The Wye Marsh Wildlife Center is full of all kind of Canadian Wildlife....not in cages but in their own habitat. You can take a guided canoe ride through the marsh and experience the wild birds, fish, frogs and the beautiful trumpeter swans.. Not up for a canoe ride - stroll along the boardwalk out into the marsh and dip net some of the living creatures from the marsh waters for a closer look, then release them back into the wild. The Birds of Prey are awesome to see, they`ll even let you have them land on your arm. Inside the Wildlife center is full of attractions, information and pamphlets, lots of room to meet your friends.You can even book a wedding ceremony on site, either inside the centre or outside in the marsh or covered enclosure.Truly an amazing outing for people of all ages

The trails at the Wye Marsh are, in my mind, the best in Ontario. There are some 25 km of usually well groomed and track set sets running through the bush. Along the trails the slier will often be accosted by many hungry chickadees looking for seeds (great fun!) and you will see the tracks of many other animals. In sum, these are great trails for recreational skiers. I use them as much as I can. There is a day use fee but many of us are members which allows unlimited access.

Took my grandson who was entriged with the owls, the info session on bee keeping and the nature trails. We canued through the march with a guide who explained the uses of native plants and about the aquatic fowls, fish and turtles.

A trip through one of the truly unspoiled nature sites where critters flourish and the opportunity to see trumpeter swans is assured. A pleasant stroll through a wooded area onto a boardwalk that takes you deep into the marsh. You need to be mobile as some trails require walking paths through the woods. An education of the local flora and fauna and depending on the time of year, migratory birds are regularly spotted. I enjoy the chattering of the chick-a-dees ,who by the way will often eat from your hand. Turtles are common and a great indoor viewing area is an added bonus. The gift shop offers a variety of items to purchase to refresh memories of your visit. I enjoy visiting several times a year as the marsh takes on seasonal beauty.

I hadn't been to the Wye Marsh since I was a kid on a school trip and really didn't remember much about it but a WagJag deal came on and it fit our budget for a day trip. I figured we'd spend a few hours looking at trees and frogs, the kids would get bored/hot/tired and we'd leave to find a park for the kids to play at. I was ssooooo wrong!My kids (8,6 and 3 yrs old) loved it. We spent over 5 hours there and the kids didn't want to leave. The highlight was the 'birds of prey' demonstration during which ALL the kids in the audience got to put on the handling glove and have the hawk fly down to land on their arm. Not just a 'one special volunteer' but ALL the kids!!!! That one thing has become the highlight of my kids summer and they still talk about it very enthusiastically.We did the guided canoe tour (where I mistakenly thought that it meant the guides paddled and we toured so thought it would be nice, relaxing break -- wrong, they hand everyone a paddle) and even my three year old was captivated and entertained throughout by all the frogs, fish, birds, plants and trailing her fingers in the water to 'catch' stuff.We saw them open up a bee hive to show us how honey is made, we walked the trails, we touched, we saw, we learned so much and most importantly the kids had a blast and want to go back!!!

We had a great time at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre on a late August weekend afternoon. We definitely recommend the canoe trip. We went with guide Nick, saw lots of frogs, some turtles, and learned some new things about the plants (and natural poison ivy remedies) along the way. The nature walk was also interesting and enjoyable, and guide Nick (a different Nick) was friendly and helpful. The “birds of prey” area was, however, rather uncomfortable. Though Nick seemed very well-meaning, it was hard to see the majestic birds locked in small wooden sheds. Some of them were also tethered to perches and seeing one trying to fly off and then having its rope yank it back to the ground was pretty tough to seeSo, in summary: a very good time at Wye Marsh, but ditch the “birds of prey” area!

A few different activities to do and things to check out. Board walk, lookout tower, cross country ski trails, snowshoeing, bird of prey displays and shows etc....

We have gone to Wye Marsh for a couple of years during the Winter. There is cross country skiing, several trails of varying difficulties. There are snow shoes to rent. Also just walking trails for walking through the woods.It is a great place for birding. There are many varieties and people friendly. Several of them will eat sunflowers from your hand. If it is hard for you to get around there is a nice inside viewing area to watch the birds eat from many feeders on the patio. One of the best things to see are the graceful trumpeter swans that are there all year long.Inside the building there are exhibits of a few live animals and exhibits telling about several of the animals that live in the marsh. During certain days of the week there is a show telling about birds of prey.A wonderful place to take a quiet walk and observe nature.

We were looking for something low key to do on a Sunday afternoon and the Wye Marsh was great. Loved seeing the swans, birds and marsh. We couldn't get over how green everything was and the marsh was beautiful with the lilies in bloom on the water. The staff were very friendly and the trails were well marked and easy to follow. It is great that the place is pet friendly and we were able to bring my dog so long as she was on a leash. Overall, a great afternoon and a nice hike.
