Reviews of Aikman Wildlife Adventure (Zoo)

Maxine Mahan

I go here once a year and always have a blast! The behind the scenes today was absolutely amazing! Totally worth the drive. Seeing animals not exposed to the public and so close to animals it was unreal. Our guide (James I think?) Was super nice and told us a lot of information and each animals past life before joining the family at Aikmans. Will return many more times.

Anita Shirley

Wagon ride was worth it; kids loved seeing, touching and feeding the animals! Nice walking path with benches in the shade. Most animals were easy to see.

Brian Korus

Did the wagon ride so we could feed and pet the animals. It was very nice. They have a little snack bar, which was good. The bathrooms are super clean and brand new. The only small, tiny complaint is that I wish there were more garbage cans along the walking trail.

Matthew Tracy

Awesome little zoo. Nice staff. Was here for a wedding, which was very nice. The barn, was rustic and neat. The reception hall was setup well.

TheBlue

Camel chased me.

Heidi Ahlden

So cool! I wish I would have visited sooner! Will definitely be back!

Xavier Holford

I recommend the private tour if you can get one early. The staff was knowledgeable, the park was well maintained, and they have an interesting variety of animals. Overall worth the trip and I plan on going again soon

Kelli Munyon

Kinda pricey to drive throughout if you only have one or two people in your car... But the animals were so neat to watch! I would definitely recommend if you have a few kids, they would love it! I think it was like 20 or 30 per car.

Shakieta Kelly

This place was amazing. My son and niece had a great time.

Randal Armstrong

$25.00 per car, worth the money if you have a large group. Best bet is STL Zoo however still fun

David Peebles

Our 5 year old granddaughter loved it

William Staley

This was an awesome experience. Can't wait to come back.

Shaun Janes

My family loves this place, it offers walk-thru / petting zoo and drive thru or guided tours and offers an ice cream shop and playground.

Cooter Joe

A bit pricey but great people and animals

Elijah Wasson

Just opened up so it needs more work and animals, but overall, very good for a small zoo.

Michael Lee

This place is great for children of all ages. It was a very clean facility and very affordable.

Karen Paul

This place is well worth the money. Had an AWSOME time here. Will definitely go back was worth the 2 hour drive.

Rachel Marie McDonald

Awesome experience up close with animals from all over the world! Love seeing animals coming up to you and engaging with you. If you're driving through the area or even live far away, it is worth making the trip cause it is definitely what I would call a "once in a lifetime" kind of opportunity!

Jay Mattern

WOW! This place is amazing. I fed a Zebra. Case closed, full stop. The animals are well taken care of and are happy in mostly open simulated natural environments. Everything was clean and well organized. Please check it out for fun and a good time.

Denise Stennett

This is amazing place... Staff are super... Animals are beautiful... will definitely go back..

Emily Smith

It's close.:) and....they have two adorable lemurs.

Laura Reynolds

Kind of lame and overpriced for what it was. We did walk through. Very boring and nothing to see. We stayed about 20 minutes and left.

Andrea Seten

I recommend getting on the cart ride. A lot of animals. Really neat!

Jeffrey Kramer

Take the wagon tour; it is well worth it to hear about the animals, while seeing them up close.

FlametheSeraph

Very Nice

Winnie Caskey

We went with the guided tour and it was fantastic. It's really nice to see the behind-the-scenes and have the personal adventure. There were five of us and it was very enjoyable.

Anna Farrell-Blacketer

Its a great place to take your family. We loved it!

Allie Browning

This place is really fun and a great family activity. Definitely pay to take the wagon tour in the drive-thru portion of the park. You will get to hand feed zebras and all sorts of animals, and get to see others up close. Closer than a typical zoo. The petting zoo is also very fun - deer, alpaca, sheep, goats and cows. It's only $1 for a cup of feed at the petting zoo. The walk-thru portion of the park has a mix of animals you want to see (a bear, wolf-dogs and others) and others that you might just breeze by (rabbits). But for a newer park, it's pretty cool and they are continuing to improve!

