We went here to see the sloths. However when arriving were told the momma sloth and baby were not part of the exhibit at the present time. Really bummed! The place was awesome though. Really a nice place! Kids loved it. We will go back!

A tremendous collection of animals. If youre in the area, grab tickets online for one of their two scheduled visits Saturday and Sunday. Its a great venue, and a thrill for anyone that gets a chance to stop in and see these amazing creatures.

Maybe we are wrong but there seem to be Tons more animals online than we saw there. Cool presentation in middle of walk through. Warning to anyone with kids that have sensory issues. The birds in the main room are ridiculously loud when they get going.Also- MUST BUY TICKETS ONLINEPrivate showing would have probably been better. Awesome little conservancy we never knew about..may go back for.private tour. Probably more animals

We visited today and loved it! The animals are very well taken care of, the employees are extremely knowledgeable and they have great policies in place for covid. We cant wait to go back next month to see the North American animal presentation!

Me and my kids enjoyed seeing all the animals and all the staff was very knowledgeable about the animals and they were very helpful with any questions or concerns we might have had.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! A large variety of animals for the size of facility. Family friendly. The shows are up close and personal.

Friendly employees like a miniature zoo. My grandmother liked it. Very nice about answering questions

Fantastic sanctuary for animals and a wonderful staff who make any visit a pleasure.

This place is amazing!! Each habitat is made with such care, you can tell the animals love it. They do different live demos too where you can learn about the animals and see them interact with the workers.

Awesome and educational place that truly cares about the well-being of animals. I was able to start volunteering in December of 2018 and its been awesome

Absolutely love the adult animal education. Great info and presentation. Great knowledgeable staff! The cougar was the best. Loved watching her play. The facility is a god send for people who had exotic animals and decided that its not for them. These people are great to take in these animals. What a wonderful place

My girls and I had a great time. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable

I am surprised why any one would rate this place below 5 stars!!. Its a non profit organization that houses rescued animals for educational purposes. For the kind of funds they have, the place is really well maintained. Staff are helpful, friendly and informative. What else you expect ? . Its the right place for kids to get to know the animals and understanding how important they are for healthy balance of eco system. Parking is limited but most of the time available. Access is from Ann Arbor Saline road. Tickets are under $10 as of 2018 September.

Great experience for the kids. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff.

I love this place. Please help support by donating to their amazing facility.

I fell in love with the Creature Conservancy while we were there. They have many rescued animals, including Tulip, the adorable red kangaroo. There were lively presentations about various animals in their care and they even let us give Tulip a quick pet after the presentation. She was so incredibly soft! They had a cougar, tortoises, opossums, sloths, birds, an alligator, and more! Id recommend coming here, and even more if you have kids.

Love this place! A scrappy little zoo that is clearly built and run with passion, and makes for a fun weekend afternoon. We come with our preschooler at least a few times every year, and recently brought my parents too who also had a great time and were impressed. Really interesting animals, great presentations and programs. Its always changing - new animals on display, innovative enclosures and spaces for them.

This was a nice surprise. We brought our daughter, we all enjoyed the setup. We will definitely return when it gets warmer and are able to explore outside more. They have little informative presentatiions on the creatures, great for kids.

This place is wonderful and run by very meticulous, friendly, and passionate staff. I opted to pay for the private tour and it was definitely worth the money, which also goes to a great cause. The tour-guide Alex was super knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend.

I am not sure how this place went under our radar for so long, but I am glad we finally discovered it! While I cannot speak for the experience for the regular admission, my husband and I had an amazing time on our private tour with Alexander. He showed us the facilities, introduced us to all of the animals, provided tons of interesting facts about the species he was showing us, as well as fun information regarding the personalities of the animals themselves. He told us that this was our tour and to let him know if we wanted more or less information about any particular animals, but really, everything he presented was perfect. We had many questions and he was able to answer all of them. In addition to getting to see all of the animals, we also got to pet a kangaroo, feed porcupines, and feed sloths. I definitely plan to come back and see the animals when it is warmer and more of them can venture outside and get to see the demos put on during regular hours.

