Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

Wheeling Wild at the Zoo (leisurely bicycle rides)

Sharing is caring!

Are you looking for a fun and safe place for your family to ride their bikes? How about the Sedgwick County Zoo? Their Wheeling Wild bike club events are an affordable and family-friendly option.

Wheeling Wild (formerly known as Wheeling Wild Wednesdays) is designed to be a leisurely bike ride for all ages. A guide leads the ride around the zoo. Look for a registration link below.

Small children are welcome as long as they’re either riding a bike, in a bike seat, or in an attached wagon. Children must be accompanied by an adult, of course.

 

Wheeling Wild Info from the Sedgwick County Zoo Website

“Join us for a bike club designed for leisurely riders. It doesn’t matter if you are young or young at heart, come out and get some air! All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Everyone must ride a bicycle; small children may ride in a bike seat or an attached wagon. Rides take place each month 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. All rides begin and conclude at Zoo admissions. Class registration closes at 4 p.m. on the day of class. All rides will be held rain or shine.

Terms and Conditions: Each person over the age of six months who attends any education program must have a ticket. Space is limited. Tickets will be scanned at the door. All classes take place rain or shine. Your purchase serves as your permission for use of your image by Sedgwick County Zoo. All reservations are final. The ticket may not be copied or resold and may be used only once. Tickets will not be replaced if lost, stolen or unused. No refunds.

It’s great to find cycling events that families can join. And it’s very affordable! The one-time option is only $7 per person ($6 for zoo members).

I’ve gathered all the Sedgwick County Zoo deals throughout the year so you can easily find the best times to visit for less. As a Wichita mom with two daughters, I know how fast costs add up, so I’m always looking for ways to help families enjoy more while spending less. That’s the heart of Wichita on the Cheap, helping our community live the good life without breaking the budget.