Johanna Weichsel

There's so much to see and do here! I first went on the wagon tour, and got to feed some really neat animals, a bunch of them I've never seen in person before! The zebra-donkey hybrid was so cool and the critters get really close but not dangerous. Then I got to see a bunch of other animals in nice enclosures, like a coatimundi (weird little racoon-like cutie), beautiful small wild cats, and peacocks. Very nice setting and the animals look well.

Timothy Wood

This was a wonderful adventure and great way to spend the afternoon. The walkthrough has some really cool animals and petting zoo's are always a hit with kids. The wagon tour was so cool and our guide was amazing! Highly recommend. My only wish was that there were birthday party packages because my daughter would love to have her party here.

Alisa Green

Loved this place. The animals are so happy and frolic! We had a ball hand feeding a buffalo, camel, elk, zebra you name it! Place is clean and quiet. Loved the petting zoo also the wagon ride was super fun.

I changed my name

Do the behind the scenes tour, you won't regret it! Friendly and knowledgeable staff who really care about the animals in their care.

Rhonda Brown

Love this place they had the best easter egg hunt for kids today still going on till 4.00 today

Russell Maxwell

Had lots of fun with grandkids. Hot day, so an abundance of free or cheap water would have been great for the humans. Knowledgeable staff on the wagon ride through the park.

Ashley Fakhouri

My husband and I took our 1 1/2 year old daughter here and all 3 of us had a great time! It was nearly a 3 hour drive south for us, but totally worth it! We scheduled a behind the scenes tour and would definitely go the same route when we go back, although the wagon tour looked like a great time too. We got to pet and feed animals we never imagined we'd be able to- including touching a kangaroo (incredibly soft) and coming within feet of 2 hyenas (fence between us, of course)!! Our guide, James, was extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals and told us where the animals came from and their stories. He was very engaging and was happy to answer any and all questions we could come up with. The Aikman family really love and take great care of all the animals and are looking for ways to be able to responsibly take in more animals who need a good home. They're working on growing and developing more so it will only get better from here! We learned a lot and left very impressed and eager to take more family back soon!! Well worth a day trip for this unique and wonderful experience!

Christopher Boward

Kids enjoyed it. Nice being able to drive through the park!

Angel Dawn

Everyone was very nice. The behind the scenes tour is well worth it. Will define be going back once they get their expansions done..

Martha Ritchey

Not bad for a small zoo, kids really enjoyed it. When we were done, they asked to see more animals, lol. They really enjoyed feeding the animals but the goats were hogging the food and pushing away the deer. Llama and sheep. Would be nice to separate them and have 2 feeding pens.

Leilani Michelle

Decided to make the hour drive last Saturday morning with 4 teenagers to this place. We decided to only do the drive thru for our first visit. There is a wagon tour and walk thru also. Pricey is what I think of first and foremost. It’s $25 just to drive through the very short animal trail. The wagon tour and walk thru are equally as expensive especially when you have a family. With the drive thru you do get an up close and personal view of the animals when they approach your car but it’s hardly worth paying for 15 minutes at best of a drive thru. The animals were well kept and maintained and you can feed some of them when you take the wagon tour. This would be a nice stop if you were planning to go to the Great Pumpkin Patch too in the same day since it’s such a limited activity.

Ken Walker

I used to be in the exotic animal breeding and brokering b business so I am hard to please when at a smaller zoo type facilty. I enjoyed their mix of animals. I used to own and raise Pataonian Cavy, it is nice to see that they have a few... and the variant with more red than the silver and fans which are more common. I enjoyed the fact that they have Spotted Hyena, which are amazing creatures which usually go ignores by so many facilities. One animal that commonly forms tight bonds with their handlers.. one of my favorite animal species. Pretty much a weasel lime animal that evolved to look more like a dog... They never cease to stagger me with their beauty. The safari ride is fun, which I recommend over just driving in your car. They have the cleanest bathrooms in the world... clean and nice enough you almost want to live in them. They tend to have some areas left natural which is great for the peacock and the butterflies but I would like to see them go with a more manicured garden type look in these areas. There souvenir shop has realistic affordable prices compared to other zoos, they could add $10 to a shirts price and still be a deal. It deserves a vist, stay in town for the weekend and shop at some local stores while you're there.

