We had a great experience at Aikman Wildlife adventure today! We did the off road package and our time slot was... accidentally double booked. We thought we wouldn’t be able to do it but one of the guides stepped up and offered to postpone his scheduled break time to take us. He was incredibly kind the entire ride and very informative about All of the animals and ensured our 9 month old baby was safe and secured in her car seat in the back of the UTV and away from the animals. Our 3 year old son is autistic and has recently become very interested in animals so we thought this would be great for him! He LOVED every minute of it ! His current obsession is horses and zebras and our guide was nice enough to take us past both of them a couple times just for our son to squeal in excitement. I am horrible with names but I think his name started with a T ? I do know he said his wife was about to have their second child soon! Anyway, we definitely recommend Aikman’s and that guide needs a raise for above and beyond customer service and for making our 3 year old autistic sons day! 😊read more

I recommend you add on a butterfly encounter and a canary bird feed will totally add on to the experience! We did a Safari ride in Texas and Kentucky and this was my favorite one! Amazing time thank you!read more

We went to Aikman Wildlife Adventure for the first time this past Saturday. Neither my husband or I had been there for... many moons ago when it was still Rockhome Gardens … what a truly AWESOME surprise! This place is GREAT!!! And I HIGHLY recommend people to check it out!!! The staff is incredible and the interaction with the animals truly makes this place extra special!!! You can also see how very well cared for the animals are. We both LOVE animals so if you feel the same you will thoroughly enjoy yourself here!!! We will be back for sure and want to partake in some of the more “up close and personal options” with the animals … thank you for a truly enjoyable afternoon!!! You have an incredible experience here and can’t wait to see how you continue to expand!!! NOTE: they have even kept some pieces from when it was Rockhome Gardens which was a very nice touch!read more

Where do I begin .. This park is nothing short of amazing. The staff couldnt be more friendly, polite and helpful. The... animals are cared for on a level you will never see at a zoo.. a small zoo anyway. It becomes apparent from the time you walk in that this is just not a business for these people .. the animals are first and foremost on their list of priorities. For a small operation .. I use that term lightly as the variety of animals you will encounter is pretty large .. best experience I have ever had. I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list.read more

I cannot say enough about this experience. The staff are always smiling and willing to help you. The entire facility is... well thought out, easy to navigate and very clean. We purchased the behind the scenes tour and it was perfect! Our tour guide was awesome! I went with my partner and 3 teens. As we know, teens are not easily amused and are not easily phased. However, they were in awe from minute one and have described the experience as the best or one of the best experiences of their life. My partner was also very happy with their experience as well as the prices of the items and tour in general. Cannot say enough about this place and our experience.

5 StarsWe had a great time.Looked at going to the St. Louis Zoo and then looked at the Big Cat place in Indiana. Both... required appointments and said masks required. That's ok, but I'm not into wearing masks outside in 90°+ temps.Saved time and money staying local and helped boost the local economy. Also no parking Fee at AWA. After figuring travel expenses to other areas, we still spent less and had more time to enjoy the day.Also I like that AWA keeps expanding and planning to add more, so supporting them helps then do just that.I highly recommend attending.read more

We absolutely loved this place! We went to celebrate my son’s 6th birthday and we purchased the behind scenes tour. My... son loves animals so it was epic for him. Afterwards he jumped up and down and said “this place is amazing!!!” We felt able to social distance. It wasn’t too crowded. Only about 60% of people were wearing masks unfortunately, but it was easy to stay distanced from those who weren’t. I only wish there was more to do in the area because it was a 3 hour drive for us. But it was WELL worth it! Even my 2 year old loved it!read more

I visited your park today aug. 22 2020. With my son-and his wife and 2 grandkids. We had a terrific time! We did the... drive thru first then we walked through it. Amazing wonderful and so exciting! The kids got to feed the animals and my grandson got to see his favorite animal foxes! The kiddos got ice cream for a special treat. The park was so clean and the staff were very friendly. The only thing I wish they had was a posted sign of what kind of animals were in the drive thru. I know they all seemed to get along but wasn’t sure what some of them were. I hope this place keeps growing. Will visit again! Thank u all!read more

Randy the camel bit my Dad! I understand animals can bite, but the staff was not very helpful. He was bleeding a lot... and not one staff member asked if he was ok. They finally got a first aid kit that wasn’t very stocked or helpful for large animal bite wounds. We asked questions about infection and acted as if we were dumb to be concerned about infection. They never asked my Dad’s name, info or nothing. I had been encouraging my son and daughter to feed Randy. After he bit my Dad, he was left out to take food from other patrons. We are not people to sue, but others be warned.read more

Have I ever seen hyenas so well kept and beautiful their coats just shines and the smile on his face he was one happy hyena. Will definitely be back. Very reasonable prices totally worth every dime spent which wasn’t that much. ��read more

This place is a new treasure in Central IL! We had such a great time on the behind the scenes adventure! When they say... it is up close and personal, they are not lying. We literally had elk, camel, zebra, buffalo and a variety of other animals eating out of our hand and practically sitting in our lap! It is obvious this family has a passion for rescue animals as they have hand built so many of the enclosures to give the animals a lot more activity and space! If you have kids that love animals, don’t miss this adventure! We will definitely be going back.read more
