Spend a Beautiful Day at Peck’s Wildwood Wildlife Park

When traveling through the beautiful north woods of Wisconsin, you will find a wonderful place to visit. Peck’s Wildwood Wildlife Park is located very close to the town of Minocqua, and makes a wonderful place for the whole family to get away and have a fun day. People love that they can get very close to the animals here – it makes for a great experience and great photos.

You will encounter hundreds of different animals, birds, and reptiles while walking along the beautiful, landscaped trails at the park or taking the safari train ride. You can see bears, mountain lions, coyotes, fox, lynx, wolves, and more. You can even attend one of the Discovery Programs and learn all about the different types of wildlife they keep at the park.

Many of the animals at the park are from North America, but quite a few do hail from other places around the globe. Zebras, camels, and kangaroos, are always popular with visitors.

One of the most popular places in the park is the nursery, where you and your own little ones can meet some of the cutest and funniest baby animals around. You will see a variety of different animal babies in the nursery, including ferrets, skunks, owls, bears, and woodchucks.

Another fun attraction is the boat rides, which will whisk you past an authentic Native American dwelling, around a beaver house, and past some lifelike recreations of bears, alligators, and snakes.

In addition to visiting all the animals, you can even try your hand at fishing. You can fish for trout in their trout pond, and you don’t even need a license. You only pay for the fish you catch. The staff at the park will even clean the fish and put them on ice for you. You have a great day at the park AND catch your own dinner!

Don’t forget to check out the Wild Den gift shop and grab a couple of fun souvenirs to remember you trip to this great wildlife park. If you get hungry, you will also find snack stands where you can quench your thirst and stop the rumbling in your belly. If you prefer, a picnic area is available where you can eat your lunch.

Pecks Wildwood Wildlife Park is open May through the middle of October, and is located near the picturesque Lake Minocqua. It is just a short drive from the park to town.
