Reviewers frequently praise the center's professional staff, clean facilities, and free educational programs, noting that visitors can observe rehabilitated animals and walk extensive park trails. Many highlight the facility's responsiveness to injured wildlife, with some receiving updates on released animals or borrowing live traps for nuisance species. However, low-star reviews criticize the staff for perceived incompetence, citing instances where animals were euthanized quickly without adequate explanation or the opportunity to seek alternative care.

Found a broken squirrel in my driveway. Made a call, left a voicemail, and they got back in a very reasonable amount of time. Had to gather the poor squirrel up and drive it there myself, but that is my only complaint. Its amazing there are places like this and they help with things like this. Double karma to folks like you!!!!!!

It's a nice park, there are a lot of trials to walk. The wildlife center itself had a bunch of animals as well at the wilderness center which was a surprise, a nice surprise.

Amazing place and kind people. We brought an injured hawk to the center and visited while we waited. We enjoyed the small indoor and outdoor exhibits and seeing the animals.

The center has animals being rehabilitated in the back and other displays and animals inside. The outside area in the back is open longer than the inside portion, so don’t be dissuaded from coming even if inside is closed. The grounds are lovely as well with multiple trails to walk. The trails are all pet friendly - you just can’t take pets into the center areas with animals (inside or outside). We review a lot of our travels, including random stops that lead to unique finds like this, on our podcast - Marrying Your Passions: The DINK Travel & Adventure Podcast. I am certain the Wildlife Conservation Center will get a mention because of how unexpected and fun it was!

She called the conservation center and the very next morning we took the bird to be taken care of they all was very nice respectful kind and they also give you updates on the animal you took in to have care after dropping the bird off. We enjoyed walking around, looking at all the wildlife my one year-old had a great time here.

Terribly incompetent at pretty much everything
The work they do is amazing. Not only for the wildlife sanctuary but for helping take rescued orphan possums, that I brought in today.
Great location and great people who do hard but very great work.
