It was our first time there and we had a blast! We really wanted to make a memory before the end of the summer break, so we booked the off-road adventure. It was sooo awesome! We never got so close to the animals so the kids had so much fun feeding them especially the zebras! The staff were all very friendly. The kids also won the prize of Peacock feathers! Highly recommended.

This place is such a cool find in what seems like the middle of nowhere in Illinois! The pricing is very very good, not expensive at all, I was easily able to book and pay online, and every staff member we encountered was friendly. We got to see many animals and the drive through experience was very neat (I truly had no idea camels were THAT tall!)Definitely check this out if you’re anywhere around the area, this place deserves your business!

This is an amazing place to get up close and personal with a wide variety of animals. The wagon ride was great, and our guide was very knowledgeable of all the animals in the park. The prehistoric museum was a really nice bonus. The watering hole has delicious ice cream, nachos, hot dogs, pretzels, and shaved ice, definitely worth a stop. The animals all appear to be very well taken care of. You can definitely notice that the animals are the star of the show. Overall, it was a great place to spend some time with animals. We are planning on returning and doing some of the personal animal interactions.

Delightful! Aikman's Wildlife Park is a wonderful getaway for a sunny summer afternoon. This is a perfect place for young kids to spend a couple of hours encountering nature's beauty. They offer both walk through and drive through tickets. Opt for the combo for the best experience. Just be warned, the animals in the drive through section like to park in the middle of the road.Price for entry: $15.00

Neat little place. Sorta pricey but worth it. Took the trolly ride and got to feed the animals as they came out to the cart. Lots too see and so was bigger than I expected. While you can walk through I recommend the driving guide tour. Good variety of animals turtles, buffalo,foxes,bison,zebra, hyenas etc. Staff are friendly knowledgeable and well trained. Only reason I would take off a star is because the price for a single person is much more than I expected.

We had gone last year and enjoyed this place. Returned again today and they have expanded. It's an awesome place for little ones. I have an older nephew that has disabilities so this is perfect place for him (not so overwhelming). It's a bit of a trek for us, but so worth it. ❤️

Our first visit and all I can say is WOW!!! We took our 2 grandsons and it was an amazing adventure…not 1 dull moment. We all LOVED it! We did the “Behind the scenes” and it was well worth it. James was so informative and knowledgeable! You could feel the love he has for his animals! The facility was beautifully maintained, clean, friendly and helpful staff and you could easily see the animals loved their freedom! Highly recommend this adventure for all ages!

My daughter and I had a epic time at Aikman Wildlife Adventure. Great staff and facilities. All the animals are very well taking care of. Totally worth the drive out there. The museum is really nice, unique and simply stunning. We did the wagon tour and was well worth it. Memories that are unforgettable we're made on my trip. Can't wait to revisit in the future.

We had the best time of our lives today at this place. The animals were all so friendly and amazing, especially Rocket. The place was very clean and easy to maneuver through. Also our guide James was the best and very knowledgeable, made the whole experience amazing for us. Will be going here again and again!P.S. the behind the scenes is worth every penny and the best way to experience it all

We took the off road tour and we had so much fun. The owner drove us and he told us about how the park came about, names of the animals, what kind if animals they were, gave us so much food for the animals. And the animals were so awesome. We then did the petting zoo where Clifford the cow was a hit, we also did the kangaroo adventure. The prehistoric museum was so fun too. Our teens loved it all. We will be back in the spring!

We took the 3 hour drive all the way from Chicago and had an amazing experience. We chose the off road adventure and our guide was very nice and informative of all the animals. We'll definitely be back in a couple of years as they are making exciting expansion plans. I definitely suggest to friends and family that are animals lovers

Did the behind the scenes and it was a great experience. Dan (89% sure that was his name) was very kind, friendly and patient. Didn't rush through anything, pretty sure I asked him questions that he already gave the answer to but he never showed annoyance whatsoever.I would pass on the prehistoric museum though if that's all you're coming for. It's a neat addition but pretty small

This place is like a mini safari in Africa! You can drive through a loop at your own risk and encounter animals that may come right up to your car. It's like a drive-thru zoo! Just talking about it makes me want to visit again. I've been here 3-4 times in the past year, and it never disappoints! I've also been to other zoos like St. Louis Zoo, Peoria, Lincoln Park, and Miller Park Zoo. Additionally, there's a separate area next to the zoo that you can enter. It's an extension of the zoo and has wild peacocks freely roaming outside of cages. With a tour, you can even go inside and pet or hold the wallabies. While it's not as large as most zoos, it's definitely sufficient if you have a small child or want a shorter but wholesome experience. They also have a small dinosaur room featuring common dinosaur species. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. This place is a hidden gem in the Amish Community.

I'd rate this higher if I could! Loved this Wildlife Adventure! My family of 4, 2 adults and 2 boys (10 & 8) enjoyed our visit today! Great prices for a wildlife park. We did the drive thru and walk thru including Prehistoric Museum. Also ended up having time to do two animal encounters, Wolfdog & Fox. Those were really cool as well and very reasonable prices! Staff were amazing! Very friendly, welcomed questions, could tell they truly cared about the animals! We've visited other wildlife parks as well and would rank this as one at the top of our favorite list. Would definitely go back!

What an amazing Sunday! We enjoyed the behind the scenes tour. Most definitely worth the money! Doesn't disappoint! Thank you for an incredible end to our mini vacation ❤️

Aikman is a very nice place with reasonable rates to either walk around or drive around. Animal lovers around the country will need to see the uniqueness and diversity that this zoo has to offer. This is a must stop for anyone traveling to the area. Children and adults alike will gain knowledge and have fun not only watching the animals but visiting the petting zoo. I highly recommend.

Great place to take the kids for an outing! They have multiple different things to do and you could easily spend half a day here! They have a drive thru safari, wagon rides, behind the scenes tour, walk thru which includes access to thw dino exhibit which is short, sweet and pretty neat, a park and the watering hole where you can have a light snack with beverages, and icecream! We've been 4 times and love I each time!
