Tiger Creek is another must-see in Tyler! The sanctuary is incredibly well-kept with lots of big cats to see! Our guided tour led by Kayla K was the cherry on top. Kayla was a trooper walking us through during the rain while maintaining a smile the entire time. This place is an animal lovers dream!
It is a bit pricey. But, I justified the expense as supporting the animals in the sanctuary. We went on Monday, and I was disappointed that there are no guided tours (only Wed - Sat this time of year). The "self guided tour" took us about 1.5 hours. But, I left feeling satisfied. At times, we were a mere 4 feet (and 2 fences!) away from these majestic animals.
We were able to dry camp in their parking lot as part of the cost of entry into the park. We weren’t able to spend a lot of time there, but will stop again to walk through the park and read about the history of each animal they are taking caring for. When you first arrive you think you’re in a zoo. But, there’s something more to this place that seems to make it special. I would recommend this as a good stop if you’re in the Tyler, TX area.
This place is amazing! Being able to see my favorite animal so close was an awesome experience. I definitely recommend the VIP tour to get the best experience it’s very well worth it. The animals look well cared for, healthy, and pretty active. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will be going back😃
Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary is my favorite place in east Texas (other than my Nanny's house). Thanks to donations from amazing donors over the past few years, all the big cats are in large enclosures now. This was a plan/dream of theirs when I had first visited 7 years ago. It was nice to visit old friends and see some new ones. Each animal here has its own story as to why it needed a new loving safe space. Skanda was in a grumpy/talkative mood, but just as beautiful as always, it was great to see him again. 😊 Its primarily large cats like tigers, puma, cougar, lions, but their kind hearts have also taken in some other critters in need. Come get up close with some magnificent creatures and donate to a worthwhile animal sanctuary.
We love visiting these beautiful creatures and helping to donate to their care. With out sanctuaries like Tiger Creek these animals lives and future would be unknown and I feel short. It gives us an opportunity to see these endangered animals in a healthy environment.
