Unless you love tigers (and I really do), I'd recommend skipping this rather expensive experience.
I enjoyed going simply cos I liked being able to touch the real tigers, small ones and big ones. You don't really get to see any actually small cubs, which is a shame.
The whole thing is set-up as a tourism production line. You're kind of encouraged to take your photos (all extremely cheesy and posed, even if you do take them yourself, simply cos the staff is trained to make you sit this way or that way and pose) and get out of the cage. You can't really relax and enjoy more time with the tigers, as it's very busy. Which is a shame, considering it's not cheap.
The restaurant there is quite good and if you get in time for the lunch-time buffer, I'd recommend eating there.
If you love tigers, go, if you're not bothered, don't waste your money.
