Treehouse is such a beautiful and awe inspiring organization. Today I rushed them a severely injured red eared slider I found on 255 and he was unable to be saved but the guy working assured me that had I not stopped, the turtle would have suffered greatly. Thank you so much to each and every person involved with this wonderful organization!!

Really nice volunteer/staff that explained the animal treatments well. It’s mostly outdoor. See bald eagles, owls, falcons, bobcats, coyotes and many others. Check out the animal nursery to see baby squirrels. There’s a table for children to draw/color. I do plan on going back with my sibling.

Amazing place!! There are so many different birds to see. We go often and always enjoy our time. The staff and volunteers are very friendly and quite knowledgeable. You can learn a lot while having fun doing so. Be sure to attend special events like Owl Fest! You will surely be happy you did :) It's a great place for the entire family.

We attended owl fest. Wonderful family event. Music food carts and vendors were great. The staff are very knowledgeable, and there is a wide variety of rescued wildlife to see.

Everyone should come here. What a great place to experience wildlife. Birds, coyotes, foxes. They can always use donations as well. We went to the Owl festival recently and had a great time. Much more to do than I expected.

A great, hidden little gem.All of the members of my family (children and adult) love our trips here and the events they put on. They do killer work for animals and work hard to educate people.

I always wanted to attend Owl Fest & was finally able to go. Everyone was super friendly & knowledgeable of the bird/animal they were "in charge" of.Just a heads up to disabled persons. The facilities are handicapped accessible; but very little is paved. Mostly white rock paths/driveways.

A wonderful place. Please donate because if it wasn't for your donations this animal sanctuary wouldn't exist. A big heartfelt thank you to all the donors.

My family and I enjoy the place and try to help with donations. Great way to see the wildlife that are in our area. Most were injured and helped by this facility.

We should’ve planned more as the building was closed. But you’re still able to see all the birds. They also have plenty of picnic tables.

So much fun! The eagles put on quite a show for us, it was really cool! We loved watching the two pelicans eat and were grateful to have been there during feeding time. The foxes and bobcats were all out and active as well. As always the staff was friendly and informative. Always a great time at the treehouse ❤️

Last week we found a baby squirrel that we assumed fell from its nest or had been abandoned. Our first instinct was to help him find his momma. We brought him in, learned as much as we could about caring for him while trying to reunite him with his family. My daughter became his mommy and woke up every 2.5 hrs to feed him & make him pee/poop. She tried multiple times to reunite and was not successful. On Sunday, we thought we should give him to Treehouse Wildlife Center as we felt they’d be better at giving him the nutrients he needed and be able to give him a family of other squirrels. It was a very tearful drive there and back. The man at the desk, Seth, told us after he had Squiggles in hand that depending on his weight it would be decided to either rehab him or feed him to the hawks/eagles as this was the way of nature. Now.. I ask you… WHY would you tell the average normal person this horribly dreadful information? Especially to a person who is visibly upset that we are leaving him?!! My daughter & I just tried putting it out of our thoughts, thinking we were doing what was best for him. But.. today, we got an update that they killed him. Absolute betrayal. Absolute disgust. I NEVER would have taken him there if I knew this would be the end result. I will boycott them. I’d even consider protesting their place of “sanctuary”. They receive donations along with (I assume) government funding to essentially kill the wildlife that is taken there for rehabilitation! They told my daughter that with his feedings every 2.5 hrs, they were unable to find someone to do it. I am so sad. So sad for the nurturing, loving human my girl is. So sad and breaks my heart to see that she blames herself for his demise. It’s not her fault. It’s theirs. They betrayed him. They betrayed us. I just can’t….

This place was highly disappointing. They have 5 Bald Eagles in a really small enclosure and was not clean at all. None of the enclosures were clean at all. All the animals looked miserable. I get what they are trying to do and respect it but they need to have respect for the animals. We were absolutely mortified at the condition of the enclosures. They also have a huge mole problem so you have to walk carefully so you don't twist an ankle.

Treehouse helps out so many animals! It's so nice to have a place like this nearby. They have animals on display that cannot be released back into the wild. It's totally free to visit, and is a great place to bring kids!

The tour was cool, my son kept saying he was bored but mostly because he didn't want to wait around while listening, he's 8. We loved seeing the animals they had outside. The eagles were very vocal and the Wolves were super cool. We went inside to do an activity which they had set up one for the smaller kids and another for the older kids. They all seemed to like the activity and looking around at all the skulls and fossils etc. that they have inside. We were part of a homeschool field trip. Definitely recommend.

My daughter LOVES this place. We go a couple times a year. Definitely something worth checking out. If you do visit, bring something to donate. They don't require it but they are always in need of things like laundry stuff, cleaning supplies, old towels and blankets and such.

It's beautiful there and such a good feeling to drive up to it and see the animals and then get out of the car and just hear nature. The employees there are nice, very caring and attentive to all the animals needs. They never seem to get impatient or upset with them even if they have to chase the some of the animals around to put them where they need to be. Warms my heart knowing there are places like this out there who are there to rescue animals and give them the life of love and care.

Excited to get back to take some time to see all of their exhibits. We stopped in while Eagle sightseeing. Didn't have much time to look around but what we did see was quite impressive. Very clean and organized. The employees were very helpful and willing to tell about all the exhibits. Animal in the exhibits were well cared for and clean.A definite place to return to. Very educational.
