Who We Are – Why You’ll Love Us!
Hollywild Animal Park is a 501c3 non-profit organization with a 40+ year history as a place for families and individuals to experience the majesty of the animal kingdom. Our animals are native to six different world continents. Many are extinct in the wild. In fact, Hollywild is one of the few places in the country where people can visit with and learn about the Syrian Brown Bear and meet the cubs that were born right here. Hollywild’s family also includes many primates, lions, tigers, emu, exotic bird species, camels, deer, elands, cattle, and Tank, one of two ‘working’ White Rhinos in the nation.
Animal “Zooperstars” from the Park have made more than 65 appearances in feature films and dozens of television and national advertising campaigns. Animals used for film and television cannot be returned to the wild. They find a special home here at Hollywild. Because of the care given them here, we have several new births each year within our animal families. We even have unique cross breeds here like our “waffalo” a cross between an African Watusi and a North American Bison (Buffalo).
Hollywild offers educational programs, from the live Creature Feature shows and fun, informational Safari bus rides that run daily during our regular season, to special programs on and off-site for Scouts, home-schoolers, and community groups. We even host groups and corporate events!
Many enjoy purchasing bags of animal food or baby bottles to offer the animals in our many petting areas. Snack Shacks provide our visitors with treats for themselves like hot dogs, nachos, chips and drinks.
The Park’s amphitheater, picnic shelters, pavilion, and an inside loft area are available for group events like birthday parties, reunions and company picnics.
From mid-November into the New Year, Hollywild hosts its annual benefit event, the Holiday Lights Safari. Guests from around the nation as well as international visitors have come to drive through the park to see the millions of lights that turn the park into a real winter wonderland. While driving through, they can experience the Enchanted Deer Forest where deer, zebra, and cattle come to be hand-fed right from the car! Visitors then stop at Santa’s Village, a spot for fun where they can roam through animal barns and petting areas and have their photos made with Santa, play with Santa’s baby animals, or hang around the bonfire sipping cocoa with friends.
Sneak a peek at what Hollywild has to offer by visiting us (and our webcam!) online at hollywild.org or checking out our Facebook page. Once you visit us in person, you’re sure to become a fan, too! Season memberships and corporate sponsorships are ways to support the park and its animals while making a deeper connection to the Hollywild family.
Come Experience The Heart of Hollywild!
