Located in scenic Paoli, close to the famous town of French Lick, is an incredible ranch that is well known for its elephant encounters. Wilstem Ranch offers amazing outdoor animal experiences, and this winter, you can embark on an unforgettable adventure here.
In addition to their famous elephant experience, this ranch features an unforgettable giraffe encounter. This winter, you'll get to witness this same experience with a new twist...
That's right - kangaroos have hopped into the Wilstem Ranch and are now part of the giraffe experience package. You'll spend the first part of your adventure feeding giraffes and taking photos, then move on to the kangaroos.
The Giraffe and Kangaroo Encounter costs $18 per person and is free for kids under 2 years of age. You can also sign up for a more personalized tour of the giraffes and kangaroos for an additional cost. Since it's cold outside, both encounters currently take place in heated buildings, so you won't have to worry about bundling up.
The elephants are currently away from the ranch, but will be returning in March. If you book an elephant encounter along with any other encounter you'll save $10.
Come experience an unforgettable extotic animal encounter at this magical ranch in rural Indiana. You'll find Wilstem Ranch at 4229 W US Highway 150, Paoli, IN 47454. For full details on their encounters, visit their website.
