Come celebrate International Tiger Day with the big cats at Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary! Enjoy a fun-filled day of tigers, music, food and so much more! This event is one of our biggest fundraiser of the year & 100% of the proceeds go back to the sanctuary to care for the animals. Gates open at 10am and close at 2pm. Admission is $10 at the door, kids 3 and under are free. Tickets can also be purchased in advance online for $10/person.

During the day you can meet a tiger keeper, watch the cats receive special themed enrichment and visit one of the many vendors on site that day. Kids will have a blast playing the carnival/conservation games, having their face painted, creating their own “paw” painting, tiger themed story times and so much more! This is fun for the whole family!

Every year we have a different theme for the enrichment that we put into the habitats. Come out and watch the cats as they sniff, tear and destroy their enrichment. Enrichment is a critical part of keeping our cats happy and healthy and IT Day is when they get the most!

We only offer this opportunity twice a year so don’t miss out!
