Founded in 2017, the Lovely Babies' Kingdergarten is dedicated to rescuing and nurturing young animals abandoned by their parents within the park. This "kindergarten" offers visitors, especially children, a chance to observe these baby animals up close and learn about wildlife. Currently, over 20 young animals reside there. Once they mature, they are moved to other areas of the park. Since its establishment, this special kindergarten has cared for and more than 200 baby animals.
