wilson's wild animal park

I happened to see this and it reminded me when my family went here. It was bad news as the birds all were treated badly. The feathers on most of them were plucked which means the are in distress. Park very unkept and just sad to see wildlife treated this way.

Went to visit them and see what all they had. They were in the process of cleaning/remodeling. Did not get to see many of the animals. Great place to bring your kids/grandkids. A fun place for all.

We enjoyed this zoo the animals you could feed are fun the goats are a blast to feed and watch. Its not a giant federally funded zoo with all the bells and whistles it seems to be a family owned farm trying to help animals it could use some tlc but we enjoyed it. wish there were some signs on the highway to find it easier make sure you buy extra bags of feed the animals love to eat.

This place and the animals that unfortunately live their are in such deplorable conditions that there are no words to describe this place. It is so easy to see that this situation is not a good one, which may be more difficult for those that just do not know the signs to see. These enclosures are entirely too small, several of the animals have skin conditions and missing fur, either from pests or stress, or a combination of both, and adequate stimulation is not being provided to these animals. Take a look at the run down enclosure the two Himalayan bears are living in. Or the poor arctic fox, or the tigers. How would you like to sit in those pens all day with nothing to do but look at others walking by looking at you while being exploited so others can make a profit? The owners are not there to educate the public or "preserve" the species as some may say. If so, then they would be considered a non-profit organization. But they're not. Please take a look at the bigger picture, and realize that these animals are living a life of hell, and honestly, if I were them, I would prefer to not even be here on this earth if that is what I had to look forward to everyday. Continuing to visit roadside zoos like this only supports their actions and puts money in their pockets while these animals are living a life of suffering.

Visiting Wilson's Wildlife Park was one of the most depressing experiences of my life. Visit if you want to see:*A listless and emaciated lone arctic fox lying motionless on concrete *Two of the world's rarest animals (bengal tigers) pacing neurotically back and forth in a tiny run (again, no shade)*piles of dirt, tools, electrical wire, and ugly statues*A rusty metal and concrete kennel the size of a living room containing TWO bears surrounded by weeds. To escape the sun, they can go into a tiny feces filled room*Grimy, algae-covered bowls *A coati miserably scratching at his skin, which is becoming more exposed through this patchy and filthy fur. (His friend sits atop a ledge by a pile of his own feces.*Ugly over-grown ditches*And more!*Zero supervision from staff. They don't even give you a ticket.It makes me sad that this could happen in America.

I wish there were positive things to say about this place, but watching animals cramped inside small cages is not enjoyable. There were too many birds inside a small cage and didn't allow them to fly, the camels were far too skinny, and the lions needed more space. We didn't go much past those exhibits. I will say that the pygmy goats were fun to watch. Had we gone further on, maybe things would've gotten better, but as an animal lover it was hard to see them in such tight quarters.

We have visited several times. It is very entertaining for the kids. The best time to go is in the fall when they have a pumpkin patch and hay rides. The owners are very friendly as well.

This is not one of those "bells and whistles" kind of parks. This is a great place to take your family if you want to have them feed the animals (Llama and goats mostly) and get fairly close to a decent variety of animals. This is a privately owned park and they open to their home to misplaced animals. You can buy a bag of feed for under $2 and as you walk around the gravel walk way, you can stop and feed the animals. Being privately owned, the upkeep is not at it's best and could really use some sprucing in order to be able to really get a better view of some of the animals but; it is still worth going, especially for young children. They have bears, lions, camels, pigs, deer, and a variety of birds among other animals. There is a area to sit and eat lunch if you desire as well as facilities to freshen up before heading back out. The only recommendation I would make is to go earlier in the day when it's cooler and you will be able to see more animals. For less than $8, it's worth the venture.
