Yesterday my dad watched Katrina so we go a day to go out. One of the places we went to was Safaris Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary in Broken Arrow. For anyone who hasn’t been yet I highly recommend it. They let you interact with the animals quite a bit and it’s much more entertaining than a normal zoo.

They started out with mostly big cats but have expanded quite a bit over the last few years to include wolves, bears, monkeys, lemurs, birds, reptiles and several other animals. They let you feed just about all of them and you can hold several of them (not the cats).

It’s fairly cheap, $6 a person for admission plus the cost of any food you want to feed them. We got a 12 pack of chicken legs for $10 and a bag of animal crackers for $1. So all together $23 for a 2 hour guided tour for the both of us.

We had been once before and it was a lot smaller back then, but they let you get into the outer cage and feed the tigers with tongs instead of with a 10 foot pole. I guess someone finally lost a hand or something and they had to quit. Before they’d let you hold the food way up high and make the cats jump for them whic is still quite intimidating even with the fence.

Here’s the pictures.
