Elephant Sanctuary
Who would have thought that in a small city like Gainesville, we would have an elephant sanctuary! Well, it's not actually in Gville, it's in Williston.
Two Tails Ranch was founded in 1984 by Theodore Svertesky, and Patricia Zerbini joined his adventure a year later. The ranch started with 10 acres 1 barn and 1 yard and has grown to have 67 acres, 3 main Barns, 9 yards, and much more! Elephants are at the ranch for all different reasons; some are retired from shows, temporary boarding, and some for training or medical reasons. Not only can you play with elephants but they have other exotic animals that include Grant Zebras Tortoises, an Ostrich, Emu, Cockatoo, and Parrots!
In 2009, Patricia decided to open the ranch to the public to have educational programs available for both elephant lovers as well as professionals in the elephant field. She felt the need to have a facility where people could get up close and personal and get a first-hand experience with these exotic creatures.
The admission fee is $20 for adults and $10 for kids, it's definitely worth the experience. I have so many awesome photos and great memories!
