SCHEDULING A PRIVATE TOUR
TOURS
Please read through Tour Information before calling to schedule a tour
Call anytime! Because we work with such a small staff, our tours are by appointment. There is no charge but it sure helps if you can leave a donation! Simply give us a call at 419-684-9539 and we will set you up with one of our wonderful and amazing tour guides. Expect to spend about 45 minutes to an hour outside learning about Ohio's wonderful wildlife.
Our facility is handicap accessible with sidewalks and a handicap restroom. We have several wheelchairs and scooters for visitors to borrow if need be.
