Call of the Wild Museum 850 South Wisconsin Avenue, Gaylord, MI 49735

"It was really neat. They have a nice gift shop as well. Some of the taxidermy is fantastic quality."

"We went for the go karts and had a blast. My grandson didn't have quite as much fun because his cart didn't have enough oomph. The lack of speed took the fun out of it for him. The young man there took time to explain everything to my 11 year old granddaughter. She was terrified but ended up loving it. Overall, it was a good experience. For $8 each, it's cheap fun."

"Great family place. The staff was so sweet and helpful. I have 4 little girls and this place was truly an adventure for them. They loved the scavenger hunt. But seeing the animals and listening to how they sound was their favorite thing. We will definitely be back. It was well worth the drive in a snow storm."

"I had an amazing time at this museum! Wonderful stories, beautiful artwork, incredibly informational, and very engaging. The animal scenes were fascinating and I learned so much about Michigan and its wildlife. I’m looking forward to going back with friends one day; I went on a solo adventure for my first time and had a blast. It was cheap to get in ($7.50 adult) and I stayed about 2 hours to take my time and enjoy… but you could definitely get through the exhibits in 45min-1hr. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend for all ages. I visited in February on a Tuesday around 1pm. I was the only one there when I arrived and the staff was lovely! They were all incredibly nice and helpful. I also wanted to note for parents and individuals in need of assistance that they do offer strollers and wheelchairs for their guests! For children they have a discovery section with interactive, stimulatory actives, a room with a wildlife film playing (& children’s music), and with most animal exhibits they include buttons that will play sound effects! I can’t remember the children’s prices but I know under 5 was free. For locals and local families you can also purchase a yearly pass for like $15! The gift shop was awesome too. I included some photos I took to help with visualization, but if you have the opportunity to go you absolutely should!"
