Wilderness Walk Zoo & Western Town

This family-friendly zoo offers a surprisingly expansive property with hands-on animal experiences at wallet-friendly prices. Visitors consistently praise the variety of animals available for feeding, from guinea pigs and rabbits to deer, goats, and even a camel that impresses with its size up close. The layout includes both close-up encounters near the entrance and a longer walking path that winds deeper into the property where animals roam in more natural settings. Many reviewers appreciate the clear labeling showing which foods are appropriate for different animals, and families report kids of all ages finding something to enjoy, including an unexpected mine town attraction. There are some concerns worth noting about animal welfare and enclosure sizes. A few visitors felt uncomfortable seeing larger wild animals like bears, wolves, and big cats in spaces they considered too small, observing what they interpreted as anxious behaviors. These critiques contrast with other reviews mentioning that animals appeared lively and well-cared for, suggesting experiences may vary. Practical note: double-check current hours before visiting, as at least one family found conflicting information between the website, signage, and actual opening times. Despite needing some updates according to several guests, most visitors leave satisfied with the overall experience.
