This place is fabulous!!! My husband surprised me for my birthday and took me here because I am an extreme elephant lover! We had a 1:1 experience with the elephants, Cindy & Vicki. And everything was just magical! Joey (the trainer) was absolutely amazing and knowledgeable. You can tell he really loves those girls and loves his job. Every person there was amazing and super welcoming . We will be coming back with our 5 daughters, FOR-SURE! Thank you for the experience & loving the animals !

My cousin and I just experienced Wilstem for the first time two days ago. We were overwhelmed by the ability to interact with an elephant, giraffe, sloth, kangaroos…..what a thrilling day! And our tour wagon guide, Kevin, was so kind and knowledgeable - he made sure to allow lots of time for feedings and photos! You can tell the staff all take excellent care of their animals, and love them. Congratulations on the newest member, the sweet baby (rare) white bison. We left at the end of the day already planning our next trip back! Thank you for such special memories.

I visited in October with a group of ladies from our church and it was my favorite part of the whole trip! We laughed (and screamed) while doing the drive through safari and I am still finding food pellets in my vehicle. 😂 The animatronic dinosaurs were really cool too, highly recommended if you have dino loving kids (or if you're a dino loving adult, like me)! The animals all seemed to be very well cared for and loved which is something I am always cautious of with places like this. A young man named Jack took us to see the kangaroos and he was so knowledgeable and you could tell he really loved them. They were so much softer than I expected! My friend fed a giraffe and we all took a turn and that was just so cool. I want to come back and bring my husband with me and get TONS of food so I have enough for all the animals not just the ostriches. 😆

Best tour on our trip! If I'm ever in Indiana again this will definitely be on our list of things to to!

We went here for the drive thru safari! Definitely worth it! It was so fun and the best experience.
