Wonderful place to bring the kids the ride on the bus is a little bumpy so if you have back problems or a little older I wouldn't suggest this for you or if your child the special needs and can't stand a lot of jarring this definitely is not for them but other than that I had lots of fun I came as a...

I love this place! Often the animals are too far away from the bus to see very well, but you see different stuff every time you go and the guides are terrific. It's a long drive down narrow roads to get there, but you do get that safari feel.

It is so absolutely beautiful here. Our visit brought us to another land entirely, despite the map s insistence that we were still in Ohio. Tour guides are knowledgeable and fun, and there are a lot of animals. We didn t get as close to them as I would have liked, on the bus tour, but there are othe...

Very beautiful place! None of the animals have low energy like the zoo. You can tell they really enjoy there habitat, and they're just as curious about you as you are of them. It was very fun and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. The views are breathtaking. Love it, I will always recommend thi...

This was my first open air safari ride experience. The staff were very friendly and seemed to enjoy what they do. Our guide was extremely informative and upbeat. This was very refreshing seeing animals in an environment more natural as compared to a typical zoo setting. We are glad we visited The W...

Our family went to the Wilds for the first time on July 4th for the Zipline Safari tour. It was hot but AMAZING!!!! Jake and Sophia were our guides and did a great job. Jake is one of the best zipline guides we have ever encountered. He is highly knowledgeable about ziplining and about the Wilds an...

We love this place. We go several times a year since we buy the membership. It can get a little pricey otherwise but it's completely worth the experience to do it at least once. The views are amazing and the animal experiences are different every time you go.

Recently visited, and went on the open bus Safari. Fortunately there was a Groupon discount of $10 per person which soften the $30 per person cost. In total the tour was a little over two hours which can be broken down to two stops along the way that they give you a whopping 15 minutes to explore at...

It's a great place to come and relax! Our driver Cassy was fun, full of laughter and made our tour eventful! The little ones have a lot to do to keep them busy while waiting on the next tour bus to come. All the staff was friendly! Cassy won me over!

The Wilds is an amazing place to visit if you are an animal lover. Almost all of the animals that live there are endangered, and you get to see them not in cages, but in open pastures. You will quickly forget that you are in Ohio, and feel like you are on safari in Africa. We stayed overnight in o...

We stayed at the yurts for my friend's mini-bachelorette and had a wonderful time. Lois was so nice, and the food was amazing. We LOVED how nice the yurt and bathroom were, and despite it being a heat wave, we were super comfortable in the basic yurt with the portable AC. I had to schedule a Wildsid...

We did the open air safari and had a blast! It was a 2 1/2 hour tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. It was so nice to see and learn about the animals while they were roaming around instead of being in cages. The road on the tour is pretty bumpy so be prepared but the overall experien...

My family had a great time here. It was definitely worth the money. I was a bit worried when we had an older gentleman as our driver and tour guide, but he ended up being the best one for sure. They're all very knowledgeable and take time to answer all your questions. Very safe as well. It's so cool...

I have been to The Wilds 3 times (last year) and I will be going for my 4th time this coming week. My 4 year old is completely obsessed with animals so we decided to give The Wilds a try last year. We thought for the price of the Open Air Safari (the ONLY way to go in my opinion!!) $30 per person we...

Wow! Where do I begin? The place is amazing! It is a must see on a visit to central Ohio. The staff is great and the tour was amazing. The only draw back is cell service can be spotty otherwise this was an amazing experience!

We had an amazing time here. The bus ride was bumpy. The driver is also a tour guide and ours did a wonderful job of telling us about the animals. It can be very sunny on the ride. The bus would stop to get good views of the animals, all animals on the ride part are herbivores. There is a carnivore ...
