fun animal experiences
The good news is that you don’t have to walk in the jungles, icy waters, rainforests, mountains, pine tree forests, or beaches to meet animals up close.
You can go to the most interactive zoo in the midwest —a place where you can experience animals up close from all over the world.
A place that’s built around immersing you in your favorite animals’ homes…
A place where you can get close and even interact with animals through animal experiences and animal attractions.
It’s scientifically proven that when animals surround us, there are unlimited benefits to our health, such as:
Decreasing stress and pain, reducing loneliness, calming anxiety, boost of mood, increasing happiness, developing compassion and empathy (vital for children)
Are you curious how we know that? Because we have experienced all this first-hand. We are Tanganyika Wildlife Park – a family-owned wildlife park built from the ground up with all the love we give to the animals. But we are much more than a breeding facility.

Our Search For the Best Wildlife Adventure

about TWP

Matt’s parents’ dream was to build a world-class breeding facility for rare and endangered animals. His parents, Jim and Sherri, built the first barn in 1985, and the home of Tanganyika Wildlife Park was established.


“As a kid, I grew up with some of the rarest animals in the world in my
backyard. It wasn’t a big deal to have giraffes and tigers. I took them for granted and even considered them a chore.” Matt said.


In 2000, the Fouts family started doing guided tours of the breeding facility. It was wildly successful (pun intended), so they decided to build a zoo from the ground up. On Aug 2, 2008, Tanganyika Wildlife Park officially opened with 15 exhibits and three interactive areas.
