Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center
|
The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is an AZA Accredited, not-for-profit Wildlife Park and Educational Facility dedicated to providing visitors to the Yellowstone area the unique opportunity to learn about, view and ultimately appreciate the grizzly bear and gray wolf. The bears at the Center had to be removed from the wild because they were becoming dangerously comfortable around humans. Their stories help share a valuable lesson of how people can take the proper steps to ensure bears stay forever wild. The wolves at the Center are ambassadors, providing a greater understanding of this predator in the Yellowstone ecosystem. See LIVE bears and wolves and get a fascinating glimpse into their worlds! Watch the bears forage for food, play in their ponds and with each other. Early morning and evening visitors may witness active wolf packs howling. Activities include: Keeper Kid's (kids help hide food for the bears), Wolf Enrichment, a Karelian Bear Dog, live Bird-of-Prey demonstrations, Safety in Bear Country Programs, Yellowstone Park Ranger talks, intriguing films and staff presentations. Explore Bears: Imagination & Reality, an interactive world-class exhibit. Visit the Naturalist Cabin to see exceptional views of two separate wolf packs through immense floor-to-ceiling windows. Highlights are: daily 'Pack Chats', a National Geographic film on wolves and a life-sized wolf model. Open 365 days a year. GWDC bears do not hibernate! Admission is good for two consecutive days.
