Reviews
Beautiful sanctuary with very helpful staff! Can get really close to hummingbirds on the porch!! 🥰 Didn't see many other birds but this was probably due to limited amount of time there. …
A very cute place. Lots of birds specially hummingbirds. The harding truck trail doesn’t have much shade so be careful in the heat
Not too big but so much fun! Especially for kiddos! There is a small but super good arranged science center, a lot things to explore and learn for kids . Trails are good too.
Wonderful experience and lovely little hike. The bird watching balcony and gift shop are wonderful and educational.
This area is NOT DOG FRIENDLY. This is a place to watch birds so leave your 4 legged friend at home as they will scare away the birds. This area is a WONDER for children as thebgift shop has plenty of hands on guides to learn about the area. Definitely worth the drive but be mindful as the road to get here is extremely narrow and through a sweet and small community so go SLOW and be mindful.
If bringing a snack please be mindful not to litter, pack in and pack out and try your best not to bring single use plastics.
So pretty. Loved our time here. Free. Donations can be made in the gift shop. If you have kids the is a lot to do in the gift shop it's like a discovery center also. There is creek access, birds to see, beautiful trees. Pack out and pack in. It's a zero waste facility.
Cool little place to visit. It has a small Southern California wild life museum, trails and a bird watching area.
I took my school, The Nature Preschool, on a field trip to Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in the spring of 2023.
Our tour guide was experienced with working with children and had reasonable expectations of them. She gave us a tour while incorporating a child friendly game of "What animal lives here". The students, aged 2-5, were engaged and exited the whole time.
I would recommend a class field trip, touring the beautiful grounds alone, or a family day.
Ok, I haven't been able to actually visit the sanctuary. It's been closed since I've moved to the area. I decided to take a drive and was excited to see that the sanctuary is being reopened! When? I'm not sure, but I grabbed some photos for those interested in an update! Just being in the area gives a sense of calm.
