Lion Habitat Ranch, Admission Tickets, Prices & Hours, Henderson NV

For visitors who have explored the Las Vegas attractions, you may be familiar with the lions that once lived inside the iconic MGM Grand. What many people may not know is that the owner of the lions, Keith Evans, always transported the big cats from the ranch to the elegant hotel. While the latter facility shut down in 2012, the ranch has since grown in popularity, attracting visitors in their numbers.

Evans, the ranch’s owner, is an animal trainer with almost half a century’s experience in handling the lions. To ensure that the ranch was conducive for the lions, Evans constructed glass enclosures and put up security barriers to protect both the lions and humans.

Home to more than 40 lions, the ranch is a perfect destination to learn more about these wondrous animals. Are you aware that female lions usually do the hunting for the pride, and will often help in caring for newborn calves? Or that these African lions can sleep for up to 20 hours every day?

This insightful tour is an opportunity to watch lions in their natural element, learn what they eat, and even marvel at the cubs that live on the ranch. Depending on when you visit, you may be fascinated to learn that the lions get grooming sessions that involve shampooing the fur and blow-drying the furry creatures.

It is little wonder why they are the ‘mane’ attraction at the ranch. Look out for the hand-feeding sessions too, and keep your eyes peeled for when the lions enjoy some playtime. Visitors can go the extra mile and train with the lions for an additional fee.
