My favourite place on the island. Great conservation work.
The big cats and other animals are very well cared for after being given their forever homes after rescue

Really enjoyed the day here - lots of opportunities to see Lions and Tigers up close - along with Lynx, a Serval, monkeys, lemurs and more. 2 bears arriving soon as well. The fact that you can go back for £1 per person in the next 7 days is an added bonus!

Lovely few hours enjoying the sanctuary and learning about the animals. However, when we arrived at 10.30 the entry queue wasn’t long but still took us 25 minutes to get inside. Despite there being lots of staff around there was only one person checking people in.

Well worth a visit to this place to support the rescue work they do if you go to the isle of wight and visit sandown and it would be good if you have children because it is educational too and there is a cafe and an outdoor eating areas if you decide to take your own food , we ate in the cafe and the food was good .
There is also a small gift shop on site and the staff are very welcoming and willing to engage with visitors.

Wonderful to see all the work they do, the food is good and many options for vegans. A great way to spend a few hours and your money helping a great cause.

Disgusting
Went today and saw the lovely animals, shame the staff in the shop weren't lovely.
Went into the gift shop and got the lights turned off on me and my family, picked our teddies and went to pay, staff member said he turned the till off whilst we were still in the gift shop!
Could've gotten told that we wouldn't of been able to pay for our things, I had to PULL a little bunny teddy out of my 7 month olds hands because we weren't able to pay for it
Actually hurt my heart to see her so upset, what a wonderful trip out for my first ever Mother's day!!
Gross service.

Very rude and woke services. They were so eager to leave. No one told us they were closing and left us browsing in the gift shop then turned the lights off on us. Leaving us in the dark then we had to put all the stuff back and they turned us away from paying. Went away having to take a teddy away from a infant who started crying as they were sad and wondering why we had to take the teddy back from them. Horrible service...

Booked a Tiger Feed experience as a gift. Karen the zoo keeper was amazing, very knowledgeable, told us about all the other cats at the sanctuary and clearly loves them. Experience was great!

I absolutely love this place. It is a sanctuary. It isn’t a zoo. The animals don’t pace. There’s a lovely atmosphere with the animals looking very relaxed. Absolutely love it!!!! I highly recommend that you go and see all of the animals!!! New rescue bears coming soon too!!!

These animals are loved, you can tell by the way they play, move, or just lie there, eyes closed, faces pointing towards the sun

Bring back cows milk
Animals were great to see but the cafe was a disappointment. Can only have oat milk. Have you ever read the ingredients on oat milk. Full of additives and tastes nasty
