I am a Gilcrease Bird Sanctuary Fan! I have been bringing my kids here for the last 4 years. It is a small quaint escape to a place where Las Vegas children can see animals from horses, pigs, llamas, and donkeys, to exotic birds of many kinds.
The sanctuary suffered a fire this last year which destroyed some of its buildings. The organization is still there and actually working on outreach to make the park bigger and better for valley families.
Don't miss the art festival in April which always offers unique crafts and booths from local animal rescue organizations.
Well worth the $5 per grown up and $1 per child admission. Plus bring either your own food for the animals or quarters to buy from the machines.
