The Wilds

  The Wilds is a conservation center for endangered animals. The animals live in family groups with an enormous amount of space to roam but, most likely because of feeding practices, they hang out close to the roads so viewing is great. Two hour guided tours are given by shuttle bus. A much more expensive tour is conducted with a pickup truck that has seats for six people and includes feed for the animals.

  The shuttle tours are either enclosed and open air. Both have seating spaces for two wheelchairs. It’s best to make arrangements in advance. The pickup tours are not accessible. If you can not board a standard bus you’ll be directed to park in the upper lot where the shuttle buses load, rather than the main parking lot. The gift shop is accessible. The buses have tie downs that are old and should be replaced but they do the job. The shuttle stops for unloading at the Lake Trail and the Carnivore Center. The Lake Trail is not accessible so we didn’t get off the bus at that stop but the Carnivore Center trails are paved or boardwalk and are  accessible.
 

  The parking lots are large enough for RVs.  Wilds
