I'm so glad we got there first thing in the morning. The office was still closed when we found the Animal Ark outside of Reno. Much later in the day and it would have been too warm for me (I don't deal with heat very well).

While planning a trip to Reno/Tahoe, I came across a deal for two for one admission to Animal Ark. I am so glad we went! Having just had knee surgery, they offered me a golf cart to do the trails. They suggested a $10 donation for the use of the golf cart, but we ended up gladly giving them $20.... More

I actually visited this place in 2003, and was impressed with the facility and the was that they cared for the mental and physical well-being of the animals. Didn't make it there in 2013, but plan a return trip just to support their cause.

When we saw the Animal Ark on Trip Adviser, I was a little skeptical about it. But while visiting Carson City to see my friend we decided to go to Animal Ark for the afternoon. We loved all the animals and the state of their enclosures was very well done. It is definitely with the drive! The staff is very... More

This is a small habitat with quite a few animals which have been rescued for various reasons from the local Nevada/California area. Facility is extremely well maintained, staff is helpful and informative. It is great fun watching their resident black bear play with his toys and tear away of the creative devices in which they hide his food. Good place... More

If you like animals, and who doesn't, this is a great place to take the kids. It's both fun and educational, and a cause worthy of supporting.

It is so nice to see such beautiful animals so well taken care of. The educational aspect is a bonus. Cheetahs are beautiful and their stories are so interesting. Loved it.
