It's the Wildest Winter Experience in Ohio!

Chilly temperatures? No problem. Bundle up and take an indoor tour of our animal barns at The Wilds! 

  • Feed our giraffes inside their cozy, warm (super tall) barn.
  • Tour our state-of-the-art indoor rhino barns, where you'll learn about both species of rhinos living at The Wilds, and get a chance to pet them and feed them their favorite snacks, too! (However, we do let the animals choose what they want to participate in.)
  • If the weather cooperates, you'll take a mini safari to see other animals that call The Wilds home.
