1. Birds of Eden
Built over a valley cutting through an old-growth forest, this magical sanctuary is a free-flight aviary spanning five dome-enclosed acres. More than 3,500 birds of 220 species fly, flutter, and perch here, some of which are quite tame. The main focus is African birds, and you'll see African grey parrots, Cape canaries, and greater flamingos. Take time to sit on one of the benches and listen to their calls—it's like being in the Amazon. You can grab a bite at the little restaurant overlooking the flamingo pond. Buy a memento or a gift at the well-stocked gift shop as you leave.

2. Cango Ostrich Farm
One of the least commercialized ostrich farms, Cango has guides that explain the bird's extraordinary social and physical characteristics. There are lots of interactive opportunities, including feeding and petting the ostriches and posing with one for a photo. From September to February, you may see babies hatching. The farm is conveniently located en route to the Cango Caves.

3. Cango Wildlife Ranch
The name is a bit misleading, as this is really just a glorified zoo, crocodile farm, and cheetah-breeding center, but it is great fun, especially for kids. In addition to the crocodiles and cheetahs, you may see white Bengal tigers and lions. Other attractions include a snake park, a tropical house with giant fruit bats, and enclosure with pygmy hippos. In short, there are loads of different animals to keep the little ones amused for hours.

4. Monkeyland
Don't be put off by the cutesy name. This award-winning refuge houses abused and abandoned primates, most of which were once pets or confined to zoos. They now roam in a huge enclosed area of the forest and are free to play, socialize, and do whatever it is that keeps primates happy. There are lemurs, gibbons, spider monkeys, vervet monkeys, howler monkeys, and many more. Guided walks are offered throughout the day, and the tamer residents often play with guests. Entrance to the viewing deck and restaurant is free, but you'll only get close up and personal if you take one of the guided walks. Prepare to be enchanted.
