Wilderness Trails Zoo

Wilderness Trails Zoo Wilderness Trails Zoo is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Come visit us and take a stroll through our shaded paths and see our resident animals!

Our expert staff is always available to help you enjoy your time and make it both educational and memorable! Wilderness Trails Zoo opened in 1991. Our trails take visitors through 56 acres of natural surroundings to see exotic animals such as primates, zebras, lions, reptiles, and parrots. There is a petting area and parakeet encounter for an up close and personal adventure with our animals. Guest

s can also imagine life as a bird-eating spider or a red-tailed boa constrictor in our “Rainforest Experience.” There are also feed stations throughout the zoo to feed animals such as goats and fish. After feeding the animals around the zoo, your family can relax and enjoy your lunch in our “Picnic Pavilion.” If the kids still have energy after their zoo adventure, they can pretend to be monkeys and swing and hang on the playground equipment.

Happy international day of Persons with Disabilities!
Here at Wilderness Trails, we are committed to being inclusive and celebrating people as they are. We have some wonderful updates in the works for this coming year. As a ♿️wheelchair user myself, it’s a very personal mission for us here at WTZ to make every experience memorable in the best possible way.
We can’t wait to continue updating our trails, exhibits and facilities to help us achieve our goal of total inclusion! Thank you all for being part of this journey 💙

Have you spotted one of our new animal residents here at the zoo?✨

Badgers!

They happen to primarily be nocturnal, meaning they are mostly active at night time. If you happen to be driving through our ongoing holiday light display, make sure to stop and see these guys! They’re always scurrying around their new enclosure.