Chuck Winters

We had an Excellent time!!! We will be coming back.

Katie Danser

This by far was an amazing adventure. The staff is spectacular and really know their facts about the animals housed here. It was a truely unbelievable experience being able to not only see but feed and touch animals you would never in a lifetime be able to do.

MATT PEARSON

Spring for the behind the scenes tour! Worth every bit! Family run by great people and several new things coming soon almost forcing another trip. New and underrated

Diane Crews

This quaint Zoo is located in Arthur, Il. We found it by mistake. We were looking for a sale. We wrote down all their info. Come Springtime we'll be bringing the family here for a tour. They have 3 kinds of tours. Looking forward to seeing them soon. Loved all the animals we saw just driving by. A little piece of heaven outside of an Amish Community. The town in Arthur is really awesome too.

Jeff Viene

Great famy experience. The staff is wonderful.

Lisa Spanos

Very cool place, in the middle of nowhere. Take the little trip off the expressway and go. Well worth the trip!

Jamie Schnall

This is the most wonderful place ever! So much to do and enjoy and learn. We took the wagon ride, walk around, and wolf and kangaroo walks. I can’t believe I got to pet a kangaroo and wolf! We learned their stories and got tours from the owners. This is a must see! Perfect for my 6 and 11 year old. Super clean.

* J

Really enjoyed ourselves. Some animals weren't out it was 65° when we went. Best part of the visit was wagon ride. The washrooms are beautiful. Very nice attraction to the area.

Menno Miller

Aikman Wildlife Adventure is a great experience. The wagon ride tour was a highlight for everyone. The walk through area of the park was also very fun and interesting. I think that the Aikman family is creating an awesome experience in the community with the establishment of Aikman Wildlife Adventure! I would definitely recommend a visit to the Aikman Wildlife Adventure! If you are from the area or from out of the area a visit to the park is a great opportunity for everyone!

Allison Chrisman

Went there this summer with my 8 yr old daughter, very relaxed, plenty of animals to discover, the wagon ride to see even more animals and get to feed them is a must, what a great treasure in central Illinois

Elaine Mowery

This was an awesome day. Great thing to see all animals together loved this

Beverly Danforth

Great place-will go back. Enjoyed petting kangaroos and zebras!!

John Hayden

Fun for kids and groups. Lots of unique animals up close and in plain view.

Darrell gregory

Fun place for kids to go!

Brittany Mccannon

Not the best experience. The wolves look malnourished and was just sad. Not worth $7/person.

Jennifer Malloch

We have been on the wagon tour and the behind the scenes tour as well. The animals all seem decently cared for and have nice enclosures (even the temporary ones). They have everything from a macaw to a bear and so much more in between. The wagon tour takes a group of people through a large pasture of animals all while telling you about them and stopping from time to time to let you feed them. It isn't rushed and the guide was nice enough to answer all of the questions everyone had. The behind the scenes was also great but keep in mind that they book 5 seats on a UTV so you may be with people you don't know. You are guided through the walk through area and get to see the animals that aren't out for general spectators yet. You get to hang with the kangaroos for a bit also before getting in the vehicle for the next part of your adventure. You're driven through the pasture area while getting a more personal in depth history and lesson on the animals all while feeding them (watch out for that greedy camel Randy). Its pricey but understandable seeing all the work that needs to be done and all the work that has been done already. Maintaining animals, enclosures, grounds, buildings and, a crew isn't easy or cheap I'd assume. There is a small gift shop as well where you buy your tickets and can see a few smaller critters. It's a couple hours worth of fun at best.

Sheryl Painter

Great fun for kids and adults alike. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will return!

