I've been to some of the best amusement parks in the world. Cedar point, kings Island, Disney Land,…read moremagic mountain in LA. But this place just hits different! When your at a place like this the history makes it so amazing. The rides might not be the best in the world but there's just something about it that makes you feel like a kid again. I would recommend anyone to take a weekend trip here. You won't be disappointed! My family spent 10 hours here and I can't imagine anybody leaving a bad review about this place.

I remember when I was planning my first trip to Huntington, and I was perusing Pinterest for fun…read morethings to do in this small city. I kept seeing photos of this super vintage amusement park that had an intriguing vibe to it. So a few of my friends and I hopped on over here to see what West Virginia's only amusement park was all about. To give a brief introduction of this place, Camden Park was built in 1903... Yeah, it's about 120 years old!! It was created as a trolley park, an attraction meant for those coming off of trolley lines, and is one of 13 that are still around in the United States. So if you haven't already noticed, this park is RICH in history! While walking around and checking everything out, you can definitely tell that this place is old... Some in good ways, and some not so good. The decor, signs and pretty much just about everything made me feel like I had been transported back into the 1950's. I actually found this pretty cool, as it made this historic park keep its vintage feel. But in some places, it felt like I was in an apocalypse. Some areas of the park were empty, covered with trees and felt eerie. Speaking of which, this park was featured as a location in a video game, Fallout 76, which essentially has to do with an apocalypse after a war.... crazy!! It's important to know that visiting here is nothing even close to going to a Six Flags or Disneyland. The rides are very similar to ones you'll find at state or county fairs. We came at the beginning of the summer on a Saturday. $20 for an adult, which seemed like a good deal for how many different rides there are here. Just like the park, the rides themselves are also old and outdated. I still remember watching the planks holding up the roller coaster jiggle as the trains would go by. There were little to no safety checks by employees, so riding some of these rides were a bit nerve-racking. And going back to the reviews about it being more for kids, well, yeah that is pretty much right. But there were a lot of gentle rides that we enjoyed, too! There are a couple 'big kid' attractions, but most are fairly tame. I want to conclude this by stating that I cannot compare this park to the average American one. It's too unique in its own way and has literally been around for over a century, which is one of its coolest qualities. Unfortunately, its age does show and it shows pretty bad. I feel like if this park ever got some revamping, it could become a lot more interesting to check out. While I wouldn't come here for a day of thrills or adrenaline, it would much rather be because of its old past... kind of like walking around the ruins of an ancient park. I probably would not have a desire to come back, but it was neat to check out at least once.

The owner and employees will go out of their way to harass everyone who comments or reacts to these posts on people's personal social media accounts. They went as far as searching for the people because their business wasn't tagged and they're not friends with any of them. The owner went as far as private messaging anyone who even reacted to the post. Very unprofessional! Also, the claims that were made about a special needs adult as the business refers to him, seem farfetched to me as any video and pictures I ever see posted from parties at this place, there are plenty of grown adults on their inflatables. I've witnessed it myself, in person, as well. Just seems to me they wanted to justify not letting a special needs child on their equipment. Very rude and unprofessional actions!

There are boulders to climb, outdoor musical instruments to play, a treehouse to play pretend in (and is wheelchair accessible!), a merry-go-round, swings, a traditional playground structure with slides, and lots more. The playground area is lined with wood chips. There is also lots of space to run around, and lots of trees. Like the name of the park suggests, this is a very sensory-friendly park, and there are nature stations set up all around where you can use your senses to explore. There is also a short, paved trail that goes around the park, which is wide and smooth enough for strollers and wheelchairs. The trail goes by a creek, which is nice. As of right now, this is the only sensory-friendly park in the state of Ohio! It's definitely worth a visit.

This is a really neat and wonderfully inclusive park. This features a short, paved path that is…read morewheelchair and walker accessible. Along the path are a variety of interactive stations that are also designed to be accessible. If you start near the entry sign, you'll find a Little Free Library, which, on our recent visit, was loaded with a lot of great kids options. Just ahead is a variety of benches and a little music garden, featuring musical instruments that can be played, and you can also interact with the Rough Bark Tactile Display to learn more about different tree barks. A little further down are the cutest animal looking instruments that can also be used. As you continue down the path, you find a swingset with a variety of swings that include both traditional and accessible options. There's a nice little shaded bench area with information about the creek, Fetter's Run, that can be seen from the location. As you proceed along, a very exciting find is the Treehouse, which is built within the forest trees as opposed to up in one, which allows a wheelchair ramp to make it accessible. This overlooks the creek and has things to explore, like neat nature art and a second floor (not accessible) with a fire pole. At the end of the path is a shelter house with picnic tables and nearby grills. Most, if not all, of the signage included Braille translations, as well. There is a large parking lot here, but I do note that this is located behind a school, so I'm not sure how that would affect parking for a visit during a school day.

It's obvious to see how much they love their jobs and care about all the animals. We were lucky to have been able to see a venom extraction. It was very interesting and informative, and the seasoned vet performing the extraction was very open and willing to answer questions any of us had. They're doing really great work at the KRZ, with a lovely and passionate staff. I would definitely recommend it!

My sister and I took our little ones here on a rainy day, and they definitely enjoyed themselves. We (unfortunately) went on a day when a HUGE daycare or playgroup was also visiting, so about 15 mins after arriving, this swarm of over 50 adults and kids came in and it just got insane. I overheard another mom say that she's never seen so many people in there, so it reassured me that it's not always like this. This place isn't super fancy, and I did wonder about their sanitation procedures because I didn't see any buckets or bins for toys to go in if a kid had put it in their mouth. My LO being under a year, and my nephew being 18 months, you know everything goes in the mouth. They had a little "plop zone" which is the sacred safe space for babies under 2 to not get trampled. My daughter liked it, and liked chewing every toy, which takes me back to the germs... Butbi tried to let it go. The one thing I truly disliked about this place is that you have to pay to get in, even as an adult. $8 for me to supervise my own kid? Okay... Luckily my daughter was free because she was under 1, but I thought it was kind of ridiculous that adults have to pay for their child and themselves. It would make me think twice about coming here regularly once she's over 12 months because I don't think $16 is worth it. As of right now, all she can do is sit in the little baby plop zone. So if you really need something to do on a rainy day, definitely come here. It's safe and the kids for sure have fun. But if it's not a rainy day or you have a lot of kiddos, weigh out all your options, lol.

It almost feels like stepping into another environment entirely, especially knowing the area is dedicated to wildlife conservation. Our campsite was quiet and well spaced out, which made it easy to enjoy the surroundings without constant noise from nearby groups. At night, the sky was incredibly clear, and the lack of city lights made stargazing surprisingly good. Facilities were simple but adequate, which fits the outdoor-focused setting. Everything we needed was available, and the grounds were kept in good condition. The staff we encountered were welcoming and clearly proud of the property, offering helpful guidance about the area. Camping at The Wilds is more than just pitching a tent--it's an opportunity to spend time in a unique natural environment that feels both peaceful and expansive. It's a great destination if you're looking for something a little different from the usual campground experience.
