Our family greatly enjoyed our tour at Panther Ridge. It was a treat to see the wild cats up close. The cats seemed to be treated well here, and it is an accredited conservation organization. We especially loved seeing the melanistic jaguars and leopards that are less common at other zoos.
We absolutely loved the Panther Ridge experience. We drove 3.5 hours to visit and were worried it wouldn’t be worth it, but we were not disappointed. The tour was great, the tour guide was informative and the cats were gorgeous and looked very well taken care of.