Drove from Lansing to check this place out. I loved the aesthetic. The wood with metal and glass. Every animal has its own very unique enclosure. Looks like they do a animal spotlight, show, teaching thing every half hour. My only regret is that I got here at 4pm (they close at 5) and then went in the middle of winter. This place would be ever better when you can see animals outside!

Amazing little place. My son loved it. We spent about 3 hours there. Very informative and friendly staff.

Wonderful what they do to rehabilitate and protect wild animals, many who were taken in as pets and abandoned! The staff is wonderful and the presentations are great! Lynx, cougar, two alligators, so many turtles, five beautiful parrots, a kangaroo, emus, and so many reptiles. Like a little zoo!

A great place to spend a day there! The animals are very cute and its educational for adults and children.

Loved the place except when I searched petting zoos near me this place came up and I was expecting a be able to actually pet some animals. A few of the enclosures really need some work. Hopefully after there benefit coming up they can fix up what needs it...

The children loved the experience and I would have to say I loved it also.....

Great experience! Everyone left with a smile.

Always love visiting here. Very informative and knowledgeable with really amazing animals. Small but the time flies with in depth interactions.

I highly recommend visiting this sanctuary. The animals are well cared for and the staff very knowledgeable. Great for both children and adults.

Hands down one of my favorite places in Michigan, and certainly in South East Michigan. If you are a lover of animals, you must check this place out. Creature Conservancy is home to many exotic animals, some rescued, some from zoos. The staff takes time educating the public on the animals; all of their educational programs and series have been fantastic. We had a private party for my birthday where I got to select which animals my guests would get to interact with. I still get people who gush about that birthday party! Where else can you get up close to a cougar while she eats, or a reindeer during the holidays? Their seasonal/holiday programs are a lot of fun!

Great fun place for children and adults. The animals are very cool and exotic! I cant wait to try the indoor animal shows Saturday and Sunday only. My kids and I will have a lot of fun and learn a lot as well! I recommend anyone with children to go visit them!!!

We took my nieces here last winter and they had a blast. Its a neat exhibit that adults can enjoy as well.

Great place! My whole family loves it and will go back as soon as it opens again!

Fantastic place with very caring and knowledgable staff. Beautiful facilities and great animals. Thats Harper in the picture- shes a puma.

This place is a gem! I love how close you can get to the animals. I went with adults only and being at the Creature Conservancy brought us back to that child like wonder. The shows and demonstrations were informative and entertaining. The staff is so inviting, friendly and enthusiastic about the animals. The hr and half drive was so worth it!!

Outstanding experience, amazing place for kids, teens and adults

The Creature Conservancy is a great place to visit! The animals are amazing and the staff are very knowledgeable. Especially enjoyed the sloth show and the three-banded armadillo show, as well as talking to the staff about the animals. The shows change frequently, so Im sure Ill be coming back to experience more

Had a private tour here, and it was so awesome. An amazing experience, so much to see and I recommend it to anyone.

You get to see a wide variety of animals that have been rescued or were owner surrenders. I spoke with multiple staff members and they dont make you feel like youre bothering them if you have questions. Backgrounds are posted for each animal. I adored some of the punny names. A raven named Poe, a reindeer named Sven, and a pair of crows named Russell and Sheryl. Very friendly, educational and fun! And its only $10 for adults!

My family had a great experience here. The animals all appear to be very well cared for and the staff was knowledgeable. The animal presentations were fun to watch and the way the animals interacted with the staff demonstrates a high degree of trust for the type of wild animals they house. I was quite impressed.

The Creature Conservancy is a must-see attraction. The staff were very friendly and informative, and the animals were amazing! The enclosures are designed so you can be up close and personal with the animals. I learned a lot during the creature presentations. Each creature has a unique enclosure and the Conservancy has an effortless flow that allows to see everything at your own pace. While there, I had the opportunity to feel/pet turtles, snakes, porcupine quills, and a kangaroo! I cant wait to go back to see how the place has grown!

Such a neat place! Going to check out membership prices because each month is a new theme.

Great place that provides a great service to creatures big and small.

This place is awesome! Staff is knowledgeable & compassionate. Its very clean & not too large of an area to navigate. Of course, the sloth alone is a good reason to check this place out..loved the raven & artic fox. My daughter & I got lots of amazing pics! I plan to return.

