I live just a couple of miles from here and visit often. Very relaxing place for a stroll and to enjoy nature. Blinds offer awesome viewing and you'll see a wide variety of species. Boardwalks scattered about at to the experience. Hidden gem right in our backyard.

We have enjoyed Wheeler Wildlife for MANY YEARS. In fact out children were greatly influenced by their wildlife education from here. Great scout trips or fun visits with us it was all enjoyed. The observation room is great. Outdoor walkways with various looking terrain like flat or swampy places. Cyprus stumps are interesting how they grow. Just a really cool place!

Really nice refuge. Whooping cranes were present. One negative is that there was no wildlife drive. That would have made viewing much easier

We dropped the teenager at the water park and the 3 adults sped our time at the wildlife park and at Cooks and we really enjoyed ourselves. If u have half a day and want to relax, come here. Watch the birds, walk to the lake, and see the short film u will enjoy it.

The Wheeler Wildlife Refuge is a combination of an outside and inside adventure. The inside offers life-size views of the local animals in a natural habitat. There is also a video shown of the birds in the Refuge. A hands on display lets one handle different items found there-like turtle shells, feathers, snake skins,etc. The outside has a short walk to an inside observation building with two telescopes to observe ducks, birds and other critters. Other trails can be walked around the main building. Your family will enjoy the walk on the wild side that's not too wild.

While exploring new places, I like to wander onto spots where both my dog and I can be off the leash and just play. Such is Wheeler Wildlife Refuge. You would never know it is there if you weren't really looking for it. Right off of the main interstate roads (and I mean RIGHT off of it) with no fan fare or big signs is a seemingly endless marsh land that is chained off from motorized vehicles...and the more you walk back into its expanse of woodlands, the further away from the sound of 21st "civilization" you get. It's wonderful!It is a great place to stargaze, too. No curfew and no one to bother you. Highly recommended!

If you like quiet walks, or bird watching this is the place to go if you are near Decatur / Priceville AL. The cost is zero. They have a visitors center and an observation building.

Wheeler Refuge was designed from a bunch a flat, faceless land as a sanctuary for waterfowl. This place is wonderful. The Observation Center is fully staffed and a must-do for any trip to the area.

visitor center was not open when we went. It looks like it has been a long time since they did any improvements

I really enjoyed my visit here. It was not peak season, but we still had a great time and saw several birds. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgable. We are definitely going to return during the winter when more wildlife is there. I took my 5th and 2nd graders on a field trip. We homeschool, and we are always looking for inexpensive and educational outings, and you can't get any more inexpensive than free.
