot of selection. I would HIGHLY recommend to visit and would definitely check this place out again if I was in the area.

    This was a great stop. This is NOT a tiger king type place. We learned a ton of information about the place and the tigers and how they are cared for. They all were just soaking up the sun and getting fed. The guide did a great job explaining all the big cats and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be back to take the golf cart tour. Thank you to all of the staff.

    Looking for something fantastic to do in the Ozarks? This is it. Driven past for years and went with gkids. Austin was super informative and explained all. Don't pass this experience up and all proceeds help.

    Options for different tours. Extremely knowledgeable tour guide that knows her cat's personalities and histories and her facts. It was all outdoors and all of the animals were awake and aware it was snack time for the feeding tour. The fee is reasonable and doesn't begin to cover expenses for this awesome 501c3. Please feel free to put more in the donation box! Wish the store had a little more in it but it is not high business right now so I get it. Love my coffee mug!

    Sweet Kora!

    This was our first time at the Tiger Sanctuary. It was very easy to get to in a great stop before we headed into Branson. The staff were very friendly and very knowledgeable. They made sure that we were very safe at all times. All of the animals looked well nourished, and in happy moods whenever we walked by. There are a lot of different tours that you can go on, but we went on a feeding tour. My daughter got to feed tigers and our guide would feed the other ones that we saw. It was so cool to learn about these magnificent creatures and how they ended up at the sanctuary. It is a wonderful place for these animals to live out the rest of their days being loved and cared for.

    What a wonderful experience! To see the love and compassion the staff has for these beautiful animals is amazing! We learned so much from the informed staff. This was my second time to visit. I live in Corona Ca and will visit again... just to see the progress. Thank you for a fantastic experience!!!

    What a great sanctuary! Well cared for animals. You can tell they are loved. We took the cart tour. We spent time at each enclosure and got to learn about each tiger, lion, mountain lion. When they heard their names they can would look up or get up and over. The animals were so relaxed. Great value for the money. Little bit of a drive from Branson but we'll worth it.

    See all

    Lindsay was amazing during the tour, very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting. Pay the extra to feed the tigers.

    Best time of day to go?

    When it's cool out. Go for the morning especially in the summer. On a hot day tigers will probably just be laying in shade. If you must go during a hot time of day opt for the more expensive feeding tour. They will probably get up for food.
