I accidentally ran into this place while rushing to get something at the mall. I was shocked that little ol Fort Myers was offering something as neat as this and of all places in Edison Mall. But they made it happen and made it happen well. These animals are taken such good care of. They are genuinely happy and healthy. They love to interact and the owners did such a great job making sure we all had a great experience. I see complaining about the price but you aren’t going to find another place like this locally, or anywhere even remotely close. You are paying for an experience and judging by all the thanks yous and hugs I got from the kids all day it was well worth it. Liam the kangaroo was so precious- kinda like a well mannered toddler lol, Otis the otter made me laugh so much climbing

This place was so cool!! Me, my bf, and his brother went to go pet the raccoon. Her name is Tinkerbell and she was so sweet! She ate out of our hands and crawled on top of our shoulders. She also tried to get my shiny earrings and the chains on my boots. Afterwards, we got a tour of the other animals and during our tour, the otter got out so we got to pet the other real quick too! We had a lot of fun! The staff were super friendly and had a ton of knowledge on all the animals in their care and even told us when the best time is for the other animals we wanted to come back and see!

This is a very amazing place with the opportunity to meet a bunch of amazing animals and having some one on one time with these babie.. and thanks to the very amazing staff... BTW this isn't these animals "homes" to be left at overtime.. they have a physical home. They are absolutely cared for and you can see it... TO THE STAFF.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THESE RESCUES...

This was an amazing experience!!!! My son and I got to play with Otis the otter today and we absolutely loved every minute of it The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about each animal ..we got to meet the owner as well. Every single animal in there is well taken care of and loved.To all the haters that left a bad review ….no the animals don’t stay at the mall 24/7 they get to go home with the owner , the place is very clean and every animal is healthy and happy not one had any signs of stress or sickness . Before we got to play with Otis we were informed about what not to do etc and proper sanitizing of hands and shoes was also enforced . Otis is absolutely adorable playful and one happy otter We will definitely be back to play with the other babies and Otis of course See y’all

What an unexpected surprise to walk in Edison Mall and see this place! A spontaneous stop in gave us the opportunity to visit with Otis the Otter and we fell in love! Brian stayed with us and answered all of our questions about Otis during our visit and introduced us to the other critters before we left. We are looking forward to coming back on our next visit from Virginia. Thank you for sharing your beloved animals with us, it was an unforgettable afternoon.
