Few destinations can offer your group the blend of adventure and comfort that a visit to the Wilds provides. The Wilds' staff is ready to assist with all parts of your stay to help ensure an enjoyable visit.
Our staff specializes in creating itineraries tailored to fit your group's needs. From a couple of hours to a full day, from lunch for 20 to a hot buffet for 100, we can help you design an exciting outing. We can also provide assistance in adding visits to other area destinations or obtaining overnight lodging in the area.
Groups are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Call early to get your desired date. All groups must schedule at least 5 working days in advance of their visit. Please allow a minimum of 2 1/2 hours for your experience at the Wilds.
