Are you searching for a completely new way to spend an afternoon with your family in West Palm Beach on your next Florida vacation? Disband the search party, the search is over. McCarthy’s Wildlife Sanctuary in West Palm Beach is sure to entice the entire family.
If you’re tired of the same old zoo experience of barely being able to see animals in small enclosures, McCarthy Wildlife Sanctuary is right up your alley.
McCarthy Wildlife Sanctuary is located at 12943 61st St. North, West Palm Beach, FL 33412. This great spot for family fun can be easily accessed in your West Palm Beach rental van from Carl’s Van Rentals.
McCarthy is not a zoo, rather a non-profit wildlife sanctuary. The animal residents in this lush, fiv- acre facility are donations from other facilities or have been accrued from neglectful/unlawful owners. McCarthy runs on donations from the public and in return educates and excites visitors with tours and wildlife programs.