Absolutely wonderful place! All the workers are extremely helpful and involved with their customers!

Booked a private tour for my birthday and loved it! Fun interacting with the animals and learning about them. Worth it!

What a feel-good alternative to the overcrowded zoo. This was more than entertaining for my son, it was interactive and educational. I loved hearing the animal’s stories. Thank you for an amazing experience and the important work you do.

Pretty cool that you can walk in the areas and be up close with animals. My son loved the sloths

Best place to learn about animals up close and personal with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

They have so many different animals and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable! Me and my fiance decided to get the VIP tour, and if you are on the fence about signing up yourself, DO IT! We got to feed grapes to sloths, hear a cougar purr like a kitten, and feed sweet potatoes to some surprisingly adorable porcupines. I couldnt have asked for a better experience and I will definitely go back again and again.

Amazing experience, better than the zoo. You can get very close to the animals and can tell that the people that work there are very dedicated to educating the public while caring for the well-being of the animals.We paid for a private tour and it was more than worth every penny. Got to feed many of the animals and learned a ton about them. Our daughters will never forget feeding the sloths. Our tour guide Kim was great.Well definitely be going back.

Great place love what they do with the animals. They are very informative.

Definitely all the good review but they need AC/vents or some kind of circulation system. There was a single fan in the hall and people were crowded around.. They also would benefit from a vending machine even only drinks. We had to cut our trip short bcz it was way too hot inside. The turtle display was practically a sauna. Staff was amazingly knowledgeable and we attended 2 presentations that we enjoyed.

This place is awesome! There are a whole bunch of really cool animals in here. The staff is super friendly and will educate you all about the various critters. Theres also small seminars every 30 minutes which feature a particular animal. This would be a fantastic place to take young kids so they can see animals and learn. The entry price is really low as well so its a great afternoon.

So much interesting information, great staff with important mission. Its interesting and fun for everyone, children and adults, one of our very favorite places in Washtenaw County.

An amazing collection of animals from many countries and continents. I like that this place accepts injured and surrendered animals and allows them to educate and inspire every generation. This place is open during the week to school groups and field trips and on the weekend to the general public.

The reviews are all true - fantastic place at the perfect price~! Will definitely go back again. Cant believe this hidden gem was so close to me and I never knew it existed!!!!!!!!!!

Such a cool place. So much fun & lots to see & learn about

Love going here. Look forward to an educational experience encountering numerous species we share our planet with. Dont miss out on your opportunities, you will not regret

An adorable collect of animals! Not a very large place, but worth a visit. Most of the animals are rescues. The appear very well cared for and the staff are very friendly and knowledge!

Great place especially for kids - great cause too!

Wonderful place with a wonderful cause. The animals seem well treated, and the staff is very welcoming.

Amazing! This place does great work. Got to touch a couple of sloths! Take the kids!

This is a great place to visit yourself and take the kids or grandkids or out-of-town visitors with an interest in animals. There is a lot to see and the staff is especially friendly. Admission prices are reasonable and you can feel good about paying because this is a nonprofit educational organization. The best time to go is on the weekends when they have many programs and presentation (these vary by the season). We watched a presentation on reindeer . It was very informative and enjoyable and the staff answered many questions and interacted well with the audience.

The staff here are so friendly and knowledgeable...they truly take the experience to the next level. We went in the winter time and well definitely be back in the summer. The outdoor areas look like a blast.

The outside area is free to roam around. You have to pay to see the inside which has most of the animals. Pricing is:$10/adult. $8/kidOverall pretty cool place.

Son volunteered there for the summer. Its a great place to take kids!!

We love this place! Its a great option for cold or snowy weekend days. The staff is great, the animals are awesome, and you get much close r to them and learn more about them than a zoo

Just a quick tour from our Kids will definitely go back for the full tour!

Amazing staff. They had great info on the animals and were super welcoming. And such cool animals there. Loved it!

Great instructors and informative

A very nice and intimate mini zoo. All the staff is well trained to provide unique information about the animal and each 30 minutes they have a talk session about animals and QnA. Very suitable for children, family weekend activities.

