The Wilds is known for its rare wildlife, stunning pastures, and important contributions to conservation, and now we can add “#2 Best Safari Park in North America” to the list!
Thanks to our supporters like you, The Wilds was recently recognized with this distinction by the 2022 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice awards!
We are proud to offer a wonderful destination that combines a stunning travel destination and cutting-edge conservation center all into one. From unique tours that provide our guests with the opportunity to experience rare and exotic wildlife up close, to memorable overnight experiences, engaging educational programming, and conservation initiatives benefiting wildlife locally and globally, this work would not be possible without the support of our devoted fans. Thanks to everyone’s votes and awareness that continues to be raised for The Wilds, our impacts are being recognized on a larger scale!
To be considered for this recognition, a panel of travel experts, recruited by USA TODAY editors, nominated 20 facilities per contest category. After 4 weeks of online public voting, the winners were officially announced. We are honored and humbled to have achieved second place on such a strong list of contenders consisting of our zoological peers and colleagues.
We appreciate everyone’s continued support. From your visits, generous donations, and information your share with friends and family, please know that we appreciate all you do to help us fulfill our mission to lead and inspire by connecting people and wildlife.