Tamra Parker

Very cool experience not far from Champaign/Urbana! We did the wagon ride through and it was totally worth it.

Moynaie Murry

I am so in love with this place I have to go back

Susan Dyer

It was wonderful! Better than I expected. Yes it is a little pricey, but hey if you have animals you know they are expensive to keep, just imagine having to feed and house these animals. We will be coming back to do the walk through again. Can't wait to see what other animals they will add.

Kyle Simmons

Great family experience! Wagon ride was amazing, going to make it a yearly tradition! Staff were very nice and informational. The father/son duo on the wagon ride were the best!

Donna Seppi

We did the behind the scenes tour. It was great!!! Totally worth it! And they really care about the animals!

Shannon Wells

We took the walking tour and enjoyed looking at the animals and feeding the goats etc at the petting zoo. Nice size for our toddler grandson.

Katy Light

Great place for a family afternoon. Friendly, knowledgable staff.

Lawrence Vinson

Great family fun we took are grandkids today and they loved it

Kris Marbutt

If you like animals...this is the place to go! We took the behind the scenes tour. It is worth the money. Our guide took us personally to each habitat explaining the origin of the animal and how they got there. He was happy to answer the many questions we had. Then we went on their 4-wheeler to hand feed & pet the many animals on the driving tour. They love the many animals who need a safe and well cared for place to call home. If you are anywhere in the area or driving through, stop by the place. Can't beat the hospitality & fun!

Bijoy Kannadikara

We only did the drive through safari. It is pretty good, only a mile and takes about 30 minutes

Kathy Stanbery

Very welcoming place. Great little place for a short trip. And it's affordable.

T Hector

A great place to visit and see animals

Nita Carter

Great time!!

Jim Lipofski

Sister was in from out of town so we took her and her kids to this place. Awesome. 200+ animals. You can feed and pet them in the petting zoo or while on the wagon tour. Will be back for the behind the scenes tour!

peggy blalock

My husband and I look forward to our annual visit to your wildlife adventure and as usual we enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to seeing all the progress and the new additions you will have made next year! "KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!".............(Aug. 15th 2019)Did our annual visit and took our first wagon ride and WHAT an experience(none you can ever get from a zoo)totally well worth the money! Looking forward again to next years trip!

Cody Overton

Great place to take the kids to see a wide variety of animals up close! We had a blast on the wagon ride and the kids loved it. Very friendly atmosphere and they are always adding more stuff.

Kyle Guy

Great family adventure

Grandma Phone

We had a wonderful time doing the drive through, walk through, petting zoo and up front time with the kangaroos!! Highly recommend

Liliana Stanek

Best animal experience ever! They take awesome care of their animals. Can't wait to be back.

Alan

This place was so awesome! A lot of exotic animals that you don't see everyday. Zebra, kangaroo, hyenas, hybrid wolfs, black bears, alpacas, camels, really a great selection! You can take a wagon ride(for only $16.00 bucks) that allows you to feed and pet the animals.(the less dangerous ones of course) I don't have kids myself, but this is a fantastic experience for kids. It really is a must see! Just FYI they do have a concession stand if you get hungry during the excursion and the prices are reasonable, it's not Chicago priced or anything.

Ashley Swalls

A fun time, loved the kangaroo experience.

Steve Kaluf

Really nice wildlife park in the middle of Amish farm country. Family run. Very knowledgeable staff and the number of animals increases on a regular basis. Habitats seem well designed, and clean. Animals seem happy. Wagon tours are the most fun. They also have a great behind the scenes tour (reservation required).

Kelly Glass

Such a cool place! The drive through experience was so much fun. The animals seem to enjoy the company too! We saw other cool animals on the walk through, such as the hyenas. There's also a cute little cafe there with reasonable prices. I liked that the gift shop was not overflowing with stuffed animals and other useless, expensive souvenirs.

Tommy Mac

Lots of fun. Caring, responsible interactive staff. Can't wait to come back again especially after they expand.

