Been to this facility 3 different times for their tour day, which is Saturday. They also offer a private tour. The place is amazing and so are the people who maintain this sanctuary! They just lost dear “Sampson”. He was so special and loved by every visitor who was lucky enough to visit! They have a FB page that you can like and get updates. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some wild cats and other animals up close! A lot of interaction....

Gan Eden Farms offers tours of our sustainable farm. Our tours are available on a very flexible schedule by appointment (so we can meet you at the gates and introduce you to the dogs). We grow a variety of crops for farmers markets and we have goats, chickens, cows, poultry, and dogs to interact with, all in a family-friendly setting.

Gan Eden Farm was a great first Harvest Host experience for us. We were greeted by Gary and his 2 friendly dogs Zeus and Meghan. After setting up our 5th wheel, Gary provided an informative tour of his farm, orchard and garden area, taking time to explain about each type of animal and plant. In the morning, Gary came by with a basket of products made fresh from the farm, from which we purchased pecan salt, apple cider vinegar, assorted jams and a home made candle. A 5 star experience, highly recommended!

My husband and I recently visited Kitty Carroll and eight of her raptors at Hearthstone Gardens for half a day. As someone who has loved and appreciated falconry since first introduced, I was memorized by this experience. To see these animals up close and personal and get to do things absolutely hands-on was incredible. As an equestrian, I'd compare this experience to the difference between going on a nose-to-tail trail ride and and an up close lesson with a renowned trainer. You can ask all of the in depth questions that you may have and really get a sense for the birds. We often delight over glimpses of birds of prey at our farm and it's a rare treat to see one land close by for 30 seconds or less! To get 4 hours of time with them on the glove and flying around with you and even experience the difference in their personalities. We will be going back and would recommend this to anyone - it is a truly amazing experience and something you'll never forget.

Beautiful and relaxing. Would definitely go back to explore the other side of the river, think it is called the Big Oak trail.

This was our primary training grounds for our cave course. Despite spending 10 days diving here, we were only able to explore about half of the caves. Do NOT enter the caves without proper training! People have died here doing that. The walking trails were pleasant, but not wheelchair accessible. The springs proper do have wooden walkways to allow access.

They have lots of things to do, beautiful location. We rode our golf cart all over, big bat house, thousands of bats fly out in the evening just before dark. nice beach on the river. We traveled in our motor home. Camps sites are big and have all hookups. My daughter and son enlaw go once a month, love it.
