philip's animal garden印象

Truly more than we bargained for! Well kept, well maintained. Lovely place for people and the animals that they take in. Great family activity.

Once we finally found it, we had a great time. We received a personal tour and were able to feed a camel and pet an assortment of animals. It is wonderful to have a site that cares for animals that were abandoned and were never meant to be pets. I feel our entrance fee went to a worthy cause. Bathrooms need improvement and remember to bring your own hand sanitizer.

Great cause - not a zoo but a habitat for abandoned or abused animals. Many animals still have sign of being hurt or malnourished. The tour is good but a little generic - should have focused more on the individual animals rather than information about the species. Kids gets carrots and pellets to feed to the animals which is good entertainment. A little hard to find, take a dirt road off the paved road that leads to the alto vista chapel. Reasonable prices.

We took our son there an he had a great time. He was able to interact with the kangaroos a bit. He had a really good time. It is nice to see that there is a place on the island that will take exotic animals in. It is worth going to.

It's a well-intentioned sanctuary with a promising entranceway, but once inside there was little explanatory signage or communication with staff. Some of the enclosures, especially for the monkeys, looked like concrete jail cells. On the positive side, the facility provides a home for unwanted creatures, and it is nice to be able to hand feed some of them with the bag of food provided upon entry. But the visit would be much more meaningful if the story of how the animals came to be there was told.

We started our UTV tour at Phillips Gardens and were very impressed with this Rescue zoo. AB shared a lot about the rescued animals of Aruba and the history of the island. We thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the animals, feeding them, and getting to know their history! A must visit on Aruba.

nice experience to feed all kinds of animalssome animals could have a bigger cage but hey, at least they have a home - otherwise they would have been killed... tip: do it as part of the UTV tour with around aruba

It was a very hot afternoon when we got there and as we were the only visitors at that time, we had the guide just for ourselfs :). In the ticket price you get a bag of goodies to feed some of the animals there. Feeding them is a very interesting and touchy experience even for a grown up; I can only imagine how kids will react :). What makes it different from a zoo, even if between you and animals there are still fences, it's the fact that almost each animal has it's onw story (often a sad one) that the guide is sharing with you and to me that was more memorable than a tag on a fence saying "This is a bear" or any other animal. It's impressive the work they make for this animals; while we where there, couple of people were working on arranging a new place for an animal that was about to come and and some were feeding the animals and they are all volunteers!

With so much animal abuse and neglect throughout the Caribbean (but not necessarily on Aruba), it was wonderful to see Philip hosting unwanted and/or abused exotic animals. The garden is well worth supporting and it's a fun 1 to 2 hour break from the beach. Wish they had a little better facilities such as cleaner bathrooms and maybe a snack bar, but otherwise we loved it.

The animal park is a sanctuary for animals that have been abandoned, confiscated or don't have anywhere else to go. The facility appears to be a work in progress. It was fun to feed some of the animals and learn how they came to be there. Our son loved feeding the goats, especially the 2 very small ones that could escape their pen. Those who work and run this park deserve to be commended for their efforts.
