I approached him first and then the rest of my Family walked up. We all had the same address and I guess since my Daughter is prettier and younger than me, he chose to just ignore me and start talking to her. He said he wanted to help so we would all need to be on one together. He then said my Dad and Daughter could pick up but continued to ignore me and be sarcastic. He made it seem like I could be on one account by myself and they would be on another one. When they walked away he told me that I am not eligible because we live in the same household. I told him to put me on the same account as them and he was very rude and said he couldn't. I am not sure if he did or not. I give them a 1 minus becauseI am a person trying to get back on my feet after an 18 year toxic relationship and was treated like dirt!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A PERSON IS GOING THROUGH...BE NICE!!

We walked around looking for a restroom, couldn't find one, walked over to the community center every door was locked. This park has no public restrooms. I was honestly surprised there were no restrooms. At this point she had already went in her pants and extremely embarrassed about it (being 8) I'm so disappointed there were no restrooms. Anyone bringing their family to a park Wouldn't even in my opinion second-guess a restroom not being available at a park facility. We will never be back at this park and never recommend this park to anyone.

I called the 211 Hotline, they gave me Rock'n our disabilities, phone, and address. After I filled out their application with my information including my driver's license, and evidence of my disability from the doctor. I kept an email from Yolanda that I'm approved and she gave me the address in Victorville to pick up the food. They refused to give me food by Sally in Victorville on January 12, 2024. also, I reported in person to Dana the manager in Hesperia, she told me we do not support adult disability just children with disability. Dana told me you need to fill out another application for your disabled kids and you need to pay every month $50. Also, Dana told me it requires your disabled children to attend activities otherwise no food for you. Also, she notified me we were short on food even though my car was number 5 in the line. Attention: when I was waiting in line for food in my car, I could see the employees including Sally taking to their cars the expensive stuff and after that giving the people what was left over. you can ask the people in the line if you do not believe me.

They have a good variety of exotic animals, and one of the best parts was being able to get pretty close to them and even feed some of them with the help of the staff. The workers were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable, especially for a family. The prices were also very affordable. The sanctuary itself is fairly small compared to a traditional zoo, but I actually liked how close you could get to the animals. Parking was spacious, although just be aware that you have to drive down a pretty long dirt road to get there. I do always feel a little bad seeing animals outside of their natural habitats, but overall we really enjoyed our visit and thought it was well worth it. If you have a family and want to take the kids somewhere to see some exotic animals up close, or you're simply an animal lover looking for something different to do, I definitely recommend checking this place out!
