![5 star google review The Preserve Fredericksburg]()
“I love finding fun and interesting things to do and when they donate to a good cause, even better. We really enjoyed learning more about the Asian Elephants and we enjoyed helping give one of them a bath and see them up close and personal. All the employees were very knowledgable and you could tell they enjoyed their job. We would love to bring our grand kids here when they visit. Thank you for a unique experience with these beautiful animals!”

“I didn't know what to expect, but our visit to The Preserve couldn't have been better. The team there works so well together and seemed very happy to be showing us the elephants; it was clear they love their work and feel fortunate to get to share it. Not surprisingly, we learned about these three beautiful Asian elephants, but what WAS surprising was that we were able to get close enough to touch them, too. Also surprising was that I felt no concern that there was any danger. That's due, in part, to how well the elephants are cared for, but also bc the Preserve crew worked like a well-oiled machine by helping us know exactly what to do and where & how to do it. Guests are made to feel like appreciated elephant-allies, not strangers who know nothing about elephants.”

“We enjoyed both the elephant experience and animal encounter experience! The guides and handlers were SUPER friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and their native habitats. The facility was immaculate and all the animals looked VERY well cared for and healthy. It was a truly memorable and educational experience! I highly recommend visiting if you want a very hands on amazing exotic animal experience. You will not be disappointed. The preserve is amazing!”

“My wife and I visited here last weekend as an early birthday present and it was a wonderful experience. Their elephants live better lives and are happier than some humans I know. The staff were wonderful and you could tell that they loved the animals and their job. 10/10. Would absolutely recommend. We will be coming back!”

"“Amazing” is the first word that comes to mind! The Preserve is doing an excellent job of educating the public about how badly Asian Elephants need our help for their survival. The opportunity to hug, touch, wash and look these beautiful animals in the eye should be on everyone’s bucket list. We took our granddaughters as a birthday gift to them. It will no doubt be an experience that our family will never forget! My daughter in law and I both brought home small canvas paintings that Becky (my favorite elephant) painted. The event was well organized and the staff were all very knowledgeable and kind. You could feel the love that they all have for the elephants. I hope that we have the opportunity to return soon with other family members so that they too can be a part of this unforgettable event."
