Now - Oct. 31
7:30 - 9 a.m.
Take your daily walk to the next level as a Wild Wellness Walker! Explore four designated walking paths on Zoo grounds. Enjoy beautiful native plants and flowers as you walk among treasured buildings and exhibits. Visit our complimentary water and coffee station as you start your day with a brisk walk or casual stroll. Unlike your typical park trail, you will see your support at work as our Zoo team prepares to open the Zoo for the day. Walkers may also get a glimpse of some wildlife as our animals also begin their day!
Registration is FREE and open to both Zoo members and non-members. All walkers, including 2023 participants, are asked to register in advance as a Wild Wellness Walker. Name badges and lanyards will be produced and distributed at both the Anthony Wayne Trail and Broadway entrances upon their first visit. Please note that buildings and animal exhibits will be closed during walking hours.

Stroll with a Doc

Doctors from different fields will take a two-mile walk with interested Wild Wellness Walkers and talk about a featured topic each week. Walkers are encouraged to ask questions and get advice from The Toledo Clinic physicians as they get their morning walk in.
