Animal Ed.ventures Sanctuary: Earth-Speak Park

I absolutely love this place. It’s so naturally beautiful. The place isn’t trying to hide how nature actually is how much work it takes to care for these animals. I went there once as a visitor came back a week later as a volunteer and will be going back to do more volunteer work. If you have a genuine love for animals and want to understand how places like this exist and can keep their doors open. Volunteer and you’ll see both sides.

We, as a family, went to Animal Edventures' Earth-Speak Park, and it was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff who made the experience so enjoyable. It was so much fun to see the amazing animals up close and learn about their unique characteristics and habitats. The sanctuary’s mission is truly inspiring. The care and hope they provide for these animals are so important, and it’s clear how much love and dedication goes into their work. Walking through the park, surrounded by nature’s beauty, was a peaceful and rejuvenating experience for all of us. This is more than just a place to see animals – it’s a chance to connect, reflect, and support a wonderful cause. As a family, we left feeling educated, inspired, and grateful for the work this sanctuary does. We highly recommend Earth-Speak Park to anyone looking for a meaningful and fun outing. We’ll definitely be back – it’s a place you can visit again and again!

Sydney and Paige were our guides through the sanctuary, and made the experience very engaging and interactive. They were very knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy sharing with the group. The sloth encounter was amazing as well! We will definitely be back to visit.

Drove two hours to come here and would gladly do it again! Our tour guide (shown in first picture) never told us her name, but accompanied us throughout our time on the grounds and was very helpful. Tipped in head rubs. This place felt magical and the animals were super personable and hilarious. Honestly impressed by how well the enclosures were kept up since there are so many. Very grateful that this is open to the public and I appreciate the work you guys do there!

My son loves animals and so we seek out animal encounters. This is a rustic sanctuary. It cost us $25 for he and I, and we spent over 3 hours there. Most of the areas are heavily shaded so even on a hot day it's not that bad. The staff are very kind and want you to have a great experience. I was within inches of sloths!!! A newborn sloth at that!!! 😍 Well we were within inches of almost every animal they have there. It was such a great visit. Cats and dogs roam around on the property. Exotic animals: sloths, monkeys, monitor (lizards), camel, kangaroo, ostriches, snaked, lemur, bear cat, and more! Then throw in traditional farm animals! There's a picnic area and play area for the kids. It's a locally operated sanctuary, and they just allow us to come get a glimpse of these beautiful animals! Go visit!
