The baby llamas are too adorable,you can feed them for $3.The binturong was sadly sleeping. The primates are cute and Jeffrey the cockatoo is super sweet. You can pay $40 to feed a sloth.Nice affordable family activity.

"You have to visit this place!!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed October 04, 2024
We had such a blast at the Rainforest Adventures!! This little gem may be one of Sevierville's bet kept secrets- and I'm hoping to expose the secret!! The animals seem very well cared for and the facility is clean. There are all sorts of animals to see and the placards are very informational. You can feed goats and llamas which is fun. The kookaburras are a hoot!!! For us, the biggest highlight of this trip was the Sloth Encounter!!! Yes- you can buy a sloth encounter where you get to interact with them and feed them their favorite treats!! My daughter is a huge sloth lover, so this was a real treat for her!! The keepers definitely know their business and are very, very conscientious about the animals during this event. We had a great time and will definitely do it again. This was our second visit to the facility, our first Sloth encounter and it was definitely memorable!!

Jungle Jim is why you go! Best animal show I have ever seen - he is hilarious, engaging, and knowledgeable. My whole family was in awe! I’ll remember cash next time (he deserves a tip!) Animals seemed well cared for, no distress, very clean.

"Kids loved it"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed August 24, 2024
Went with my wife and two kids (8, 18 months) Wasn't too crowded and the staff was very friendly. Both kids thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the animals but according to the 8yr old getting to feed the goats was the best! Place isn't huge so it won't take a terribly long time to see everything they have to offer but it was worth the visit.

"Don't go-It's a Roadside Zoo"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed July 30, 2024
DON'T GO- it is a roadside zoo that has had numerous complaints. Because the laws are so minimal, it is often difficult to attack roadside zoos from a legal standpoint. The cages are tiny, the animals look hot and dispirited, or animals are displaying stereotypic behavior, but due to lax enforcement, these issues are rarely cited. Even when exhibitors are consistently found non-compliant during inspections, they are typically allowed time to make “improvements.” Because the USDA rarely revokes operators’ licenses, or even levies fines, animals continue to suffer at roadside zoos all over the country. We seen tiny cages located to the side of the building. Not sure if animals were inside of them but it was about 98 degrees that day. We heard nothing but bad things regarding this place. Save your money and do something else.
