About Panther Ridge Conservation Center

Panther Ridge Conservation Center in Loxahatchee Groves is a nonprofit home to over 26 endangered exotic cats representing ten different species, including cheetahs, jaguars, leopards, clouded leopards, lynx, panthers, ocelots, servals, fishing cats, and caracals. Visitors meet the cats on guided tours that range from standard introductions to behind-the-scenes experiences with the head keeper. The Big Cat Experience and Small Cat Experience allow guests to help with cleaning, diet preparation, and enrichment activities while learning about individual animals and their species. The Cheetah Walk tour offers the chance to walk one of the ambassador cheetahs around the grounds. Twilight Hours tours, available on select Saturdays during autumn and winter months, let visitors observe the cats when most active after sunset, with food and drinks included and a gift shop on-site. Tours are intimate and focus on each animal's story and conservation status in the wild. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
