Wildhaven is a sanctuary for hurt or abandoned wild animals, where they are either rehabilitated and released back into the wild, or if that isn't possible, kept and cared for. It's obvious the staff (paid and volunteers) care deeply for the animals. They give tours by reservation, and the staff is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit!

Loved the experience, they had the viewing of the animals set up nicely.
It was very interesting. Loved the howling coyotes and how we have a better understanding of them now. We live in coyote country and have always hated the howling now that we understand it better it won't be so bad. I would definitely visit again.

Such a cool experience! The animals were amazing and the tour hosts were super knowledge. Such a great cause for animals who would've died or been abandoned! We did the extra bear feeding and it was an awesome end to the tour.

I lived in Lake arrowhead for most of my life, went here when I was younger, and had an amazing time, even participated in a pumpkin carving contest they held and won! I remember that the experience was inexpensive, and that they were open at least a few days a week. Now it's expensive, only available by reservation, and only open one day a week. Very sad because although I would love to bring friends when I visit, it's just not possible. For a town with very little to do, it used to be a gem.

Take the tour, but make sure to bring cash. The animals are great and the tour is a fun experience.

I took my husband here for his 40th birthday. Great visit! Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable, grounds were clean. Animals were beautiful and you can tell are very loved. Price for the time frame was worth it. All admission money and gift shop money goes towards the care of the animals. Diane had the whole group sing happy birthday to my husband and let us take pix of the hubby next to the bear. Super nice lady who is compassionate and has given her life to care for injured and orphaned animals. I would return.
