Upon reading some of the reviews my partner and I were sceptical about visiting this place but decided to be the judges for ourselves, and we are so glad we did! We decided to view the smallest, small & big tigers. Absolutely fantastic experience! We started by viewing the smallest tigers first who were cheeky, very active and playful. They were constantly pushing the boundaries of the trainers to see what they could get away with.
Next we visited the small ones who were about 6 months old and they also were very active and playful. There were about 5 in the enclosure, 3 were constantly play fighting and the other 2 were led down relaxing. They are like any young animal, they play hard then have a rest. They soon jumped up and joined in the games.
Lastly we visited the big tigers. Of the 4 18 month old tigers in the enclosure only 1 was led down for about 20 minutes while the other 3 were in the water fighting and running around. This was the only time I was actually a bit nervous during my time here as they were by no means lifeless and docile as some of these other reviews would have you believe. If I could upload some of the many videos we took to prove this I would. These tigers are not drugged they are simply just used to human contact and have been since they were reared at birth by the keepers. If on any given day they are lying around it is more than likely that they are hot in this very humid weather and just resting, after all these magnificent animals are nocturnal hunters and expend most of their energy after dusk.
All I can finish off by saying is go and see this awesome place for yourself and don't listen to a lot of the negativity, you can be the best judge of your own experience there. If you don't like to see animals in captivity and have views they they should only be in the wild then why would you even go?? Absolutely fantastic experience and the keepers were very friendly and you could see they were very fond of these powerful animals! Haters will always hate.
