Carolina Tiger Rescue’s popular Twilight Tours run from March through October (Daylight Saving Time) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Tours are for adults only (guests ages 18 years and older). Twilight tours are a more intimate experience to meet CTR’s animals. During these tours, guests are the only visitors in the sanctuary. The work of the day is done, and the guests have the sanctuary all to themselves. Enjoy a quiet evening with the cats, and you might just be lucky enough to be serenaded by the lions! After all, they are still wild animals! As with all their tours, they cannot guarantee what the cats will do, but it’s hard to have a bad evening with the animals.
The 2026 schedule will begin on Sun, Mar 8, and run through Sat, Oct 31. The timeframe provided in this event listing is an estimate – please check your tickets for the exact time slot. Your Twilight Tour will last for about 1 ½ hours. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Trained volunteer tour guides will walk you through the animal sanctuary. You will learn about the various species living at Carolina Tiger Rescue and the challenges they face in the wild, as well as the difficulties they encounter in captivity. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and take photos, but please note that there will be no physical contact with the animals.
Advance tickets are required for attendees (no walk-ins available). Tours are offered from April to October on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, rain or shine. The cost is $32 per person, and a maximum of 25 people may attend each tour. Tickets are available 8 weeks before your visit.
