The response to TROLLS: Save the Humans has been incredible, and The Wild Center is experiencing some of the highest visitation in our history. We can't wait to welcome you—here's how to make the most of your day.
Expect lines during peak times. On busy days, especially weekends and mornings, you may wait at admissions and encounter crowds along the trails and at the troll installations.
Parking: On non-school days, after our main parking lot and meadow parking lots are filled, we're using overflow parking at LP Quinn Elementary School (294 Hosley Ave) to accommodate the extra cars. Watch for signs as you approach campus and follow staff and posted directions.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility.
