Up-close with the wild: Alpine Sanctuary opens for summer tours & Stays
This summer, the sanctuary is offering a range of meaningful experiences, including guided educational visits, family-friendly programs, exclusive behind-the-scenes tours, and even a unique Stay the Night experience.

Roar!

As Southern California’s only Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries-accredited facility, Lions Tigers & Bears provides a lifelong home to more than 60 rescued animals, including lions, tigers, bears, and other exotic species. These animals have been saved from inhumane conditions in roadside zoos, circuses, private ownership, and the exotic pet trade.

    “We’re excited to welcome the San Diego community to Lions Tigers & Bears,” said Bobbi Brink, founder and director. “We are here to educate the public about the dangers of the exotic animal trade and the urgent need to rescue animals living in dire conditions. Every visit helps raise awareness and supports real change for animals in need.”

    This summer, the sanctuary is offering a variety of engaging experiences that give guests an inside look at the lives of rescued animals and the larger issues that affect them in both captivity and the wild.

    Educational Experiences for Children and Families

    From educational field trips to the Member-for-a-Day program, children and their guardians or parents will participate in meaningful learning experiences centered on wildlife rescue and humane animal care. Each child receives an interactive activity card designed to guide them through the sanctuary while reinforcing key lessons about compassion, respect, and responsible stewardship. Completed cards can be redeemed for some fun stickers!

    Guided Educational Visits

    Guests are invited to join guided walking visits through the sanctuary, where they’ll meet rescued animals, hear their powerful rescue stories, and witness firsthand the transformative care they now receive. Each tour is led by a knowledgeable guide, offering insights into the animals’ journeys and the broader issues affecting wildlife today. To learn more, click here.

    Behind-the-Scenes Rescue Experience

    For those seeking a more in-depth experience, Lions Tigers & Bears offers private behind-the-scenes tours led by experienced keepers and trained visit guides. Guests will enter the animal care or habitat perimeter and assist in feeding sessions, offering a rare opportunity to interact with these animals in a safe and respectful setting. This experience, designed for guests 18 and older, starts at $500 for two people.

    White Oak, Wild Nights – Stay the Night Experience

    Discover the inner workings of a true accredited sanctuary and ranch with the one-of-a-kind Stay the Night experience. Nestled beside the habitats of rescued tigers Moka and Nola, guests will enjoy exclusive overnight accommodations on our beautiful White Oak property, featuring two spacious bedrooms, a luxurious bath, and full access to the White Oak Grotto and Gazebo, which includes two pools, a wood-burning fire pit, and an outdoor patio with state-of-the-art grilling stations. As the sun sets, guests can grab a lantern and explore the sanctuary for a rare after-dark experience with the animals, offering a truly unforgettable connection to the wild. More than just a getaway, your visit directly supports the lifelong care and well-being of the animals that call Lions Tigers & Bears home. To book your stay, click here.
