We had an amazing time at The Wilds! Our family had reservations for the 11:00 open air tour. We arrived at the Wilds 30 minutes early and parked. you then take a shuttle to the main area and we left for our tour promptly. We were able to see lots of animals and it was fun being in an open... More

Our timing was bad, horse back tour was the prime reason we went, and they were not available. The weather was a little too chilly for the giraffes, so they were not available, either. The zip line was fabulous, i've zipped before and found this one to be superior on all measures. Was just my daughter and myself, so NO... More

Every staff member that we met were friendly & seemed excited to be there. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. Seeing the bisons up close was great. The 2.5 hr tour was long enough. After about 2 hours, u were getting tired on the bus. My whole family enjoyed themselves.

Our guide was Phil and he was knowledgeable, pleasant and entertaining. We took the open-air tour that lasted about 2.5 hours. It was a cooler morning, we were on the 10:30 tour. The animals were out and that was fun. Plenty of photo ops were available. The open air-tour runs $30, but there are some coupons to be found, if... More

A 65-70 degree day with light overcast brings out the animals. What a fun trip. Our guide Sarah was entertaining, informational and an all around joy. The animals came close to the open air vehicle which runs $30 a person for 2.5 hours. Make sure to try a burger at the snack stand in the carnivore center. We will be... More

It's more of a wild animal park where you can view endangered animals on an open range, through several different types of tour excursions. We went on an enclosed safari tour, which was in an air conditioned bus. Our tour guide, Denny, was... More

We booked a yurt for our first trip to The Wilds to make a weekend out of it. The cost is a bit high but included dinner, breakfast the next morning and a tour. I felt the cost was worth all we got out of it. The yurt itself was lovely, nicely decorated and had both heat and AC. It... More

The Wilds is a unique "zoo" that is owned by the Columbus Zoo and that provides a safe haven for nearly extinct animal species. The animals are housed in various areas over a 10,000 acre facility that provides plenty of opportunity to see them in a fairly natural habitat (I mean, Ohio is neither the desert nor mountainous, but still)...
