"Great fun, happy animals and GREAT staff!"

Reviewed September 03, 2025 NEW

Wonderful place to visit-- we had so much fun! The website doesn't really make it apparent how extensive this place it! So many animals, obviously we'll cared for and sociable! The employees are kind and helpful and help with any questions. One gentleman even talked to the kookaburra so they would sing for us! I took my wife there mainly to see a sloth, her favorite animal, and Trey was wonderful and made her sloth encounter so memorable and fun! Thank you Trey! We bought one pack of food for the lamas and goats, but wish we'd bought more! The sloth encounter was only $40 but WELL worth it. The marmosets, golden tamarinds and Moluccan Cokatoo are very sociable, especially the marmosets, so you might want to spend a little more time with them! We were there two hours and LOVED IT! We definitely recommend it, it's very reasonably priced!

"Good but left feeling disappointed."

Reviewed July 29, 2025

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!"

Reviewed June 15, 2025

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.
