Too few employees for so many demanding large animals.
St. Augustine Wild Reserve的点评
点评：I took 3 of my grandchildren here mid-day on a late summer afternoon. We thought it would be a fun for the kids to see the animals in their natural habitats.
While the staff can't control the weather, it seemed as though they could've done more so that the animals would be more comfortable in the heat! The day ended up being miserably uncomfortable for us, as well as the animals. Some were impatiently pacing in their cages. Some were just lying around in the dirt. Two were recovering from surgeries.
All of the animals looked well cared for and some were enjoying some snacks while we were there. Our "walking tour" included a walk around the facility to each animal's habitat and the guide discussing multiple facts about the animals lives and journey to the Reserve. Start to finish, it took about an hour and included a bottled water. I'd recommend strollers for your kids. It's an unsafe place to allow young children to wander around.
The "public" restroom is a port-o-let outside the gated entrance to the reserve. It was just as clean as the ones at a football game/concert! There is no gift shop but they do ask for donations and give you a t-shirt in return.
In movie terms, the reserve is the equivalent of a low-budget film. It's saving grace is the effort to keep these animals alive, but as they all grow, I feel like this "low-budget film will not be able to keep up with the demand! Too few employees for so many demanding large animals.

翻译：在一个夏末的午后，我带着三个孙子孙女来到这里。我们觉得孩子们应该会很喜欢看动物们在自然栖息地里的生活。
虽然工作人员无法控制天气，但他们似乎本可以做得更多，让动物们在炎热的天气里更舒适一些！结果，我们和动物们都度过了非常难熬的一天。有些动物在笼子里焦躁地踱来踱去，有些则懒洋洋地躺在泥土里。还有两只动物正在术后恢复中。
所有的动物看起来都得到了很好的照顾，在我们参观的时候，有些动物还在享用零食。我们的“步行游览”包括绕着整个园区走一圈，参观每个动物的栖息地，导游会讲解动物们的生活习性以及它们来到保护区的历程。整个行程大约持续了一个小时，包含一瓶水。我建议带孩子来，因为这里不太安全，不建议让小孩子到处乱跑。
所谓的“公共”洗手间其实是保护区大门外的一个移动厕所。它干净得跟足球比赛/音乐会现场的厕所一样！这里没有礼品店，但他们会接受捐款，并会回赠一件T恤。
用电影术语来说，这个保护区就像一部低成本电影。它最大的亮点在于努力让这些动物活下去，但随着它们不断长大，我觉得这部“低成本电影”恐怕难以满足需求！这么多体型庞大、需要精心照料的动物，人手实在太少了。
