Tour Highlights
Learn from the best
Dreaming of a career working with wildlife, or maybe just love animals and want to spend a day in their company? This is a really wonderful opportunity. Learn how their unique and world-renowned keeping techniques prepare wolves for a life in the wild. Also learn how our non-release animals are trained and see them up-close.
Get ready to roll up your sleeves
Make no mistake, it takes work to care for these animals, including lifting, a lot of walking (on uneven ground) and being in the elements (weather, insects, etc.) Rain or shine. We only cancel if the weather is dangerous.
Wear comfortable closed-toed walking shoes (we recommend hiking boots, waterproof boots or tennis shoes), long pants and a comfortable T-shirt that you don’t mind getting dirty. Walking and lifting will be part of the day. Bring lunch and water. A keeper will meet you at the gate at 9 am.

WOW so much to learn! The enrichment experiences were my favorite, of course, but to be focused on a task then suddenly hear the forest begin to echo with a growing chorus of howls…priceless.
