Wonders  of  Wildlife  Tremendous  Value  for  Families  and  Children    

 Memberships  and  ticket  prices  are  an  incredible  value  for  guests  visiting  Wonders  of  Wildlife,  the  largest  and  most  immersive  attraction  of  its  kind  in  the  world.      All  prices  reflect  a  tremendous  savings  compared  to  other  major  aquariums,  museums  and  attractions  across  America.    

•   Memberships  provide  the  best  value  Memberships  offer  families  and  individuals  unlimited  visits  for  a  full  year.  Guests  can  “try  before  you  buy”  with  general  admission  tickets  that  can  be  upgraded  to  a  full  membership  following  your  visit.    

•   Great  for  Kids  A  children’s  combo  ticket  price  is  15  percent  lower  than  the  national  average  for  major  aquariums,  museums  and  attractions,  and  more  than  50  percent  lower  than  popular  attractions  in  the  region.    

•   Bigger  than  the  Smithsonian  At  350,000  square-­feet,  Wonders  of  Wildlife  is  larger  than  the  Smithsonian  Museum  of  Natural  History  in  Washington,  D.C.    

•   Unprecedented  in  scale  and  scope  Wonders  of  Wildlife  offers  one  of  the  largest  and  most  diverse  collections  of  wildlife  anywhere.  Guests  can  encounter  35,000  live  fish,  mammals,  reptiles,  amphibians  and  birds  representing  800  species  along  1.5  miles  of  immersive  trails,  exhibits  and  displays.      

•   Excellent  family  value  Families  can  spend  hours  exploring  Wonders  of  Wildlife  with  a  typical  visit  lasting  at  least  three  hours  or  more.  Compared  with  the  price  of  a  movie,  a  round  of  miniature  golf  or  other  area  attractions,  it  offers  an  excellent  value  for  families.    

•   Invest  in  education  and  entertainment    Wonders  of  Wildlife  is  dedicated  to  inspiring  the  next  generation  of  outdoor  stewards  with  a  fun,  interactive  and  engaging  experience  that  appeals  to  visitors  of  all  ages.  In  addition  to  encountering  more  than  800  species  representing  wildlife  from  around  the  world,  guests  will  learn  about  the  history  of  the  conservation  movement  and  the  vital  role  everyone  plays  in  protecting  habitat  and  wildlife.    

•   Bigger  and  better  than  ever  before  The  all-­new  Wonders  of  Wildlife  is  more  than  three  times  larger  than  the  original  facility  with  an  unprecedented  collection  of  wildlife  and  fully  immersive  exhibits  that  offer  a  truly  world-­class  experience  for  guests.  We  proudly  invite  everyone  to  come  experience  this  new  destination  for  themselves.  For  additional  information,  download  the  new  Insider’s  Guide  at  www.wondersofwildlife.org/tickets.
