Our Reviews
K McG2025-07-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with very nice and informative staff. Food was good too! Robyn Sturk2025-06-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn and to have fun! It is a smaller facility with once a month pubic tours, but otherwise by appointment. We appreciated the excellent talks given by the rangers. Also, don't miss the opportunity to symbolically adopt a wolf or other animal. This is a much better place to adopt than World Wildlife Foundation because you can actually meet the animal and visit him/her. There are opportunities to help such as donating raw meat and even marshmallows! Josh Stevens2025-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family friendly, and a very special experience Emily Chavez2025-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited the ranch today for a birthday party, and it was an incredible experience. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, knowledgeable, and truly accommodating. It was clear that everyone there is passionate about educating guests and providing a safe, nurturing environment for the animals. We also discovered a designated camping area and are already looking forward to returning for an overnight stay. Highly recommended!

They were building a new enclosure which would increase the amount of animals they can support and give them better educational experiences so please consider checking them out! Wolves are amazing!
