Wilds tour bus and rhinos

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

With an experience right for everyone, a tour of The Wilds will leave you feeling exhilarated.  Choose one, or schedule a few! The Wilds is located in beautiful rural southeast Ohio. 

Each experience and tour at The Wilds will be unique. As one of the largest conservation centers in the world at 10,000+ acres, you may see different animals in different locations each time as they roam our pastures and wooded lands. Because of that, we cannot guarantee that guests will see every species that call The Wilds home during your tour...but we CAN guarantee memories that will last a lifetime!
