Wagon Trails Safari

[SusScrofa]

Wagon Trails Safari is a small animal park in Vienna, OH that offers wagon "safari" rides. Never been here, but from what I see they mostly have domestic animals and common wild ones like zebra, bison, ostrich and elk.

This is the final season they will be open and will close September 5, so any zoochatter from the east Ohio/Pittsburgh area who wanted to fulfill a bucket-list wish visiting here better do it soon.

Would you know if it at any point was called Wagon Wheel Safari?

As far as I know, it was always Wagon Trails Animal Park. Why?

There's a zoo on here by that name which has absolutely no info and when I search for it on google Wagon Trail Safari is the only result that comes up. Was just trying to confirm if they're the same.

I saw that! I am so curious. As far as I know, it has always been Wagon Trails Animal Park. I am not sure who added that...
