Wilstem

My daughter and I just stayed at the Capone cabin. We went on the evening elephant encounter and the did the entire elephant encounter the next day along with the giraffe encounter and the safari. Words cannot even begin to describe how much fun we had, from Joe with the elephants and the gentleman with the giraffes to the Roos and Crew team, everyone was so knowledgeable of and attentive to the animals, it was amazing! You can tell the staff LOVE these animals, they are well cared the grounds of property inside and out are so clean. The cabin was clean and had so many things available inside to use during our stay, right down to dishes in the cabinet. I cannot remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did on the safari, the animals were not shy at all to come to the car and get feed. It was amazing! The staff were incredible! We will be back, big shout out to the Wilstem team, you are wonderful. 😃

What a wonderful place this is! I am so happy that all these animals are being taken care of and living well. And....the public is allowed to enjoy it all up close. The elephant encounter was fantastic! Brian took time to answer all my questions and thoroughly explain the daily events of Vicky and Cindy. The drive through safari was amazing, but beware of the ostriches and emus because they are very aggressive trying to get the food. I loved every minute of it. The gift shop is full of great clothes and items for adults and children alike. I would like to have seen signs or billboards advertising the park along the main road as that might attract people who are unaware of its existence. Lastly, it would definitely benefit the park to have overnight parking for RVs to grab those passerbys. Thank you Wilstem for providing an experience I will never forget.

This place is amazing!! The animals are quite friendly. They are well cared for and have lots of room to roam. The big birds are inquisitive and will eat from the bucket. Hold it tight, the "bite" is strong and easy to drop. The giraffes and Issac were wonderful! I can't say enough good things about Wilstem! We will definitely be back.

Luna, the sloth made our day! She was so friendly and so active for a 🦥, she was a real diva! She let us feed and pet her and then was playing with her blankie and soft toy. It was a fun experience for all of us! We will definitely go to visit Luna again. The other animals such as the giraffe, kangaroos, monkeys, and even the parrot were all so friendly.

We went for the otter experience and it was amazing. Cash, Hank, and George are the 3 otters you get to meet. Rebecca is their handler and was full of knowledge. You can tell she is their human momma. Very unique experience that I won’t forget. Do wish that you could walk up to the elephant enclosure just to see them but that’s part of another experience that you either pay to drive through or walk through their building. Beautiful grounds that the potential to do so much!
