What a hoot! I even bought a diamond back rattlesnake skin hat. I would count the owner as one of the best attraction there...he is lively, entertaining and quite the showman.
[Carla Simmons, 07/24/2007]If you are an animal lover, please do NOT visit this so-called attraction. You will be extremely saddened by the horrible conditions the animals live in. My husband and I were so depressed by the time we walked out of there. The worst was a pack of 7-9 kit foxes crammed into a cage that would only be appropriate for 1 at the most. There is nothing educational about the prairie dogs or any of the other animals. This is simply exploitation of animals for profit.
