Live Music & Spa
Taylor hopes to have live outdoor music every week in the summer. He plans to add a grain bin bar and fire pits to the property. "If it rains we can always move into the events center."

Reservations for the tents and bungalows will begin soon for the summer season.
The Wild Animal Park opens for the season on Saturday, April 6.
