Not to miss - This was our 3rd time here in 4 years. We live in WA state, and it’s the one place my college age son wants to visit on our annual trips to take him down south for school. An amazing up close and personal, very informative but perfectly laidback place. Every tour guide we’ve had has been enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the beautiful cats on the property. Questions are encouraged. These cats are gorgeous, happy and healthy! A++++

Hidden gem! - Took my 9 year old granddaughter on this tour. We both loved it. We both found out so many interesting facts about tigers and lions. We were on the 9am tour on a cool August day. The cats were pretty active. We got to hear a lion choir, which was beautiful! My granddaughter was able to ask lots of questions and our guide was happy to answer her. This is a hidden gem in the Branson area.

National Tiger Sanctuary Riding Tour - I am 77 so we took the riding tour. Our Guide was Rachel. She is an intern at the facility, and she was a wonderful guide. She is young and exuberant and made the tour interesting and enjoyable. She told us about the animals and shared some humorous stories of the residents. We all agreed that it was a 5-star experience. Thank you tripadvisor for making us aware of this opportunity.

From 3 to 69 yrs we all enjoyed the tour! - It was such a treat to see the animals so close! And our guide told us the history of why each animal arrived at the sanctuary as well as their unique personality traits. We saw tigers, lions, hybrid wolves and cougars. Riding the tram is the way to go!

You will not be disappointed on this WONDERFUL tour - We had a wonderful time and got to see almost every lion, tiger, tiliger, and jaguar there and thanks to Emily our guide she made the day of all of our family but especially one of my daughters who is an animal lover and her FAVORITE animal ever is the white tigers. The care and knowledge of the sanctuary staff was amazing! Best unexpected part of our quick trip from Iowa to Branson!

Highly Recommend! - Thoroughly enjoyed tour & learned much! Tour guide (young man in college to be a vet) shared many details of the tigers at the sanctuary. It was interesting to hear the life story of each animal. We learned what they eat, how much they eat, where the food comes from, the food prep & feeding process, how they exercise, how they show dominance, what medical support is given, how they mate, etc. I learned there is such a thing as a “liger”. I also learned some of the big cats mark their territory (spray) just like house cats. It was fun to hear the alpha lion “caroling”. We laughed along with our guide as he shared his experiences. I’m impressed that this sanctuary is “hands off”, didn’t know that. We will visit again because it was so much fun!