Dr. Melody Chase-Griffin

it is not open during the week and it's a shame because we were in a nearby town and wanted to spend some time here before hitting the road but they are only open on the weekend.

katherine bennett

Children loved it wish there was more completed in the wall threw

Andy H

I enjoy these animals so much. It’s amazing we have this out in our Illinois prairie

Michael Wilson

Great time with the kids and they have a friendly staff

Charles Ayers

Great nephew enjoyed it as well as my sister and myself. Walked as well as the wagon. More than we expected, nicely kept.

Bradley Maschhoff

This was a great trip! When you visit make sure you go behind the scenes there is so much to see!

Christina

This place was really cool! Kids would love it! Plan on visiting again soon.

richard myers

Great place to take kids

mario natarelli

Had a great time on our second wedding anniversary did the wagon ride and Walk thru definitely worth every penny

Lindsay Hasken

Fun place to take kids on a nice day. We decided on not to do the wagon tour because it wasn't going to be for another hour and a half and we weren't sure how long we'd spend in the walk-through. Two and a half hours later we were just leaving the walk-through to do the drive-through on our own. We saw the animals: zebras, llamas, and elands all running towards the wagon wanting to be fed. So if you want to feed some fun animals and pet them, do the wagon ride, even if there is a wait. There is plenty to do in the walk through to entertain you before the wagon ride! We will for sure go back!

Kristy Heart

Just before opening ...very peaceful..cool

Fl4t Four

The wildlife/zoo was great! You get really up close to the animals especially on the Wagon Tour where you are able to feed the animals that come up to the wagon! The walkthrough tour was a good way to spend the time waiting for the wagon tour. I'd go back!

scott bilbrey

What an Awesome place!!! 1st wagon if the day so the young owner and his Father took us out. Incredibly nice folks! So informed! They make this experience great for all ages! Thank you for letting everyone share your passion for the animals! Get there early cause they fill up fast!

Phil Moore

Great place to visit. Lots of different animals to see close up, and feed them. The staff is very nice and informative. The wagon ride is definitely the way to go. Looking forward to visiting again.

Donna Adcock

A great place to bring your family and enjoy observing wild animals not in a cage or fence. I recommend the wagon ride. This is only the second summer for this attraction. The owner plans to do more so I consider it still in development. It'll earn a fifth star as it grows.

Traci Milan

My aunt, my son and I visited last fall, and we haven't stopped talking about it. The animals appear clean and healthy, and we loved seeing so many roaming freely. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. My son would like to come back for his birthday in the spring. Next time we'll take the full tour: it will be worth the money.

Roy Snively

Great staff. Wonderful learning experience, beautiful animals that are well cared for. My grandchildren absolutely loved it.

Tim Hoel

Great place for kids and family you get to hand feed the animals and the petting zoo you get the ride through or you can do the trailer ride it's all pretty fun for a family

Renee Sample

Well worth the money. Lots of fun!!

Rachel Staley

Drove down with my in laws and since it was close seemed like a good outing. We were highly disappointed with what we saw for the price. We would have been better off driving to Scovill Zoo! Also pictures show people with windows down and tops off of jeeps but when you pull up to pay they have a sign telling you to keep windows up and tops must be on jeeps! Highly misleading!!!!

Aurea Garvin

We went on a day that was a bit rainy and not many people there. We walked around and it was nice. My son wasn't in to it as much as I was. The staff was kind and answered questions about me using my sons machines around the animals.

Melanie Thompson

Nice friendly staff lots of neat animals definately reccommend checking this one out we came in the fall took the wagon and fed the animals great day!

Curtis Goldstein

Great place to drive thru and see animals. The walking tour is better I think. It gives the kids a chance to see them up close and touch some of them. 11 dollars for adults and kids and under are free.

Bob Dugan

Awesome Everytime. The wagon rides and kangaroo experience is the best. I like the walk through too.

Philip Bruni

This place was great. Worth the drive.

