Day 2 of our weekend with
Jana & Rick saw us visiting the nearby Big Cat Habitat & Gulf CoastSanctuary. Just a few miles form
Sun-n-Fun RV Resort (you can hear the lions roaring in the morning), we had
free passes (thanks to the Florida Touism Bureau who, as we shared before,
offer free passes to front-line hospitality staff, like us). Since each of us
can get two free passes, the four of us went for free – always a good thing!
The Big Cat Habitat & Gulf Coast Sanctuary is
a non-profit home for big cats (lions, tigers, etc…), bears and other animals
in need. This is where these animals live the rest of their lives after being
performers, living in someone’s private home, from the circus, etc…. It is not a zoo, nor a circus itself, however
the one hour show we saw was somewhat circus-like with a monkey who did tricks
(training) and four big cats as the second act.
The premise of Big CatHabitat is good, no doubt. It really
wasn’t our thing, but it was nearby, the four of us all had some level of
interest, and free (always good!) Normal
adult admission is $15 per person, free parking, and they are open Wednesday –
Sunday, 12:30-4pm.
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!

We were in sarasota for xmas and we decided to go to the aquarium instead of the cat sanctuary. I hope I make time for it next year.
