One of my favorite weekend things to do when you are in town. The Wildpark is not too far from a…read morecouple parking areas so great for those looking for short or long hikes, families and those needing a running area with stuff to see. The park is open to anyone and free. You'll walk up and be surprised that it's just suddenly there and You have free access. The animals are well cared for and seem excited for guests. Bring some carrots or let us and you'll be greeted by the deer and cows eager at the fences. Love seeing the buffalo and the pair of lynxes. The hogs are always mulling around and hunting for food and you can usually see some babies who are more curious. Bring your veggies and enjoy a great morning or afternoon outside! There will be many others roaming around with you.

Lots of trees/shade and a variety of local and exotic plants. For me though, this zoo was missing something very important: Animals! Never been to a zoo in which so many exhibits were missing their animals. Even so, the kids still had a good time.

Disappointing would be an understatement. We decided to visit this park on a sunny mid-November…read moreSunday. I checked to make sure they're still open during Winter and sure enough it said 10:00-16:00 with the Birds of Prey show happening at 15:00 on weekends. I was well aware that the rides, snack stands, and other atractions would be closed but we went only to see the animals. When we got to the entrance at 14:30 I even asked one more time to make sure the bird show was still on for 15:00 and the cashier rudely told me there was no reason why it wouldn't take place. The park itself is not very nice compared to others we've been to like Potzberg. Especially the building with the meerkats is completely run down and I feel sorry for the few animals they have since there is obviously no effort to make the enclosures comfortable or interesting for them. We saw two meerkats cuddling together and shivering because they were so cold. We really looked forward to seeing the bears but the whole area was taped off with signs that the bears are already in hibernation. Well, they are actually not. We could see each of the three bears from a distance locked in 3m x 3m steel cages with concrete floors, banging on the doors because they wanted to get out. Oh, and guess what? The bird show never happened. There were about 25 people waiting but nobody ever showed up. No explanation, no apologies...simply nobody showed up. So we left, feeling sad for the animals there and ripped-off because we paid full price for a whole lot of nothing. We definitely won't ever go back, not even in the summer.
