OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

Wild Adventures, founded in 1996, is an amusement park that mixes rides with animal exhibits, and admission covers both. The youngest riders get their own set of rides: kiddie rides such as Okefenokee Friends and Crunch’s Caboose have an upper height limit as well as a lower one, so older siblings are kept off. On many of the other gentle rides, from Turtle Twist to Swampwater Snake, a child under the posted height can still ride, but only with someone aged 14 or older alongside. The trade-off is what sits outside the ticket: food, games, merchandise, animal experiences and other premium activities may cost extra. If rain restricts rides and cuts your visit short, the park’s weather guarantee gives you a free return ticket for another operating day that season, collected at a ticket booth before you leave.

Family FAQ

Why kids will love it

Several rides here are built for small children only, with a maximum height that keeps bigger kids out of the queue, and the animal exhibits are part of the same admission as the rides. Later in the year the park changes character: Great Pumpkin LumiNights lights up the whole park in autumn, and Christmas Wild & Bright takes over the theme park for the holidays.
