    Parakeet, feeding sticks for purchase in the gift shop!

    We took our students to Wendt's Wildlife Adventure today for one of our summer activities, and I couldn't be more in love with this place! The facility & staff: Coordinating with their staff was seamless - they were very organized & accommodating. Everyone was so kind and they made sure we knew they were there if we needed anything. The facility is well kept and they have a large variety of animals, all who look well taken care of. From a supervising perspective, any traffic is monitored well with having one entrance & exit. The layout is straightforward, which made it easy for the kids to navigate and allows safe exploration. It's simple, but that feeling of safety and peace of mind given by their setup takes a load off. The activities: In addition to all the animals and super fun parakeet encounter, they have a nice creek & cute splash pad, swings, slides, plenty of outdoor seating areas if you want to do a picnic lunch or need to sit, and even Daniel Boone's last home in KY (self guided tour, super cool). And they have a great gift shop with plenty of affordable items & cold treats! If you're a parent or ever plan events for kids, I couldn't recommend it more. It's an absolutely beautiful space that is local, safe, affordable, and fun!

    Very great animal sanctuary. Ample spaced enclosures for the animals. Friendly staff, healthy and happy looking animals.

    Early November was a great time to visit this nature preserve. It was not overcrowded and the…read moreentry fee was just $5 for me and free for my 3 year old. It was the perfect amount of exhibits/animals for a young kid/toddler. We explored at a very leisurely pace and we were there for about 2 hours.

    This is a hidden gem in Frankfort, KY. More than twenty years ago I visited this site with my…read morehusband and kids. I put it off of my bucket list of places to revisit at that time. It was next to nothing but a nice place to stroll around a lake and feed the ducks. This summer when my daughter and grandson came to town they requested that we forego our annual trip to the Louisville Zoo and give the Salato Wildlife Education Center a try. We went there and my expectations were extremely low. I was pleasantly surprised at the changes that occurred since I was here last. The small museum utilizes every nook and cranny with exhibits It is very informative yet fun for all. Then after making the circle through the museum we exited the rear door to the outside and began our leisurely stroll down paths and around loops to see all the live wildlife. Even though there were multiple families visiting at the same time the grounds absorbed the people so you didn't feel like you were in a crowd. There are many opportunities for kids to have a hands on feel for the subject matters. So the $5. for adults and the $3. for kids was well worth our afternoon visit to the center. Woohoo, I'll be back on my own just to walk the grounds again.
