Reviews of Aylmer Wildlife Management Area (Zoo)

Beautiful place to watch wild birds and study their behavior.

Greg Tilford

Seen very few birds on January 7, 2020

Herbert Hildebrandt

A great place to view the unique Tundra Swan migration every late winter/ early spring. Excellent viewing stands and feeding crews make it a memorable place to take your children

Family Reunion had me touring relatives here, from Tillsonburg. The swans are always exciting to see. Noisy too! The local club members are Wonderful hosts. Sharing their binoculars and pointing our rare birds than come to this Aylmer Sanctuary. Free! Drive in. There are Steps up to an inside observation deck. Stay as long as you like. I go every Spring! Creation is our Creator's Gift. Enjoy it!

Danny Zhao

Visited on past Sunday. There are many swan already but the view is so so for pictures as the pond is not big. Maybe there will be more swan in the coming weeks.

Dave Forbes

Great place to spend an hour watching the swans.

james mitchell

Wonderful place to visit for a quiet and relaxing afternoon.

Poirier girls

Such a great spot to view the swans from different vantage points that is safe for them & for us. Swans are such a beautiful bird, love seeing them interact with each other. Glad there is this space provided for them to rest & eat for a few days

Great area here. One of the few places left that isn't commercialized. Hope it stays this way.

Well kept, nice parking lot. We came at a good time to see quite a few tundra swans. A recommended place for a day trip stop in the countryside.

Only there once and was overwhelmed. Lots of birds flicking in & out. Good covered viewing structures to stand in That’s it.

Nicely set up, lots of bird species and viewing stations. Could have a better outhouse with a lock but a great place to view flying creatures.

Kyle X

Cool space for bird watching, or hiking.

Vera Needham

Love this place. There are two bald eagles that you can often see in the higher trees and the firefly's were magical.

Jacob Daniel

Neat to learn about tundra swans and see a bunch

Mandy Bennett

Beautiful serene area albeit rather flat. Perhaps it's the bleakness of March... There were several hundreds of Swans that graced the marshy waters. It was really helpful how the signage and fencing explained how certain behaviors, like getting too close, could stress the Swans. I did not know that and was very appreciate. Well done, Alymer!

matthew gunton

Lonely place in the winter.. a hawk was all to be seen.. weather was very cold when I went.

The tundra swans were remarkable - grounds and parking area well maintained.

Sad to see so little water up front for the swans...a mess. Loss of trees may have scared the baldys away?

Dylan Ross

Great spot! There are indoor viewing areas so you can watch the birds while keeping warm

amblt1

Nice but toilets not well maintained.

Paul Eicher

Good place to watch wildlife, bird feeders and houses as well as sheltered viewing areas

Jim Bayler

Incredible up close viewing of tundra swans. The birds are there in big numbers, maybe 300 or so today. They say its the most up close viewing area for Tundra Swans in the world! The observation towers allow viewing of swans from as close as 30 metres (estimated). Definitely worth the drive to Aylmer for any nature lover.

Ryan Gill

One of the best local places around for viewing birds in their natural migration. Common types of birds to see are tundra swans, trumpeter swans, and Canadian geese. Was unexpected and very surprised to see two sandhill cranes as well. Definitely worth going, and even more worthy of a small donation to keep it running.

Cody Swick

Could be cleaned up a bit, but still a great place for a walk. And nice view points

Elizabeth Reeves

Good viewing platforms. Migrating tundra swans were there in droves when we were there

Not a place to go this time of year but we met a gentleman who was very knowledgeable. March is when the swans come and there's eagle's that come here year round. I enjoyed it.

Susan Smith

Great place

Brian McLeod

Great place to go for afternoon adventure

Gabriella Miller

jill bezaire

Went to see a part of the tundra swan migration. Not as many as in previous years( about 800) but still great. Two viewing areas, on covered. No wheelchair access that I could see, perhaps in another part of the park.

Mary Ann Miller

One of the places around to see the tundra swans when they migrate
