Located at the Wisconsin Dells Parkway, the Timbavati Wildlife Park allows visitors the unique opportunity to view some of the rarest species of wildlife, while also letting them interact with the animals on a personal level.
The Wildlife Park features interactive shows all through the week, which also educate the audience with snippets of information about some of the most peculiar habits and relatively unknown facts and figures about the stars of these shows. These shows are conducted twice during the day at 11 am and 1 pm. At the park you can expect to see an array of wildlife which includes kangaroos, giraffes, lemurs, yellow-headed vultures, crab-eating MaCaques among others. This might be just the opportunity you're looking for to figure out what an Alpaca or a Mintjac is, and even learn about their distinct characteristics. The park also arranges for refreshments and allows visitors to photograph their spectacular animals.
The Park also hosts animal feeding sessions where you have a giraffe, a baby zebra and even a tortoise, in its 60 pound glory, nuzzling at your palm! There is also a section devoted to the youngest members of the Wildlife Park, where you can hope to find a baby kangaroo, huddled up in its pouch, or even ducklings marching to the pond for a swim. The park is home to a plethora of exotic birds which include the tawny eagle, kookaburra and cackler geese. Children will also delight in the camel rides atop the majestic 'ships of the desert' the park offers. The Timbavati Wildlife Park also holds the distinction of being one of the very few to house the rare and endangered white lion.
You can visit the park from 9 am to 7 pm, May 6 to September 15. To stop by during the rest of the year, call the wildlife park at (608) 253-2391. Admission is charged at $10.95 with special discounts for children.
