A TOUR FOR NATURE LOVERS!

When you visit The Wilds, you most likely say, "WOW!" when you see the rolling pastures and prairies. Not just because of the endangered animals roaming them, but because of the incredible backdrop that nature growing on a once-stripped mined provides. 

This tour takes you behind the scenes with our Ecology team. You'll learn about: 

  • American Burying Beetles by visiting their cozy breeding center
  • Eastern Hellbenders in our brand new conservation center
  • Get a first look at a newly-restored wildlife habitat at The Wilds