Jennifer Humes

This family friendly destination has a lot to offer. We chose the wagon adventure and kangaroo meet. The wagon adventure takes you out in the drive through area and stops 3 times. Each time it stops you can pet and feed the animal that come up to the wagon. Walking out I to the kangaroo area was a fun add on. The kangaroo we met was very calm and friendly. Each time we visit more additions are being made. They recently added a wolf area and a playground.

Paula Hale

Absolutely so much fun. This is a great place to go for all ages.

Alston Pike

Charming zoological upstart deep in Amish country. They have a small but decent variety of animals to see. You can drive yourself through the park, but I do recommend taking the guided wagon ride. For those semi-familar with the area, this is on the old Rockome Gardens property.

Mitch Crawford

Great place to visit and the drive through part is awesome.

Hayden Beaven

Very cool place. Lots of animals. The only thing I didn't like is I felt like we had done everything there is to do in this park in less than an hour. I feel like it needs something more to occupy the kids time.

Don E. Smith

Love to look at the animals! A little pricey though...

Kelly Reynolds

Super fun!! The staff is wonderful and animals are very well cared for Highly recommend!!

Tracy McAllister

Super fun place with super nice people! James one of the owners gave us the behind-the-scenes adventure and it was amazing! The wolf dog cubs were the highlight of our trip thank you.

JJ

Great place for all ages! Definitely recommended the wagon tour with the walk-through. Really well run!

Lori Metke

What a great hidden gem!

Matthew Libera

Don't do it don't do it go to your local petting zoos there's a lot better

Garrett Tink

Does anyone have any idea about the Cervantes girl I figure this place should know after all she did used to work there she is going around stealing dogs particularly German shepherds and labs keep an eye on your dog when they are outside she will try to steal them

Jana Chamness

I went when they first opened, loved it and went again last weekend to do the wagon ride and feed the animals. The weather was great but after driving 2 hours we were disappointed to hear the wagons werent running. It would have been nice if that was disclosed on the website. Probably wont go back. :(

Todd Cisna

Great place to take the kids to see animals up close. Staff is friendly. Facility is clean.

Howard Bagby

A fun trip with several ways to enjoy your visit. You can drive through or ride a wagon where you can feed the animals.

Sharon Griffin

Had fun

Hillary

Such an amazing adventure to take your family on! The staff goes above and beyond. Staff offered to take group pictures of us without us asking, which was so nice. Even when the workers were on break and eating lunch at a picnic table, they chatted with us about the animals. I witnessed a staff member come into the play area and speak to a regular, holding her baby to give the mom a brief break. Such a truly wonderful family environment. I mean, where else can you feed a zebra or water buffalo out of your hand for such a minimal cost?! It is a hidden gem in our backyard.

Catherine Dockery

This was our second time there. We had a great time time!

Stephanie pollock

Amazing time! Brought 9, 8 and 1year old...everyone had a blast!! Animals were very well cared for and seemd super happy.. all animals were rescued or not able to survive in the wild and so beautiful ! Recommend doing drive thru, walk through and pet the kangaroos <3

Jake King

The kiddos loved the wagon ride as well as the walking trails.

Christie Dunham

Great place. Wagon tour was fun. Animals come up and feed. Not much for snacks/food so be prepared if you have kids. I think as the word spreads about this place they will be very busy. Animals were very friendly and tour guide was great.

Liliana Monzani-Stanek

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! By far the best animal encounter experience in the Midwest. My husband and I are from the Chicagoland area and have taken our now 8 year-old granddaughter on tons of animal encounters and the behind the scenes adventure at Aikman's exceeds them all. Animals are so well taken care of and staff is super friendly. They had just opened a small bar/grill that served yummy burgers/sandwiches beer/cocktails. It closed at 3pm but was perfect for a quick lunch and a delicious adult drink before our ride. Already planning our trip back! I have to admit that I am very bad about coming back and writing reviews after I visit places but I couldn't let this one pass without doing so. AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!

Steve Jankowski

For a new private owned zoo they had lot's to see. Animals seemed well kept and it was very clean. Especially liked the drive through portion. Able to view the animals in an open range. The price is a bit high but has several hours of entertainment which offset the cost. Check for special days with reduced prices.

