What an awesome place this is.
We (adults) were charged $5 per person for admission and we didn't mind at all. What a cheap price to help such a neat place.
There were tons and tons of ducks. The pond was so cool! They had exotic birds, they had turtles and burros. Near the pond we saw tons and tons of eggs just lying there it was a cool scenery to see.
I loved feeling like I was out of the "city" for a bit.
The people there were very friendly. They have a wish list of things they need on a constant basis. We brought empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls I mean come on we all use those things so why not save the empty rolls and drop them off even if you don't plan to go inside. They also need real pine cones so next time you are up at Mt. Charleston why not pick some up and collect them in a bag to donate to them.
I recommend everyone experience this place at least once and try and donate what you can!
