I was sceptical about going to Tiger Kingdom. I wasn't sure if this is a good idea to have wild cat domesticated.

On arrival we was welcomed with number of price options. You can chose the type (age) of the animal you want to see up close (You can also visit the place for free if you dont want to get into the enclosures). We have chosen to go to smallest (3months old cub's), small (6months old cubs) and big (fully grown 3yo).
What a joy! The smallest ones are just adorable. You can pet, hug or play with them. The small ones are pleasant as well and all they need to play is each other. The big ones are just enormous.

Some reviewers suggested that the big cats appeared to be drugged. I'm not professional but having seen those cats I'll say that this is highly unlikely. All the animals we visited appeared very healthy and happy. There is no signs of abuse whatsoever. Tigers in the Tiger Kingdom are on endangered species register and places like that are major step towards saving those beautiful animals.

I would recommend this place to anyone although its not suitable for kids younger than 10-12yo
