Went to the Wolf Centre to try dog sledding. OMG!!! I had such a great time. This was one of the best Xmas presents that I have ever received. Dog sledding through the forest was so spectacular. What a rush. This is something EVERYONE has to try at least once.

Brilliant time! Weather was pretty bad on the way up so I was the only one that turned up and ended up going out just me and Dave the guide on two sleds. Was wearing too many clothes so running up some of the hills was heavy going in the 4 in of powder that they had that morning, but... More

we went for the half day dog sledding tour and it was amazing. Our guide Kim was friendly, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. The trails were gorgeous, and other than 1 really large hill it was reasonable for first timers. We rented one of the cabins on the property and were pleased. it was small and outdated, but clean. Our only... More

If you only do this once in your life, it'll be worth it. The experience - from the start, as some of the hundreds of dogs in the Forest are harnessed - until you arrive back at base and are escorted through the kennel homes of these beautiful (and friendly) animals, is first-rate. The guides are knowledgeable and willing to... More

A great place to stretch your legs with lots of walking trails and wildlife. The fall colors of the trees were spectacular.

GO and see the wolves!!! a really great trip for family and kids to see these amazing creatures in a natural enclosure. Although they are wolves, they are completely harmless as all of them have been raised in captivity for their protection and of the species in general....still... amazing to get to see all of them

We have been to this wolf reserve several times. What you can expect is to see wolves at extremely close range in their own environment. You are separated by reflective glass and are housed in the centre. Both times we have gone have been in the summer and there have been young pups to see. Once we saw a bird... More

i didn't realize the wolf centre was on tripadvisor or i'd've certainly left a review long since! we brought my daughter, then 5yrs old (she's nearly 6 now) and it was just wonderful. the hands-on activities were great - she wasn't too certain about the mounted exhibits but she really liked all the touchy-feely stuff while i had fun with...

We visited the Haliburton Forest last February to do some snowmobiling and had a great time. We stayed in one of the on site rooms and it was functional and clean. We ate each night at the on site restaurant and the food was very good. We have booked again for the upcoming season and are looking forward to it.

We had a great time exploring the trails. Not sure about the classification of some of the trails - some moderate seemed extreme whilst other moderates wide & gentle & very easy. However it was a great day & very good to improve bike handling skills!
