Bertie and Jim are wonderful keepers of these beautiful animals, you can tell how much time and effort they have put into caring for and establishing bonds with these cats. We got a warm and educational welcome, going over safety and how to conduct ourselves with these beautiful creatures, and we were able to sit with, touch, and feed a variety of species, from the friendly African Servals, to the sweet Siberian Lynx, from the shy but beautiful Bobcats, to the powerful majesty of the Florida Panthers, Cougar, and Mountain Lions. Not all cats here are particularly fond of visitors, but are beautiful and interesting nonetheless, such as the rarely-seen Jaguarundi, and will allow you to observe them so long as you respect them and the space they call home. These cats are well-cared for and well-loved, and it shows in the way they interact not only with the keepers who many of them have been acquainted with for years, but also visitors to them. This was the best experience I've had for a long while, and gives me a warm feeling to know that in a world where people seem to hyperfixate on trivial issues, that there are people like Bertie, Jim, and their volunteers who choose to dedicate themselves to the care of Earth's beautiful creatures.

This is a beautiful park in historic St. Andrews Fl. Near Panama City. It's on St Andrew's Bay with lots of large Oak trees and palms. There are walk ways to the water and sitting areas near the water. Sunsets are great here. There is not a beach because it's the bay, but you can still walk by the water and enjoy the sand in your toes. Its next to the Marina and shopping area.(mostly antique shops and restaurants). Love St Andrews!

Reviewed By purpleinopp - Opp, United States
You can't live in it but you can see a yellow submarine today if you are in the area along with various other exhibits that are available around the parking lot. None are available for "a ride" but looking at them while imagining going under the surface in any of them was impossible really. Too scary for me! Fascinating to know that anyone actually did. Even if you do not have time to visit the inside, it is worth pulling over. Gauging from the outside exhibits, I have no doubt that the inside is worthwhile and interesting.
