Get to know them.

Critter Encounters is a private wildlife sanctuary and animal-education organization in Ramona. Its reserved tours introduce a broad range of residents, with formats ranging from a focused encounter to a longer guided look around the sanctuary. The educational setting is central: guides explain the animals and decide which interactions are appropriate.

Tour choices differ in length, group size and the animals included, so compare them before booking. Hands-on opportunities depend on the species and its wellbeing that day. The organization also brings presentations to schools, parties and other community settings. For an individual visit, reserve a tour rather than treating the sanctuary as a walk-in attraction.
