Interesting - After waking the hanging bridges in the morning we then visited the sloth habitat. It was certainly interesting and well worth the visit.

Must see for sloth lovers - excellent tour, got to see many sloths up close. We were able to to take many photos and videos & learn about the sloth behavior. We had the ability to film sloths climbing, feeding, etc. Had a great time. Glad we went. Tour is well organized and educational & guides helpful and knowledgeable. Facilities are well kept and clean. Beautiful park.

Nice experience - I was a little concerned about this tour because I had read horror stories about deaths being kept in cages for visitors to see. However this was nothing like that. This was a well thought out walk through with the resident sloths free to move around. The very informative guide explained to us the set up of the habitat and the sloths looked very relaxed. Tgey had all been rescued as abandoned babies and were therefore very used to their surroundings. A good way to see sloths up close.

Don’t miss the bug tour! - Extremely interesting tour of reportedly the 3rd largest insect collection in the world. Apparently only about 5% of park visitors choose this tour, which seemed a shame as it’s a hidden gem. Our guide amazed us with facts, figures and anecdotes from the world of bugs. Good for all ages. Enjoy!

Expensive but maybe the only option to see sloths close up - Echoing other comments, this place is crazy expensive but having spent 11 nights in CR at 3 locations including Arenal/La Fortuna, this was the only time we saw sloths close up. I think they have 12 sloths and you can see them all from several metres away and can get excellent pictures with your phone.

Sloths up close in a zoo-like indoor setting - Two couples traveling around Costa Rica: We had seen a wild sloth in a high tree, but wanted to see them up close. This zoo-like experience with orphan sloths gave us a chance to see many sleeping, and we were lucky to see a few move as well. It was paired with a butterfly house where we saw many butterflies hatched there from eggs farmed or harvested around the country. For photography, the settings didn't look all that natural. (The company could look at the settings as a photographer would and make some improvements.) But more of a disappointment was the attitude of the guide. He seemed tired and bored with dumb tourist questions. We were on many good guided adventures, and this was the least exciting, not just for being indoors but also for his attitude. We did learn one thing that stuck with me: Many, many sloths are being killed and orphaned as forests are cleared. Costa Rica has some national parks, but those places are outnumbered by increasing city, farm and ranch lands.

Poor value at $149 for 2 adults 2 children to see sloths for barely 30minutes - The sloths were great to see and have a nice sanctuary... however very short time actually in there for $149 for 2 adults 2 kids. Then an hour wait for transportation back to our hotel. Bit of a con! Suggest go elsewhere for longer Poor value
