Thousands of people visit IEAS for guided tours each year; we have been repeatedly acknowledged by the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex media as one of the best kept secrets!
IEAS’s current mission is the care and welfare of its animal inhabitants, as well as educating the public about their needs. The inhabitants include bobcats, cougars, jaguars, leopards, lions, tigers, and bears among other species. As of March 2010, 58 felines and 13 bears call IEAS home, with spacious habitats, pools and houses. The employees and volunteers who care for the animals give of their time and talents to ensure the quality of life to which they are entitled.
There are regularly scheduled tours each weekend and we offer weekday tours almost everyday Monday through Friday at 11am as well. Weekday tours can be reserved by calling the IEAS office.
Children under 7 are not permitted on Sanctuary tours.
