Wonderful day at the Wilds! Everyone there was so nice.

Tom Proulx

Great experience and worth the drive from wherever you are. The open air safari is a great two hour tour. Carter was our guide and he was great!

The best place ever!!

Lydia Crowl

What an absolute pleasure to be able to experience the beauty that The Wilds is. So many amazing animals with so much space to roam. Will be going back again soon!

BEST. DAY. EVER. !!! I can't say enough about how amazing and worthwhile this was! I pet a rhino! Like seriously, it's worth every penny and I will definitely be going back! Chris was the best guide! I never even heard of a Takin before I went there, they are so cute! Getting this close to rhinos, giraffe, ostrich, zebra, etc. without going to Africa was amazing! Best birthday ever!!

Just visited as a late anniversary getaway for my wife and I and it was absolutely amazing! We did the wildside tour and it's totally worth spending the extra to go off-road and very up close and personal with the animals. Sarah the tour guide was incredible as she was so knowledgeable and made the experience extremely fun. A special shout-out to another tour guide Kelsey as she had to deal with a miserable human being and she stayed nice and professional. There's so many animals that you can get up close to. We were super close to the ostriches, giraffes, and rhinos and got to feed the giraffes and rhinos. Hopefully they can continue to expand and add more animals to make the experience even better but even still it's an amazing experience and would highly recommend.

The Wildside Tour got us up close with the animals! Being that some animals had already been moved inside for winter, this tour granted us access to the barns to meet the animals.

The weather was perfect and our wildside tour took us right up to many of the animals. Our tour guide was very informative. Highly recommend this experience.

Drove 4.5 hours from Louisville, KY and it was worth the drive and the money!!! Absolutely amazing! Pictures speak for themselves. Chris was our tour guide and he was Fantastic! Chris created the Wild side Tour 13 years ago so he had great answers to all our 101 questions. We learned about The Wilds on Disney Plus from the show Secrets of the Zoo and wanted to surprise our daughter with a trip there. She loved every minute!

Great place and friendly people. Also this is Military friendly. Military tickets are free and they host veteran events during the summer.

Owned by the colombus zoo, this place is a great place for camping, fishing, zipline tours, off road 4x4 tours, bus tours, and seeing dangerous animals.

The open air safaris are awesome. Our drive Don was great and you get a close view of the animals, some of which are extinct in the wild.

What a great time! The tour was amazing thanks to Korah-her commentary on the animals, property, and history of The Wilds added some fun information for us to better experience the tour! It was awesome to get a little closer look into wildlife in their open habitat than zoos allow

Paul May

What a great day! Lots of cool animals roaming about, Baby freaking Rhinos! And Rosie was an excellent fun tour guide! Totally worth the drive!

I was going through some photo's from June of 2018. Our visit here will always be one of our favorites. I took this photo "From the Eye of a Giraffe" from about 8 to 10 feet away. The open air tour was amazing and our guide was very informative. The actual photo was of the entire head, this is just a segment of that photo.

Wonderful

Amber Li

Best zoo experience of my life. Largest wild conservation in North America and the staff do very noble work there. Do the $125 Wildside tour, which goes off road and is well worth the money.

Bill Fennell

Excellent experience. Great for kids and adults alike.

Richard Tyk

Great place

Claudia McCarron

Such an amazing experience to see wild animals in Ohio

K Lego

What a great adventure/experience! Everything is very well organized. Chris our guide was awesome, fun and full of knowledge.

Mary Weese

My son enjoyed it and loved feeding the birds. I found it hilarious when the camel stopped at and angle and wouldn't let us by until a truck that had food came around then it took off after that truck. Already planning another trip in the warmer months.

Spectacular

WARNING DOES NOT ACCEPT SAME DAY TICKETS MUST BE ADVANCED - Current zoo members for many years, wanted to take family to visit the Wilds had a random day available and kids were able to be out of school due to the nature of the educational trip. Went to website & website showed available tours, called in to book an available tour as it says on their website same day visits you must call. Was told sorry we don't accept same day visitors, which is ludicrous and I should just go visit the zoo. Nice suggestion, my suggestion is to be more like the Columbus Zoo & allow guests to come anytime, especially when you HAVE available spots on your tours. PERHAPS PUT THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING SAME DAY TICKETS PLEASE CALL. Complete WASTE of time. DO WHAT WE'RE doing, heading to Port Clinton, Ohio to see African Safari & we will consider cancelling our zoo membership after this. Sad situation when your money is turned away due to laziness.

I can’t believe I was in Ohio! The tours were fun and informative. The grand yurt was beyond glamping and the food was really good! A delightful overnight getaway!

Love it... wish we had more time there.
