For over $500 a night, the experience feels like a scam. Despite the way it's advertised, there's very little interaction with the animals during your stay. You don't see elephants at night after they put them up, so if you check in at 6 PM as required, you're lucky to catch even a brief glimpse of them before they're put away at 7pm. The room is under 200 square feet with no TV, no WiFi, and a toilet system that doesn't allow flushing toilet paper--you're expected to throw used wipes in the trash. Breakfast was disappointing: a microwaved Jimmy Dean egg cup, pre-packaged mini muffins, fruit that was a Dole mixed fruit cup, and dry cereal with no milk. Save your money and book your family somewhere else. read more

Okay this is an amazing and awesome trip of a lifetime. After we checked in, we saw elephant habits and went back up to them and were able to pet an elephant. The cabins are bare bones but adorable. I had a full-sized bed that I slept well in. Well, until the crazy thunderstorm came. But that's nature's fault and not the fault of Oklahoma Awesome Adventures. LOL. In the cabins are a Keurig coffee maker, a toaster, a mini-fridge and a microwave. The toilets are strange, with a button on the left side of the bowl (as you're facing the toilet). But they work WELL. Actually better than a normal toilet for sucking things down. The table is really cute too. There's two benches, but the table is pushed up to the wall with one bench underneath so it doesn't take up the extra room but you can pull out out if you need to serve more people. The cabin is cooled (and heated) by a wall unit. Absolutely awesome. We turned it down before we went to dinner and came back to a FREEZING cabin. When you arrive there is fruit on the table (that is bananas) and you are advised it's for the elephant when you have breakfast with the elephant. We bought apples for the elephants but they aren't allowed outside food. Breakfast was at 8:35. We were last so we had the opportunity to see the elephants at the other cabins (there are 3). The elephants carry a large metal park with a picnic basket in it. It's a very short time but a great photo op. Plus, what's cooler than seeing an elephant take a banana from your hands? Complaints (but I'm still giving 5 stars because I liked it). 1. Breakfast was at 8:35 and the first tour of The Endangered Ark Foundation was 11:30. Why couldn't the two times be closer together? 2. Lightbulbs are out in both cabins (I asked to see the other cabins) 3. In the bathroom there was conditioner but no shampoo, soap, etc. 4. They were out of hand soap. read more

No good, we were in the first cabin with the red door and it was horrible, first of all the bathroom was made out of wood, so mold everywhere, secondly at night it gets down to like thirty degrees, oh and there are only two tiny beds and a couch, and worst of all the way they treat the elephants is not good, they have them in pens way too small for two elephants! Also they use electric fencing, and when the elephants come to your cabin so you can interact with them they use these things called claw sticks, what they are is this big stick with a giant spike on the end, so they hit the elephants with the claw sticks so that the elephants will do what they want, so the only good thing is that you get to interact with elephants, and the owner is really nice. read more

Iv'e worked at a local St Louis zoo working with big cats so I have to say I was very impressed with this place. Did the 6 hour tour which is like taking an elephant husbandry course. Learn their health, feeding, stables, manicuring and even proper bathing. They answer all questions and the elephants behave better than my dog. They listen to light verbal commands with ease which is very helpful in their care. Nicely done. read more

This place is definitely not worth staying overnight. I am a huge elephant lover and we drove 5 hours to get here. Word of advice do not get here early cause you still have to wait until 6 pm on the dot! When we finally got to the cabin it is super cute ( see attached photos of the cuteness) we are here in July so of course it's hot and when we came inside the cabin I figured it would be cooler but no it felt like they just turned on the air minutes to us getting here. Well it made for a hot night as well. The beds are hard as a rock. My back hurts so much ( I recommend to stop a get a full size mattress pad for the bed.) The couch is crappy and folds to a twin bed but it's the only place to sit that isn't hard as a rock. Next the shower is a no go! It's small as hell and the shower curtain is covered in mold ( no thank you) so if you have a mold allergy definitely do not stay the night! There is no place to put your stuff either. Only one side of the horrible bed has a table. We opted in for all the add ons for the cabin since it is our anniversary so that's what you will see in the picture. I really suggest that you bring cups and drinks of your own. read more
