Wildlife Prairie State Park

Wildlife Prairie State Park's mission is one of conservation, education and recreation. Wildlife Prairie is proud to host most of the native mammal species that once called Illinois home. Their enclosures were designed with their nature habitats in mind. From the 86-acre pasture of the extirpated bison and elk to the more rare in the wild, species such as cougars and river otters, to the threatened black bears or our eastern timber wolf pack, you're sure to see something that touches your inner self. We even have some of the more common species such as coyotes and red foxes. And our pioneer farmstead allows petting of goats and sheep. Wildlife Prairie also is home to many eagles, hawks, and owls as well as our iconic bison. The park hosts many educational and outreach programs plus many special events throughout the year.

General Admission (April -- October) is $7 for ages 13 & up, $5 for ages 4-12, and free for ages 3 & under as well as for WPSP Members. Discounted Admission is in effect during March, November & December where ages 13 & up are admitted for $6, ages 4-12 for $4 and is free for ages 3 & under as well as WPSP Members. Carload Day is Wednesday where $18 admits an entire carload. * These rates do not apply to special event pricing.
