    We are just heading out and it was a really great experience...I have worked with marine mammals at a research center and I could tell by our tour guides (all volunteers) that these animals are well cared for and loved. The information was very interesting and they took pictures for the crowd by putting each persons camera in the cage so the pictures were without any metal fencing.... I highly recommend a visit and even feel that through Groupon the price for up to 6 people ($20) is way too low....I would have gladly pay more to keep this place up and running cause there are so many idiotic people that think having a Panther etc. as a pet is something they can handle and when they realize they cannot there are places like this to allow the animals to relax and grow old in comfort and safety

    I was a little unsure what to think when I pulled in but the guides were very genuine and knowledgeable about the animals. I got to see them feeding which was amazing. The guides took some great pictures for us. Make sure you bring sneakers and bug spray. I would suggest going during feeding time if you can. Donate if you can as well they need it! There were no interactions with the animals which is a good thing. They seem to really care for the animals and answer any and all questions people may have. The pictures they got were awesome.

    I've been to a ton of sanctuaries, and this one by FAR is my absolute favorite. Beautiful animals with amazing stories, and extremely kind volunteers. You can really tell how much they care about their animals.

    When is this location open? We drove by today and all the gates were closed? TIA!

    Can you pet these animals?

    They really treat these creatures like human family. Was such an experience. Got to ride and feed…read morethem. There is so much room for them to roam more than any lame Zoo. They have a thing where you can bathe them. The people who run this are amazing. I know they have been through alot over the years and goad they are able to keep moving forward one giant paw at a time.

    A wonderful place to learn about elephants (and the world) from Patricia…read moreI recently visited Two Tails Ranch in Williston, Florida. You have to reserve a spot online before you go. They will respond with a date and time to show up. The sign in the gate when you arrive says they open the gates 10 minutes before the showtime so you may be sitting in your car along the dirtroad if you arrive early. You are directed where to park and then choose what options you want (feeding, picture, ride) and they give you tickets for each item. If you are going to ride the elephant you cannot be over 200 pounds (there is a scale at the ticket counter). Once everyone is done buying tickets you go to the first top. Our group of about 20 sat in rows of chairs under the shade right in front of the elephant pen with Zika the elephant and Patricia Zerbini. She has decades of hands-on elephant care through her family's dedicated efforts. She is the real deal. She stands in front of you and will answer any question in a straight-shooting, authentic, and honest manner, no punches pulled. She shared her experiences about elephants past, present, and future while teaching us about their care and the importance of their current issues. After that, you move in a group to another enclosure with a different elephant where people can feed, get a picture and ride an elephant. I chose all three and found them each well worth the time and money. They are once in a lifetime experiences that I'll remember forever. Patricia then walked us around the ranch, showing us her tortoises, zebra, and lemurs. She will answer any question as she is touring the group around. We ended at the little museum and gift shop, packed with fossils, artifacts, and elephant memorabilia. Two Tails Ranch is a real hidden gem run with love and purpose. If you're even remotely interested in elephants, this is a must-visit. Patricia and her family are doing wonderful work. I highly recommend visiting and supporting their efforts.
