"Good but left feeling disappointed."

Reviewed July 29, 2025 NEW

I loved looking at all the rainforest exhibits. However I wasn’t clear that the snakes only come out as “shows”. Which is why I chose this. My husband and kids wanted to be able to interact so as a wife/mother I left feeling guilty that they didn’t get the very thing I talked up.

"Family fun experience with Jungle Jim!"

My family of 4 visited on Friday 6/13/2025. Truly a hidden gem!! The ladies upfront were friendly and very welcoming. We got there around 1:50ishpm which gave us plenty of time to explore and see all the cool animals. My kiddos loved that they were very active and loved getting to be able to feed the goats and llamas. There was a live animal show at 3pm with Jungle Jim.. Jungle Jim was AWESOME, more like phenomenal! He was very educational, did magic acts, called upon volunteers (kiddos and adults), let us pet animals he brought out, and was hilarious! He didn’t only keep the kiddos laughing but he kept us parents laughing too. Thank you Rainforest Adventures and Jungle Jim for making our visit top tier. We can’t wait to visit again on our next trip back to the Smokies.

I saw a truck on the Parkway with an advertisement so decided to stop in. If you like reptiles, this is your place! ;) It also had lots of other animals - goats, llamas, birds, tortoises and of course monkeys. The animals were playful as the temps were not too hot. It was a nice place to stop and walk around to visit the animals. I enjoyed the guinea pig pen LOL Of course, I had to buy some food to feed the goats! they were very friendly when I had food! LOL I recommend you stop in and the kids will enjoy the visit.

Don't believe the internet! They don't have as many things as it promotes. Most of the things can be seen at a pet store. People working there were super nice! Surprise was porcupines and a sloth and a huge group of Guinea pigs (not listed on the internet). You can have a sloth interaction for additional fee. Just meh.
