For starters, it is a great place to bring people of all ages (as long as they aren't afraid of birds). You get to feed the birds, talk to them, dance with them, take photos with them, and feed the koi fish in the koi pond! I have always made my reservation online the night before I wanted to go and had no issues booking. I do recommend going earlier in the day when it is a little less busy and the birds are hungry! I believe the fee has gone up the last couple years but right now it is sitting at $10 per person which is still not very expensive at all in my opinion. You can also stay as long as you'd like. The volunteers are very kind and welcoming and are very knowledgeable about the birds. It is great to speak with them to learn more. Pro tip- I do feel that the sanctuary can get a little windy and cold so make sure to bring a light jacket and some water just in case!

The facility is clean and safe, and Harley always comes home so tired which is great. Highly recommend them!!

Over the past few months, I noticed significant staff turnover and a change in the overall environment. My dog no longer seemed excited to attend, which raised concerns for me as an owner. When I expressed those concerns to the person now overseeing dog care, the interaction became uncomfortable and defensive. Shortly after, I received a call from the office manager telling me to pick up my dog and that we were no longer welcome back. As a paying longtime customer, I found the handling of the situation extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Pet owners should be able to ask questions or express concerns about their dog's well-being without fear of being dismissed as a client. I truly loved this place at one time, which makes this experience even more upsetting.
