Traveler Reviews
Connecting with Nature. Been visiting Staglands since i was young and single and now a Grandma and still loving the place. Recommend you plan for a whole day because once around the circuit is just not enough.

We have an annual pass and go quite often. It never gets boring.
It's great to get out as a family be active and enjoy the animals and just wind down from busy every day life.
We love Staglands.

We have been there more than 10 times over the last 3 years, every time we bring our friends or families. this place is wonderful and to exciting. Staff are so friendly and I would say they are working really hard to maintain this place as a natural habitat for the animals. Thanks from our heart to the team. Every time when I ask my son where does he want to go, he says “Staglands”,

Visited last year in spring & this year it was on the must do again list for our three boys (10,8,3). As it was a winter visit this year (so no cute baby animals) and even on a drizzly day, the kids thoroughly enjoyed exploring the enclosures & feeding various animals, the tractor ride, the river crossings & the toasted marshmallows. We also loved the complementary EV charging station! Thank you
