EXCELLENT Based on 1572 reviews Posted on Shane AllmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing interactive zoo lots of animals to look at and have fun with. the manager and all the staff were super nice. Found out most of the animals there are rescues. The lemurs and monkeys were the best for me 😊. Great place to take family’s and kids I’ll definitely come back oftenPosted on RayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time visiting Sharkarosa Zoo and I had a really fun experience. I was impressed by the diversity of animals and it felt like there was always something interesting to look at as we walked around. One of the best parts was getting to feed a lot of the animals. That made the visit feel a lot more interactive and memorable compared to a regular zoo trip. It was especially fun seeing how excited some of them got at feeding time. The hyena and the lions were definitely highlights for me. It was very cool getting to see them up close and just watch them for a while. The zoo was easy to walk through and made for a great first visit. I would definitely come back and would recommend it if you want a fun outing.Posted on Alexis KoolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I visited Sharkarosa for a fun afternoon activity. We live in the area and had never been. We loved it! The lemur encounter was really fun and a cool experience. Thank you to Emma for guiding us through the encounter and making it a great visit! Friendly staff, lots of animals, and a great family-friendly environment all make this place a good spot.Posted on Sebastian CampbellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Especially with special needs sensitive kiddos.Posted on Tricia Ann DoddsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my 1st visit, I came with My son and his wife and my granddaughter for her 3rd Birthday. I loved feeding the camels, mini donkeys and mini cows as well as the llamas and goats. The black bear feeding was informative and enjoyable with the female bear pulling herself up and standing for a peppermint. It's a great little sanctuary/zoo. Be sure to stop by to see the Gorgeous white tiger! He is stunning. ✨Posted on Aden MonkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An incredible & fun day for everyone. The petting zoo is so much fun and every 30 minutes there was a demonstration with a different animal. Sharkarosa is a great way to spend a day, and support the animals there while doing so!Posted on BKBTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
