We visited The Wilds based on recommendations from a couple friends. We were not disappointed. There were numerous different options for touring the grounds and we chose the Open Air Safari which is basically a school bus with the top half of the body removed. However, there is a roof to shield passengers from the sun. The tour lasted approximately... More

Everything is great about the place. We have a real life safari in our hills of Ohio. You will have a driver guide that explains all of the animals. We even had a camel rub up against our bus. Now I hear they are going to have zip lines and horse back rides. More

My husband and myself visited The Wilds 5/8/12 with another couple, friends of ours. We have to say, it is stretching our minds trying to remember having such a great time elsewhere. Our tour guide, Dani was so fun and knowledgeable. This park is AMAZING to put it mildly. The animals enclosures are so large that many times you don't... More

Very enjoyable tour at The Wilds. The Safari Transport Pass gets you a 2+ hr guided tour of the pasture area and up close to many exotic and endangered animals. This tour is on a climate controlled enclosed bus. If you opt for the Open Air Safari tour, dress to get a little dirty - dusty roads and an open... More

this is a great safari zoo with a lot of animals and great team of biologist and zoologist. With horse back tour, zip lines tours, sunset tours, summer camps and overnight stays a little bit of everything for everybody. More

Most of the animals too far away to see from the truck. My children lost interest quickly. Tour guide informative and friendly, but couldn't make up for the lack of wildlife. Bummer.... More

We visited The Wilds last summer with my 3 year old daughter. She loved getting up close to the animals. It was very hot outside so the air conditioned bus was a plus as well! More

Again, I think they need to get the word out about the Wilds more because it is a beautiful place to view animals in their natural habitat and they will walk right up to your bus~that's cool! More

It's really great to learn about all of the animal conservation efforts that they are doing here. We took the sunset tour and I highly recommend it for photographers. Most the animals are out because it's time to eat, there aren't any crowds, and the animals come right up to the open air truck. The tour ends with a nice,... More
