Reviews

While it’s not huge but the experience is incredibly impactful. You could really tell that the staff and organization have a sincere concern for animals. We learned a lot from the exhibits and staff. Special shout out to Tegan (sp) who was so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s nice that this place is a non-profit so you know they’re in it for the right reasons. As a bonus your day pass is actually good for two days so we went back again the second day. Very highly recommended.

This small AZA accredited facility focuses exclusively on Yellowstone's wildlife. Which means the climate and foliage in the spacious enclosures is perfect for simulating the animals' natural environment! The zookeepers also provide foraging and enrichment opportunities throughout the day so the animals are actively engaging with their habitats and using their brains. Though it is a little zoo, if you stay for longer than an hour you will see at least the bears receive fresh foraging opportunities as they rotate through the display habitat throughout the day. There are outdoor and warmed indoor viewing spots if you visit in winter. The educational content provided by the staff was great - more Yellowstone guests could benefit from hearing and seeing firsthand why it's so important to keep wildlife unhabituated to humans! The admission price gets you in for 2 days so it's a great deal. You can visit after or before you enter Yellowstone National Park two days in a row. If you are a photographer, the bear habitats are backlit in the morning, and the wolf habitats across from them are backlit in the evening.

Worth the stop if it's not too busy! Habitats looked well constructed, safe, and fun for the animals while still giving us a good view. We thoroughly enjoyed the wolves and the otters! They have very informative exhibits to learn as well.

We took our 3 children to visit the Grizzly and Wolf discovery center. We had already spotted 1 wolf and 6 bears wild in the park, so this was a chance to see them up close and learn more about them. It didn't disappoint. It was nice to hear the back story on the Grizzlies, and to better understand why they would be a danger to humans in the wild. They seemed well cared for, fat and happy. Excellent chance to augment your distant photo's in the park with some close up action. Some of the wolves were doing the zoo Pacing thing, (up and down a small section of their fence) which made me a bit sad, but overall we had a great time.