The personal tour is a must. The guide eas very informative and saw a lot of amazing animals. We were able to feed and pet some of the animals and the sloths were amazing!

Small area to get closer to the exhibit and animals. Employees are great for answering questions and giving presentations. Many different animals but especially enjoyed the kangaroos, Luna the white alligator and so many hands on displays.

Totally worthwhile. Both outdoor and indoor exhibits where you can get up close. The animals are clearly treated well. Short, frequent programs were informative and fun. Staff was knowledgeable.

Fun little place, the animal shows are pretty neat and loved the sloths and wild cats. They really seem to care about the animals.

Booked a private tour as my cousins birthday present. So, two adults in their mid to late 30s. It was fantastic! We saw some animals up close, got to see some fed, even got to feed and pet a couple! Never expected to get to experience all that we did. Our guide, Patricia, who is the director of the Conservancy, knows every creature there in depth. We both learned SOOO much! I will definitely be going back!Coming from Jackson, I took a route that had me off the highway at Stivers restaurant. Was a great route to take to avoid the traffic youll get closer to A2. The Conservancy does share its parking lot with Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital. My GPS seemed a tad confused just before we turned onto Ann Arbor-Saline Rd, wanting me to turn right instead of left. But the Vet office & Conservancy were clearly visible to my left, as they are on the corner, so I didnt have any issues finding the entrance or parking.

Another gem of a place,both my children were mesmerized and the folks that work there are very knowledgeable and share everyday things about the animals and birds in there. Well rounded experience and a good day trip

Love seeing my favorite owl in the back

So fun! We will definitely go back since different animals are featured at different times. My 3 year olds attention was held the whole time and she didnt want to leave!

Got up close and personal to Al the alligator...very cool! The cougar Harper was GORGEOUS!! we got to see them feed the baby linx, sooo cute!

Great up close alligator show, at least for a few more weeks.

A true treasure in SE Michigan!

This place is great! There are lots of different animals. They do shows with the animals, giving interesting information about them, and you can also walk around and look at them. The workers are all very friendly and knowledgeable.

Place was awesome, you could tell they all really cared bout the animals and they had a huge snapping turtle... I like turtles.

Nice place for the family. I wish they made it easier to find the front. Beware of the black goose! Fairly priced.

My daughters would go there every weekend if they could. So many awesome improvements have made the experience there even better. Kids outing, date night - an awesome place to check out some amazing animals and even learn about animals you dont see every day.

Yesterday, I went on a private tour at TCC, and my mind was blown. Dan was our tour guide and we did this for my birthday. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life!! We got to help feed animals, touch them, learn a lot of interesting facts about these different animals, and my dream came true of meeting a sloth. I got to meet TWO. Dan was an absolute all star and very accommodating. My friend and I had never been and I now want to go back for another tour. I cant recommend this place enough. The animals seem so happy and the staff is absolutely incredible. Even if you dont want a private tour, I believe Dan said it was only $8 to spend the day there and you get to meet different animals (we fed an emu celery out of our hands before our tour even started and that was open to the public. We also touched the ant eater as he walked down the aisle and that was also for the public). You get experiences here you can only dream of. Get here. You will not regret it!

A great little animal sanctuary/zoo. Its small but well worth a visit, with several opportunities to get up close to various animals like tegus, sloths, and bearcats.

The staff is very knowledgeable about the animals, and put their care and comfort first.

Nice place, very informative and all staff are very friendly!

Awesome animal rescue exhibits. Show and tell and touch presentations. Great variety but not overwhelming for children or families.

Awesome place! An excellent alternative than going to a zoo. Much more personal interaction with staff and animals. Extremely well priced (even the mini gift shop). Enjoyable and walkable for all ages.

If I could only recommend one place for a great family experience, this would be it! Truly one of a kind! And nicely priced for admission, too! HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU PAY A VISIT!

This place is so amazing! They have some many rescued animals that you can visit and learn about. We love sloth month!

Took my 2 kids, mother in law and brother in law for our 1st trip here. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to going back. What a great staff and beautiful animals!!! Prices are great too. ️

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The facilities are well maintained.

Very educational. Very interesting. Perfect for the whole family.

The mountain lion is my fave!

Fun place. Great exhibits! Great staff interaction
