Panther Ridge Conservation Center in Ives Estates

Our experience was awesome!! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and we learned a lot. The cats are so loved and cared for and their environment is beautiful. I highly recommend this place and urge people to support them. ❤🐾

Once in a lifetime experience, Being able to be up close like that. Spectacular creatures. The tour guide kandice had so much knowledge of all the different type cats. Would highly recommend ...

Ive gone to Panther Ridge twice now. First time for a regular visit, and second time for the Twilight hours.Definitely definitely definitely do the Twilight hours! The staff are all there to answer your questions and interact with the animals, and dusk is the best time to see most of these cats be active.Support a good cause by stopping by...I will 100% be returning for more Twilight hours!

The animals are lovingly taken care of at Panther Ridge. The tour was fascinating and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I will definitely take guests again.

Cats are well taken care of and are willing to come see people. Staff is very friendly and willing to answer questions.

Head zoo keeper tour was so much fun! Nice private tour. Sadie was super cool!

Sadie was amazing and very personable on our Head zookeeper tour! Really cool place and experience. Cats were beautiful too

10 out of 10 experience. If you have the opportunity to make your way to Panther Ridge Conservation take it. I feel so fortunate to have experienced all these rare and amazing cats!

Awesome place! The cats are beautiful and very well taken cared of. We’ve been following them on Instagram for a few years and were so excited to finally be in the area to see them in person! The tour was very informative and we got to see all of them up close.

Being a Cat lover, this was beyond amazing, they are so well taken care of, the place is so beautiful and clean, our tour guide was so knowledgeable, I will definitely come back. 10 🌟 stars.

Highly recommended. Place is very clean and professional. Great experience for everyone. Cheap non profit. Great family owners very nice.We all loved it.

We are beyond greatful for this epic experience. Having a chance to be surrounded by such beautiful animals was amazing. The tour was wonderful, informative, and fun. The staff clearly love the animals. The animal enclosures are very nice and they all seem very happy. I highly recommend going.

We really enjoyed our visit. It was great to see all of the different animals in the conservatory. Great science experience for our little ones. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the animals. Definitely a great place to take the kids out of the house and away from electronics.

Great place for cat lovers! To fully enjoy your visit here I would recommend taking the Head Keeper Tour. This tour lasts about 2 hours and lets you enjoy the all cats as close as reasonably possible and even feed them from a stick.

We spent a great morning at Panther Ridge with the Grandkids. Our 9yr old grandson said "thank you, this is the most fun Ive had in a long time".

Had a great time learning about and seeing all the cats at this conservation center. Was very impressed with their attention to the cats health and how clean the place was!

Excellent tour of this rescue centre this afternoon. The cats are well looked after and with the majority being hand-reared they have a really close relationship with the keepers who also are clearly loved by the cats. Great place to spend 2 hours with the knowledgeable head keeper - especially watching the cheetah eyeing up a little boy as potential lunch 🤣🤭

If you like big cats or just organizations that are helping animals then this is a must see place. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, took her time, and answered many questions from adults and children alike.

Really cool place! Lots of great info! Really fun for my daughter and I! Would definitely go back!

Traveled 3 hours, absolutely no regret. Beautiful cats, important purpose, easily found.

This large cat preserve/rescue property is doing amazing things. Alexis our tour guide was so interactive and informative. I cant wait to go to the fundraiser event March 10th!!

Just finished a tour here and I was very impressed. There were 21 cats to look at and many different species. I was surprised with how close we were able to get to all the cats. Loved hearing about each cat and what makes the special. Brittany was an amazing tour guide and was filled with information.

Went to Panther Ridge new facility today and it was a nice visit. Got to see some pretty cool cats. The tour guy was amazing and very knowledgeable.

Wonderful experience with a staff that clearly cares about these animals. A lot of good and new information too. We went with a party of 8 that ranged from a 6 month old to the grandparents and it was a great hour long experience.

A unique opportunity to get a close look at these amazing animals. The tour was very informative and it was clear that these people care about the cats. Highly recommended.

The cats are really neat. The place is very clean and the animals are well taken care of. We really enjoyed are night. The people that work there are very well educated and like to share the knowledge. Thank you for doing such a good job.

Awesome conservation tour (night tourand the cats were beautiful. All were very cared for and the staff were very informative. It’s great that they’re part of the effort to save and rehab cats, clearly most of the staff had been there a very long time and enjoyed their jobs. Overall, a great experience and I learned a lot!

My experience at this place was exceptionally phenomenal!! I had a really great time!! I would totally recommend this place!! All the cats that I have seen today were amazing and our tour guide Hannah was excellent! She described all the information on the cats ad precisely as she could! Ive learned alot! Again, I had a great!!