Carol Smith

Great place to take the family, the wagon ride was a lot of fun!

Janette Van Meter

The whole staff was very friendly and informative. My first graders loved the animals!

Scott Hoppin

Absolutely love going here and being able to enjoy the animals and see tehem up close!

sandman38111

Had a great time .Granddaughter loved it .

Mark Stout

Great place wonderful day trip for the whole family

Christine Poland

Just getting started so much of the grounds are empty. Hope they continue to grow. We had a good time there.

Graig Smith

Great trip. Get to feed zebras and oxen and a camel named Randy. Great for families, animal lovers, and children.

Barry Nelson

Aikman Wildlife is a wonderful place for animal watching, exploring, Team Aikman --- keep up the great work.

Megan Conrad

This was a lot of fun for our family. Nice size to see everything and the drive through is a great feature!

Ron Crist

Nice place but it’s not a zoo. I’d suggest not doing the drive through but take the wagon ride. In the car, you’ll see some fun to look at animals but when the wagon ride comes down the same road you’re on, all of the animals surround the wagon where guides are on the ground handing out treats very discreetly. You’ll be able to see the rear ends of the animals and maybe a squirrel or crow. Probably nice if you know to go in and don’t drive through. Lots of rules on the drive through. We saw people petting animals on the wagon ride. August 2019 the wagon is $11 per person and the drive is $25 per vehicle. Spend the extra money. You get inside and outside. Don’t expect an exotic safari but not a total bore either

Melissa Houston

Not much to do for those who are in wheelchairs

Brian Fatka

We loved it. Nice little half day trip. They have lots of cool animals. You get to interact with many of them. The staff are super friendly. It's super affordable. Kids and adults should have a blast. Definitely worth a visit. We did the behind the scenes tour - worth it.

Brenda Kerns

This place was pretty awesome

Anna Kearns

Really enjoyed the drive thru, fun family time next time taking the wagon ride to feed the animals.

April Gerrib

Definitely will be going back! Everything experience is so much fun

Steven Williams

Great place to take ur child and have fun and relax.. staff was great

James Sellers

It was very nice.

Bethany Ray

I'm so happy that this is here now! It was such a wonderful experience with my family. The staff and even the animals were all friendly. I stopped by the "watering hole" and got some ice cream. I recommend doing the wagon and the walk through tour. I will definitely be back! :)

Syed Mudabbir

It was fun staff was really nice. Everyone was very helpful. Not a lot of animals. I would think about going there twice though, specially when its 3 hrs drive from Chicago.

Kevin Kiesewetter

Much better than I'd expected. Behind the scenes tour was worth it for our 9 year old animal lover.

Amanda Burfiend

Went here on an overcast chilly day. This is the weather that the animals love. It was ideal. All the animals were out and coming right up to us. Fabio the camel is nuts.

Robert Thompson

We love the Aikman Wildlife Adventure! Our area is blessed to have such an awesome zoo

Yusuf Jassim

Very nice place, and the animals seemed well cared for. The staff were also nice. It is a bit small, but they are working to make it larger and have expansion plans. definetly check it out.

jeffery bucel

Fantastic time loved the walk through and the drive through was better up close to the animals

Donna Ray

Aikman Wildlife Adventure was just that - a wonderful adventure! The staff was friendly and the animals were fun to see. There were many animals which I have not seen before! We went in the evening and as we walked thru the door you could actually hear our gasps at how beautifully lit up the area was with Christmas lights! Just gorgeous! Many pictures were taken and many family memories were made this evening. Thank you Aikman Wildlife Adventure for being a part of our family fun!!

Claudia Bruni

Wonderful afternoon, comune with nature and animals....

Joshua Stanbery

had a lot of fun

Elexas fun videos

We had so much fun on the wagon ride! The walk through area was great as well! Staff was very nice and informative! We will be back again. So nice to have this in our area!
