Wildwood Park & Zoo
Established in 1937, Wildwood has grown to become one of the state’s premier parks and leading municipal zoos. Journey more than 340 acres by foot or tour the large animal drive in your car. The zoo features rare twin Kodiak bears Munsey & Boda. Check out the newly expanded Cougar Exhibit and Welcome Center; see wolves, lynx, bald eagles, buffalo and many more animals! The park has miles of trails and is a favorite spot for hikers, runners and bikers. Accessible bathrooms are available and families and groups are welcome. Parking is free.
The zoo also features Sensory Gardens designed to encourage the visitor to experience the senses of sight, sound, smell, and touch in a unique and tranquil setting. Walking and bike trails provide another option for enjoying the zoo and surrounding park area. Accessible bathrooms are available at the Welcome Center and families and groups are welcome. Parking is free.
Each winter, from the day after Thanksgiving until December 31st, the park is magically transformed into "Rotary Winter Wonderland" with over 2 million lights, animated walk and drive-through displays, Santa's Village, Nativity scenes, holiday music, and much more!
