Tigers For Tomorrow is a exotic animal park and rescue preserve. We are home to over 105 animals. We are a last stop preserve, and the animals that come to live with us remain here for the rest of their lives.

Can we visit the Preserve?

Yes! The preserve is open to the public (please see hours below). Our last admission is at 4:00pm. Visitors entering at 4:00pm are welcome to stay until 5:00pm.

There are a few ways to visit. First, you can do a walk about. This is a general walk around at your lesiure. When you first get to the preserve you will be greeted by Zack and Tootles, our young Camel and Zebra. Next stop is the Childrens Barnyard Contact Area. This is the only area visitors will be able to interact with the animals. The Barnyard is home to Goats, LLamas, Sheep, Emus and some assorted other animals. A short distance away is the Carnivore Compound where you will be greeted by our volunteers, and if you are lucky, by the howling of Bear and Lakota, our Timber Wolves. The carnivore compound is currently 10 arces and houses over 35 big cats, yes, tigers, lions, cougars, leopards and more.

There is no need for a reservation to do a walk about. Admission is $10.00 for adults 12 and over, $5.00 for children ages 3-11, and children under 3 are free.

The Park and the Office is closed on Monday and Tuesday. No phone calls will be returned until Wednesday

Can we bring a camera?

If you want a picture of a particular animal you can become a guardian angel or purchase a picture.

How to prepare for your trip to the preserve?

Please wear closed-toe shoes, sneakers, or hiking boots (not sandals or flip flops). There will be lots of walking and most of our terrain is hilly. Bring sunscreen and water. Although there are a few shaded areas you will be out in the sun a lot of the time.  There is no smoking in the preserve. The cats are up and about throughout the day but they do nap alot when it gets hot. Come visit early on a hot day. During the hot summer months the animals do nap during the day and refunds are not given if the animals are sleeping. There is a pavilion for guest to picnic at. Please recycle.
