A variety of educational programs focused on responsible pet ownership and endangered species conservation are available for all ages, year-round. Tours of the sanctuary are available Memorial Day through Labor Day. Group rates are available. Unlike other animal rescue and retirement centers, Black Pine Animal Park is open to the public. We welcome thousands of visitors each year, including individuals, family gatherings, school field trips, scouts, church and youth groups, and company picnics. The proceeds from gate admissions and gift shop purchases provide the majority of operating funds each year required to provide care to the animals. Guests enjoy meeting MinnieUnlike a zoo, Black Pine does not feature playgrounds, million-dollar exhibits, full-service concessions, or acres of gardens. Rather, our focus is on the animals we have rescued or taken in after a life of performing, as well as educating the public about them while allowing them the opportunity to observe them in a more intimate setting than zoos provide. We offer the chance to get closer to big cats, primates, bears, camels, birds, reptiles, and more, and to learn about them in a way not possible in a typical zoo setting. Our many staff and volunteers look forwarding to sharing the personal stories of the animals we have adopted! When you visit our animal residents, representing over 43 exotic and endangered species, you will witness animal behaviors not seen in most zoos as the animals react to, and interact with, our staff. You will see alert, healthy, and genuinely interested animals. You will enjoy eye contact and vocalizations as you observe them, take photographs, and even call them by name! The park relocated to an all new 18-acre site in December 2006. Regular public tours of the facility will resume Memorial Day 2007 and throughout the summer. In the meantime, tours are available by appointment only. Black Pine's new facility will offer: Free Parking (and a larger parking area!) Wheelchair accessible grounds and buildings First Aid Free use of picnic tables Free use of wagons and strollers (limited availability) Modern restrooms New tour areas (commissary and more!)

During the regular summer season, admission purchases for Black Pine will enable you to come and go from the park all day (hours vary).

Self-guided tours are recommended for anyone visiting with children age eight or younger. Our optional staff-guided tours, at no additional charge, are offered during the summer season with schedules posted daily. These optional tours are recommended for first-time visitors, and also for those age nine or older. Conducted by a member of our staff, these insightful tours offer you the chance to ask questions and learn personal histories and facts about each species on exhibit and to help you make responsible decisions about having animals in your own households. | |