I did the head keeper’s tour today. Sadie was great at guiding the tour and telling us about the big cats. The grounds are impeccable and of course the cats are just stunning, thank you for your conservation work.

the tour went by so fast because it was sooo much fun! all the cats are so beautiful and amazing to see in real life! would love to come back again

Kensie greeted us at the entrance and proceeded to introduce us to all of the cats they were caring for, they have a variety of big cats,and Kensie knew each one and was able to answer all our questions. It was a wonderful experience! We will be going again as soon as we can.

Not a conservation center lol. This is a zoo! They pay for most of there animals, how else do you think they get them all as kittens!?Also look at how small the enclosures are it’s pitiful. The people who work there are very uptight and rude maybe because they know they are doing is not at all good for the animals but just a way to make money.The owner says it costs 150k a year to run this place they make about 800$ a day via tours AND get donations! They probably gross a half a million a year, yet the animals have the smallest little ones enclosures, very ugly place. Do not recommend.

Wonderful place, came here for my birthday and will be back. It was amazing and everyone was so nice and caring.

This is great place to view and learn about big cats. Our tour guide was very informative and sociable. You can tell how much they care about the cats they help. We plan on booking another tour in the near future.

Such a beautiful, and peaceful, hidden spot in the middle of Loxahatchee! The guided tour was great! So informative and the guide did a great job explaining all the interesting facts about each cat/species, and kept us entertained! The cats are all beautifully kept in their spacious enclosures filled with stimulating toys and sleeping dens. You can tell all the cats are very happy here, which was really nice to see. We loved it!

Very special place, and was one of the best tours I have ever been on. This place is amazing. All these cats were saved from a very sad situation. The tour guide Aurora was awesome, and got to meet the owner who truly is extraordinary.

BEAUTIFUL conservation. Tour guide was friendly and informative. Cats are well taken care of and very healthy.

Great tour! Def recommend. Small groups about 20 people. Learned a lot about all the cats. You walk together to each cat and receive information on each ones background, breed etc. Wear a hat since it def gets warm. Maybe as they get more established in this new location, more trees will be planted for shade. Overall great visit!

If you love cats, not house cats but wild cats, then you need to visit here. The staff obviously love their job and it shows as they take you on a worldwide tour of exotic cats and show you them in action too boot! Ive been there twice and will go again every time they take on a new cat. What you will learn will amaze you as it did me and my household cat loving family. Enjoy!

What a great, big cat rescue! It isnt a gigantic place, but what they are doing is amazing! And totally reasonable for a tour! The cats are gorgeous and well taken care of. Our tour leader was full of great info! Things I learned, I had no idea!!! A great place to visit!

Amazing!! Finally a conservative Center that truly cares about animals! Each animal had plenty of space to roam freely, clean water, fresh nice cuts of food, the list goes on! Every keeper I met was well educated, friendly and did an amazing tour! I highly recommend Panther Ridge for a couples trip, family, school field trip etc! Very educational and unbelievably awesome too get up closer interaction with these beautiful big&little cats! Will definitely return!

This is a great little place. It doesn’t have a zoo feel to it at all (we are not fans of the entertainment quality of zoos). It’s truly a rescue shelter. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive toward the cats. You can tell this is their passion. The cats are well fed and cared for. We are looking forward to going back in November when they have the twilight hours (cats are most active at that time. It was hot while we were there at 11 so the cats stayed in the shade).

This is such a wonderful place- its a hidden gem that is tucked in South Florida! The cats are very well cared for and you can tell the cats LOVE the zookeeper and volunteers too. The love and compassion they have for these animals shows in their dedication to make them live the best lives ever. This is a super clean facility and excellent for all ages.Whether you are on a guided tour, self tour or get the chance to do an interaction- you will love the experience!

Very good facility doing great work. The cats all seem to be very well cared for and it was a great visitor experience.

Make some time for this hidden treasure. Get up close to rescued big cats like black jaguar, cougar, Florida panther, ocelots, and cheetah, to name a few. Learn about them in a small group tour led by knowledgeable and entertaining staff. Our donations keep them thriving and able to continue their amazing work.

Great place to learn about these beautiful cats!!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all of our groups questions. Had an opportunity to see them up close. They are well taking care of.

This is a special place. It is amazing the work they do here. Our family just took a guided tour. Our tour guide, Lisa, was phenomenal. Everyone should come out and support this conservation center and learn something along the way.

Came here a couple years back and wow what an experience and what a great cause to support! The girls are extremely informative and really get an up close and personal experience for us. Came her with my grandparents. Great for children or adults who love educational stuff.

This was a great spot for an animal (specifically, catlover. This is a sanctuary for rescued cats, many from the illegal pet trade. The tour was intimate and informative - there were only five of us, we were very close to the animals, and our tour guide was a college student doing an internship and knew her stuff. Highly recommend if youre in the area!

What a beautiful tour with Lisa! Still in renovation process but it was perfect. The animals are well taken care of and loved.
