What an amazing treasure in the middle of bucks county! AarK is a wild life rehabilitation and…read moreeducation center. This review is of their annual open house where they've opened their doors to the public. This event takes place over one weekend per year! For this event you will be directed to a church parking lot about a mile down the road. Cost is a $15 donation paid at the parking lot via cash or Venmo. Shuttle buses run back and forth to the center. When I arrived there was live musicThis is a very family friendly event! Lots of activities and educational experiences for children and adults. The animal handlers were all over the property providing up close encounters with various animals and providing so much information on each resident and ambassador animals. Outdoor enclosures built by community members house foxes, owls, birds, raccoons, and squirrels. Each enclosure is labeled with species information and details on why the animal is living at the center. There are exhibits indoors for reptiles and small animals going through medical care. Some of the animals onsite will be rehabilitated and released while others will be life long residents for their own safety. The staff and volunteers were all fantastic and had so much knowledge to share. One of my favorite things to watch was the care takers showing children how they feed and medicate insured animals. Each child could use a "stuffy" to practice syringe feeding and other routine care. Children were given a paper to collect stamps at each experience. Once all stamps were collected they could select a prize. Penn Wildlife was also onsite along with other local organizations giving out some great swag along with educational and informative materials. There was a snack bar available. Bathrooms were ports potty's.

Awesome place! We found a baby bird on our porch on a Sunday afternoon and no mom around and it…read morelooked injured. Did some research on google and took it to the AARK and they took the baby bird in right away. My husband and I just filled out a piece of paper and then the employees at the AARK took care of Lucky. We named the bird Lucky because it was behind our broom and we would never have saw it, if it wasnt for my husband finding it. When we arrived we were immediately approached and asked if we had an animal. I am so happy that this place was able to take the baby bird. Staff was great and all were super friendly.

Pearl S. Buck was an American author who was incredibly popular in her time (although now many of…read moreher books are out of print). She was the first American woman author to win a Nobel Prize for Literature and the only woman to win both a Pulitzer and a Nobel for many years (until Toni Morrison many years later). Born to missionary parents, she spent her formative years in China, and many of her works focused on Chinese history and peasant culture. She was also a great humanitarian and founded several organizations intended to aid children, including foster homes and adoption centers for Asian and biracial children, who American adoption agencies at the time refused to serve. I learned all this and much more on my tour of the Pearl S. Buck Home this week. The home is about an hour outside Philadelphia, but very close to Doylestown (making it a great addition to a day or weekend trip to the area, since Doylestown has so much to offer). I went on a Friday, when I had a day off work. On the 11am tour, it was just me and two other guests, making it an almost private tour. Our tour was almost two hours (I think it's meant to be an hour and a half but we had a lot of questions!), and our tour guide was wonderful. I learned so much about Pearl, her work, her family, and her legacy as we explored the house (Pearl's bedroom, the room where she wrote, her children's room, the kitchen, etc.). Whether you're a dedicated fan of Pearl S. Buck, read The Good Earth in high school but haven't thought about Pearl S. Buck since, or whether you don't know a thing about her, this tour is a great way to learn a lot about an amazing woman, who spent the first half of her life in China and the second half in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

They lady I spoke to over the phone told me great things about him & told me to come in because he was ready to go home. I simply asked if she could reserve him for the next hour because I was driving from a different state to get there, and she said she could if I paid a fee for it. I didn't think it was really worth paying a fee since I was going to be there in less than an hour, so I gave her my phone number to call if someone else went to buy him within the hour. After speeding to get there, the ladies at the front desk told me he was already taken. They didn't apologize for not calling me sooner and instead tried to get me to take another bunny home. I was so upset that they didn't have the courtesy to call me or even have the decency to apologize. I'm all for saving animals, but I don't think I can adopt from the heartless people that work there.
