Our 10 year old believes donkeys are his spirit animal. When he saw the signs for the Donkey Sanctuary he got super excited. We visited mid-way through our week’s vacation. He wasn’t disappointed. It is a simple rescue, nothing fancy, but Carol was warm and welcoming. Told us the stories of how the donkeys got to their new home, gave us brushes to groom them, we came close to feeding time so we heard the donkeys braying in excitement. The sanctuary is on 35 acres but the area close to the main entrance had approx. 20 donkeys. Full disclosure - massive amounts of donkey poo everywhere 🤣🤣, but shockingly enough, we didn’t smell a thing. Our son left with a t-shirt, a crocheted donkey keychain...and an adopted donkey named Pumpkin, full with adoption certificate!) who Carol said she’ll email updated pics of this summer. The entire experience made our little guys day ♥️.

I visited this sanctuary while on a girls' trip to Antigua. It is nice that such an organization exists to help these donkeys. You can tell the staff here really cares for the donkeys. You are given brushes so you can brush and pet the donkeys. The donkeys were so sweet. Antigua was going through a drought when we visited so the donkeys were thin. They were having to import hay. We got to see the donkeys being fed. They were so excited with the truck with the hay showed up. There is also a gift shop where you can buy items to support the sanctuary. I bought a cute little donkey toy made of yarn. As others have mentioned, the road out to the sanctuary is rough, so take your time driving out there.

Very cool place where they keep and look after donkeys that have been found around the island. This allows the farmers to have an alternative to shooting them when they get into their crop. They also have cats (lots of kittens) and dogs up for adoption. When you get there they hand out some brushes so you can go into the donkey's pen and brush them. They are all really friendly. You can also adopt a donkey for a year for a small fee. The visit is completely free otherwise.

Great work being done here by the team. Visitors can interact with a selection of donkeys, brushing them etc. there is a good range of quality gifts and a well stocked second hand bookstore as well. Great fun stopover and a good way to support this small charity. Accessible wheelchair friendly route round the main entrance enclosure.

Great place homing abused a d neglected Donkey's. Very sad to see some so scared but they are being looked after now. We could wander freely and brush the donkeys. There is the opportunity to sponsor a donkey and make a donation. Facilities there very clean.

Spending summers in Antigua can be hard to find things for kids to do. My sister in law and I took hey kids on an island tour and our first stop wat the donkey sanctuary! This was really cool! The kids enjoyed brushing the donkeys and learning about how they were rescued and how to care for them. The donkeys area extremely cool and love attention, so they will follow you around😋. While we were there two gentlemen were giving the donkeys pedicures and it looks like they were lining up! Really great, it's free to go but I encourage you to donate and adopt a donkey.

Such a cool place. The road in depending on the route you take can be a bit dicey at times if it has just rained but it’s worth the trip!

Loved the experience. Donkeys are so sweet and friendly. Staff is great. Cannot recommend enough!!

We've been here 4 times, each time bringing different friends. Always a wonderful, albeit generally short visit (15 minutes). There is no admission charge - but upon arrival, you are given brush and asked to brush them. The donkeys are docile and even our young grandchildren helped with the brushing. There is a small gift shop / used book store so you can support their rescue efforts with a little bc money too. Great to visit if you are in the area (for Stingray City or Devil's Bridge).

Have a stroll to interact with the donkeys, and learn about the organization's work. It's a great free activity to do with family or kids if you are vacationing in Antigua. It is easy to find by GPS.

Great work is done here to look after these donkeys. They are all very placid and love a good back scratch with a hard brush, which is supplied. There is no entry fee but you can donate, buy a shirt or other products, or sponsor a donkey and get sent regular updates on your donkey. Our son loved it.

They do an amazing job here. They also have some stray dogs you can adopt. If you see the before and after photos, it's a testament to their expertise.

Really wonderful place with kind and caring staff and volunteers. A must-see when you're in Antigua! Sweet donkeys you get to brush if you'd like. Also a cat and dog shelter. The road is rough to get there so we asked our driver to include it on our island tour. You can sponsor a donkey as well, in person and on their website. Don't miss this place!
