Wolves are neat. But it's just a few, not really a natural setting. Very personal place. The area is neat, though. More

A very informative presentation. The wolves are protected by the people who work there, and the care is obvious. And the wolves are so precious. More

Went here for my son's field trip and it was very interesting. Knowledgeable staff; had a good sense of humor and great with kids. Only a yucky porta-potty, so use bathrooms first! More

We did the Wolf Experience For 2 in the morning and got to go out in the enclosures and spend time with the wolves for an hour after talking with the owner for about an hour beforehand. He is a great guy and answered all of our questions. He is really passionate about what he does and very enthusiastic. I... More

This place was amazing. Very clean and the wolves are obviously well cared. The guide was passionate and informative, taking great pains to explain the plight of wolves and what the audience could do to make an impact. This wasn't a circus situation, or some kind of animal side show. It's a reputable not-for-profit with knowledgeable staff and volunteers who... More

Our family, two adults and two young kids, thoroughly enjoyed our wolf visit. The information was so interesting and seeing the wolfs up-close was even more fascinating. From other reviewers, we were worried that the employees would be rude to our kids, but they were quite the opposite. The "Wolf Hollow" staff was welcoming to all the kids, even encouraging... More

In Ipswich,Mass. the gates of Wolf Hollow open at 1p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Wolf Hollow is a wolf sanctuary started by Paul Soffron of Ipswich. Ipswich is known as the clam capital of the world but it should also take credit for one of the best educational facilities. The entry fee is very reasonable.On the day I visited there... More

Not a family friendly establishment! Although the wolves are beautiful, the owner is very abrasive and nasty. She screamed and at my 8 year old son because he was laughing that one of the pups was pooping. What eight year old boy is not going to think that is funny? When I say yelled I mean it. She told him... More
