Ohio Vacations

The Wilds!

The Wilds is a private, non-profit conservation center located on nearly 10,000 acres of reclaimed mine land in rural southeastern Ohio. It was created as the conservation center of the future by a group of civic leaders, political leaders and zoo professionals who believed that a serious scientific approach was required to find solutions to environmental concerns.
From its inception, the Wilds has been envisioned as a facility that combines cutting-edge conservation science and education programs with unique visitor opportunities.

This is a great way for your family to experience animals that you can't find in your backyard in a more natural habitat than a zoo. It allows for greater interaction with the animals and is an experience that your family will remember. It is a great way for your children to feel like they are on another continent without ever leaving the state! Consider this among your Ohio vacation plans this summer.
