点评:From the moment we entered, we were impressed. We watched a feeding session for the alligators and turtles, which was a great start to the tour. The sanctuary is exceptionally clean, and despite the hot weather, much of the tour is shaded. The staff even provided our group with bags of ice to help us stay cool. Ice-cold water was also available for a small fee, making the experience both enjoyable and safe.
The tour felt very personal because of the small group size. The animals were active and engaged throughout the visit, giving us plenty to see and learn. We even had the opportunity to hold small animals, reptiles, snakes, and a tarantula. The lion and tiger were given snacks during the tour, allowing us to see them up close.
Our tour guide, Jeremy, was knowledgeable, patient, and funny. What stood out most, however, was his genuine love for the animals. It was also impressive to learn that he personally built many of the animal enclosures.
If you're an animal lover, you'll appreciate the mission behind this sanctuary. McCarthy's takes in injured animals, rehabilitates them whenever possible, and releases them back into the wild. They also provide loving homes for animals that cannot be released and are often called upon by outside agencies to help animals in need.
This is much more than a wildlife attraction—it's a sanctuary dedicated to animal care, conservation, and education. I highly recommend visiting and supporting their important work! A short ride from Singer Island and worth it!

翻译:从我们踏入保护区的那一刻起,我们就印象深刻。我们观看了鳄鱼和乌龟的喂食表演,这为我们的参观之旅开了个好头。保护区非常干净,尽管天气炎热,但大部分参观路线都有树荫遮蔽。工作人员甚至为我们准备了冰块,帮助我们降温。冰水也只需少量费用即可享用,让整个参观体验既愉快又安全。
由于是小团参观,我们感觉非常亲切。动物们在整个参观过程中都非常活跃,让我们目不暇接,学到了很多东西。我们甚至有机会抱抱小型动物、爬行动物、蛇和一只狼蛛。狮子和老虎在参观过程中还被喂了零食,让我们有机会近距离观察它们。
我们的导游杰里米知识渊博、耐心十足,而且风趣幽默。然而,最令人印象深刻的是他对动物们真挚的爱。更令人印象深刻的是,他竟然亲自建造了许多动物的围栏。
如果您热爱动物,一定会认同这家动物保护区的使命。麦卡锡动物保护区收容受伤的动物,尽可能地帮助它们康复,然后将它们放归野外。他们也为那些无法放生的动物提供温暖的家,并且经常受其他机构的委托,帮助那些需要帮助的动物。
这里远不止是一个野生动物景点——它是一个致力于动物护理、保护和教育的保护区。我强烈推荐您来参观并支持他们这项重要的工作!从辛格岛出发只需很短的车程,绝对值得一去!
