Family Event

The Wilds is a sprawling open-air zoo in Columbus where families can observe hundreds of animals from around the world in naturalistic habitats. Visitors typically explore by vehicle or on foot, getting up close to giraffes, zebras, bears, big cats, and countless other species. It's a relaxed, educational outing where kids can learn about wildlife and conservation while enjoying the outdoors. Bring sunscreen, water, and comfortable shoes—there's plenty to see, and the pace is entirely yours.
