Thank you!
You can visit The Nature of Wildworks! We are not open like a zoo, but allow scheduled, private tours instead. Please call or email ahead to schedule an appointment, sometimes we can make same-day appointments depending on our schedule that day, so please don't hesitate to call and ask. Tours can be scheduled between 9:30am and 3pm. Please take a look at the available options below and choose which tour you would like to schedule.
​
Please note: We may require a $35 non-refundable reservation fee during peak times. We also ask that you arrive on time for your tour. If you are late, your tour will still end at the designated time for when your tour was scheduled.
General Tour
60 minutes
$85 for up to two people
$20 for any additional adult
$10 for any additional child
This more budget-friendly option allows you to see all of our animals. You will go on a guided tour with one of our wildlife experts around our entire care center. Learn all about the animals we have, why they live with us, and what you can do to safely co-exist with our wild neighbors. You will be up close to their habitats and get an up-close view of our animals. Since the tour is led by one of their caretakers, they may even come right up to say hi!
All tours below include a general tour plus described added on interactions.

Come meet all of the "little critters" that call Wildworks their home! Get a more personal experience with our hedgehogs, ferrets, bunnies, chinchillas, and reptiles. Ever seen the largest breed of rabbit? We have a few right here at our care center! Our friendly Flemish Giants are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The squirmy ferrets love to play and give kisses. Watch the chinchillas take an aww-dorable dust bath and hand them some of their favorite snacks. Love reptiles? Or don't? Our snakes are pros at getting people through their fears with their docile natures. Learn how some of these little critters actually can make good pets, and why some of them still do not.

Voluntourism
Combine your passion for traveling while giving back to the communities you visit. It's a great way to lend charities a hand and give them financial support. Below lists our "voluntourism" opportunities.
Feeding Frenzy
2 1/2 hours (2:30pm-5:00pm)
$75 per adult
$55 per child
Learn all about animal diets. What does a fox eat? Or how about a mountain lion? Learn the difference between an herbivore, omnivore, and carnivore and why it is so important to know which category the animal falls under. Help us make the animals' dinners and then the fun part... you get to feed all of the animals! You'll also get to learn about behavioral
enrichment, how to make it, and why it is so important. Take some of the lessons home with you and try it out with your own pets! You'll be surprised at how much fun they might have!
So You Wanna Be A Zookeeper?
4 hours (anytime between 9am-5pm)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take care of wild animals? Well here's your chance! You can shadow one of our staff members for 4 hours and perform all of the tasks that are required to run a wildlife care center and take care of wild animals. It's not all fun and games, there's a lot of raking and there's a lot of poop, but you'll get to spend your day surrounded by all of our wonderful animals and truly help make a difference in their lives.
