Now - Oct. 31
7:30 - 9 a.m.
Kick your mornings off right starting April 1! Wild Wellness Walkers, sponsored by The Toledo Clinic, returns for its third year, inviting guests to explore four designated walking paths on Zoo grounds. Stroll past beautiful native plants and historic buildings, possibly get a glimpse of animal residents and see your support in action as our team prepares the Zoo for the day. A complimentary water and coffee station will also be available.
Registration is FREE and open to both members and non-members. All walkers are asked to register in advance, even if you have participated in past years. New name badges will be printed for everyone, but if you have a lanyard from a previous season, please bring it to reuse.
Name badges and lanyards for new walkers will be available at the Anthony Wayne Trail and Broadway entrances. Free parking is available in both lots until 9 a.m.
Thank you for your support and participation. We look forward to seeing you on the trails this season!
Please note: Wild Wellness Walkers program is unavailable on May 17 for the Dart Frog Dash 5K.

Join us on Fridays for the popular Stroll with a Doc program sponsored by The Toledo Clinic. Walkers can meet with a physician each Friday at 8 a.m. in the Zoo's Anthony Wayne Trail entry plaza. 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.
