As a non-profit corporation, the St. Augustine Wild Reserve has created a rescue center for unwanted exotic animals. When many owners discover that exotic animals do not fit into their lives, this is when the Reserve steps in.  As an alternate option to euthanasia, the Reserve will gladly give these exotic animals a well cared for and loving home. Ultimately, their goal is to educate the public about exotic animals and the intense care that comes with them when deciding to own one to prevent future animal abuse.

The St. Augustine Wild Reserve offers tours Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 2 pm, by appointment only. Due to animal safety reasons The St. Augustine Wild Reserve is not open to the public, but are happy to offer 1 ½ - 2-hour tours at appointed times. During the tours, the tour guides will explain their backstory and general information about each of the animals. They allow guests to come 5-10 feet of the animals but don't allow touching animals for safety. On the tour, guests will meet rare tigers and many more.
