Visit Wildlings

Wildlings Forest Animal Sanctuary offers small, intentional visits for those who want to spend time with rescued farmed animals, hear their stories, and experience the sanctuary in a more personal way.

Whether you join us for a family-friendly tour, tea beneath the trees, or a summer evening date night, each visit is designed to support the animals while creating space for connection, curiosity, and a little sanctuary magic.

Because Wildlings is first and foremost a home for rescued animals, all visits are limited, scheduled in advance, and centered around the comfort and safety of our residents..

Sanctuary Tours

Our sanctuary tours are a simple, meaningful way to experience Wildlings with family or friends. Guests are invited to walk the sanctuary with a member of our team, meet some of our residents, hear how they came to us, and learn more about the daily realities of rescue and lifelong care.

Tours are family-friendly, relaxed, and best suited for small groups who want to spend a little time in the forest getting to know the animals who call Wildlings home.

Details:

  • Offered on select Friday evenings and Saturdays

  • Small groups only

  • Advance reservation required

  • Suggested donation: $50 per group

  • All guests must complete a liability waiver prior to visiting

Tea at Wildlings

Tea at Wildlings is a cozy sanctuary experience designed for guests who want something a little softer, slower, and more intimate than a standard tour.

Join us at the sanctuary table for tea, light seasonal bites, and time to enjoy the beauty of Wildlings before or after a guided sanctuary visit. Depending on the season and the needs of the residents, your experience may include tea in the garden, a simple grazing board, and introductions to some of the animals whose care your visit helps support.

Tea at Wildlings is family-friendly, though best suited for small groups who can enjoy a calm and respectful sanctuary environment.

Details:

  • Offered on select Fridays and Saturdays

  • Best for small groups

  • Includes tea, light seasonal bites, and a guided sanctuary visit

  • Pricing available upon request

  • Advance reservation and signed waiver required

Date Night at Wildlings

For those looking for something a little more magical, we offer a limited number of Date Nights at Wildlings—an adults-only evening experience designed for slower conversation, good food, and sanctuary time beneath the trees.

Date Night at Wildlings includes a private or semi-private sanctuary visit, a seasonal grazing board, and your choice of tea, wine, or beer. Think of it as a quiet evening in the forest with rescued animals nearby, a table set just for two, and the chance to support the sanctuary in a deeply tangible way.

This experience is ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, visiting guests, or simply a different kind of date night rooted in compassion, beauty, and the soft chaos of sanctuary life.

Details:

  • Offered on limited Friday or Saturday evenings during the summer

  • Adults only

  • Includes a grazing board, sanctuary visit, and tea, wine, or beer

  • Advance reservation required

  • Signed waiver required for all guests

Good to know before you visit

Wildlings is a working animal sanctuary, not a petting zoo. The comfort, health, and safety of our residents always come first, and every visit is guided by what is best for the animals on that day.

Before booking, please keep the following in mind:

  • All visits must be scheduled in advance

  • Every guest is required to complete a liability waiver before arriving

  • Wildlings is an active sanctuary with uneven ground, mud, weather, and working farm infrastructure

  • Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended

  • Interactions with animals are never guaranteed and always depend on resident comfort, safety, and sanctuary conditions

  • Children are welcome for family-friendly experiences, but all minors must be supervised at all times

  • We ask guests to arrive ready to move gently, listen well, and respect that this is the animals’ home

Book or Inquire

At this time, sanctuary visits are offered in limited numbers so that we can protect the animals’ routines and balance the sanctuary’s day-to-day care needs.
