## About

The Lion Habitat Ranch, located south of Henderson, is a non-profit wildlife sanctuary that has long protected the lineage of MGM's iconic lions. Family visitors may observe African lion prides up close from behind safety barriers, witnessing their daily routines and interactions. They can also listen to keepers explain the history of lion rescue and conservation efforts, and watch scheduled feeding interactions with giraffes and giant tortoises. The ranch's internal pathways are wide, flat, and hardened to be dust-free, making them easily navigable for all-terrain strollers and lightweight folding buggies. The gift and reception center offers clean, accessible restrooms and baby changing stations. Shaded picnic tables with canopies are available throughout the park, suitable for families to rest and eat during their visit.
