About National Tiger Sanctuary
National Tiger Sanctuary is a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to the care, rescue, and long-term housing of big cats.
The sanctuary offers guided public experiences that educate visitors about rescued lions, tigers, leopards, and other large felines while supporting animal welfare and sanctuary operations. Tours include a 45-minute Walking Awareness Tour that introduces guests to up to ten rescued cats and shares each animal’s rescue story; a one-hour Riding Safari on an open-air tram that can bring visitors within viewing distance of up to twenty-four big cats, including lions, tigers, and leopards; and additional experiences such as Feeding Tours, Behind the Scenes Tours, and Group Tours with details available from the sanctuary.
Each tour is guided by trained staff who present factual information about species, behavior, and conservation without direct contact between visitors and animals. National Tiger Sanctuary emphasizes safety for both animals and guests, maintains secure enclosures, and provides educational programming focused on animal history and needs. Visitor proceeds support daily care, veterinary treatment, enrichment, and rescue operations at the sanctuary. The sanctuary communicates transparently about tour formats, viewing opportunities, and any age or mobility considerations when booking. National Tiger Sanctuary welcomes educators, families, and groups seeking an educational, respectful way to learn about rescued big cats. Reservations are recommended for guided tours to ensure capacity management and to protect animal welfare during public viewing times. Photo opportunities are limited and controlled to minimize stress on animals, and the sanctuary posts current tour information on its official website online platforms.
