Have you ever looked a tiger in the eye? Felt the whole-body impact of lions roaring? Watched wolves romp through the woods? These and other once-in-a-lifetime experiences are possible at the Conservators' Center, a wildlife conservancy for more than 80 animals. An "oofing" at the Conservators' Center is an experience you'll have to feel to believe. It's the earth-shaking sound our lion prides make when they roar to one another. Our guides call to them on every tour, and you may have the opportunity to hear them from as close as 5 feet away! You'll also get up close and personal with tigers, leopards, wolves, lemurs, binturongs, and other exotic species. Tours, adoptions, memberships, and other donations support our work, so every visit from you helps us help them. Tours are held every weekend as well as some holidays. We have private experiences and field trips during the week. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED! PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE TO GET A RESERVATION FOR YOUR TOUR!

I visited the Conservators Center with my 8 year old grandson and other family members. We thoroughly enjoyed the center. We walked around the compound for an hour visiting and learning about each one. Leah, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and knew each animal by name. I especially loved it when all the animals were "talking" to each other. It's not everyday you get to hear several lions roaring at the same time. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you are walking on dirt and gravel. All the volunteers were very nice and there is also a gift shop that we enjoyed.

We visited on a Saturday. One other visitor was there. There is a lot to see here. There is a guide who can show you the various rooms and adds interesting commentary. This museum does an excellent job in showing life in central NC from the 1800s through the 1960s, especially the development of the textile industry.

You cannot help but to have a great time enjoying the natural setting provided by this park. They do have a Frisbee golf course. We, however, were there for their Family Camp Out and it was the best experience. We had a great time of fellowship, and the park coordinators took care of everyone. There was a historic farm house with animals you could interact with, and the bathrooms were clean; which surprised me since it is an outdoor location. We will be returning for the next Family Camp-out in the spring.
