Wild Wonders began 35 years ago in 1991 and is celebrating its 35th anniversary. It is a 5 acre wild animal refuge and wildlife reserve that is the forever home to over 100 animal ambassadors from all over the world, and all of these animal ambassadors came from other educational facilities, were confiscated or owner relinquished illegal pets, or are non-releasable native wildlife, and none have been taken from the wild. Wild Wonders, Inc. is a licensed and insured wildlife education organization with more than 100 animal ambassadors, and all tours and experiences are private, by appointment only, and led by one of their keeper-educators. The staff consists of degreed professionals with extensive experience in educating the public, as well as the handling and training of diverse species. Their goal is to excite the public and foster a desire to preserve and learn about the wildlife and the important role they play in the planet people share, and their motto is “Rescue. Educate. Conserve.”
Wild Wonders is a member of the American Association of Zookeepers and accredited by the Zoological Association of America. Wild Wonders regularly presents programs about wildlife to many groups including schools, hospitals, and other organizations to teach people about animals and conservation, and their travel subsidiary, Wild Ecotours, features small-group tours to destinations around the world and has global conservation partners. Wild Ecotours offers small-group, intimate tours with a naturalist guide and superb accommodations often featuring a private chef.
Visitor testimonials describe the facility as beautifully kept, the animals as clearly loved and well cared for, and the staff as friendly, knowledgeable, and caring, and they highly recommend a visit. Other visitors report that the fennec fox experience included meeting and petting many different animals such as an opossum, legless lizard, tortoise, kinkajou, and groundhog, and that they highly recommend the experience. A visitor also reports a great experience feeding the bearcat and notes that it was their second time doing it and that they would do it again, and that the animals are well taken care of and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Jack Hanna states that Wild Wonders Inc. regularly presents programs about wildlife to many groups including schools, hospitals, and other organizations to teach people about animals and conservation, and that they have a unique ability to communicate to and inspire those who take part in their programs.
