Our trip into the Yukon included a stop into the Yukon Wildlife Preserve. They offer to tours: one is a self-guided walking tour (about 5k), and the other is a bus tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. The Yukon Wildlife Preserve had elk, wood bison, mule deer, stone and dall sheep, musk ox, mountain goats, lynx, arctic fox, caribou, moose,... More

About 25 miles or so north of Whitehorse is this wildlife sanctuary housing animals of the arctic region. These include wood bisons which have been reintroduced to Yukon from Northern Alberta and NWT, caribou, elk, mule deer, thin horned sheep, dall sheep, musk oxen, mountain goats, moose, arctic fox,and lynx. The lynx were hiding but all the rest we had... More

This is a wonderful example of a place working hard to preserve natural animals of the Yukon. I was impressed by the facilities, and although the walk was quite long and took a few hours, it was well worth it to see animals in a somewhat natural environment. Kudos for the work you do!

A well ordered and extensive site which displays all the local Yukon wild animals in an easily viewable habitat within a 5km roundtrip. Knowledgeable and friendly staff too!

We spent a few hours there. The area was much larger than I had expected. But it is a nice walk and it was a beautiful, crystal clear winter's day. You get a map at the office and off you go to see the Musk Oxen, Lynx and all the others. We saw quite few animals in the wild during... More

The preserve has native species of the north. You wont see them anywhere else. so go see it. and it might be very cold so go prepared.

Visiting the Wildlife Preserve in winter is an amazing experience. The animals have their winter coats and the scenery is stunning. You can take a leisurely stroll, catch the bus or even cross country ski. Most of us will never see an Arctic Fox in its white coat or the amazing musk oxen so this is the place for these... More

It's often possible to get up close to some of the local animals, despite the huge areas they are all housed in. The preserve is very well kept and the animals are mostly rescues or born there. Your entrance fee helps with costs. There is a bus tour or it can be done on foot. Really worth it!

This attraction is reasonably priced for a day out. It's great to see the wildlife of the Yukon on display in naturalistic habitats. This attraction is open year round, so you can walk, or in winter ski or snowshoe around. For a couple of extra dollars you can also take the bus tour. Look-outs over the enclosures have been set...
