I hadn't visited Lindsay since I was a child until a couple years ago. This is an amazing sanctuary! Since that return visit, my organization had our holiday party there and this past Friday I had a blast at an evening 21+ fundraiser. So much fun! If you think this is an odd choice for a party or event venue, think again! It was incredible, they can provide tables and chairs and even offer a private education experience with some of their critters for your group. Highly recommend taking a few hours to explore, whatever your age!
