A visit to the Grizzly and Wolf Discover Center is absolutely worth it! The animals are kept outdoors in as natural an environment as possible. They are close enough to observe carefully and obviously content, because they seem unconcerned about the people taking photos. Two bear were playing while we were there, which thrilled the crowd. The wolves are beautiful... More

This was a fun place with good educational exhibits, and an opportunity to see the grizzlies and wolves up close! It was snowing and really cold outside when we went, so we mostly had to stay indoors, but they had a indoor area with glass panels with great views of the wolves. The animals were active and healthy-looking, and it... More

The museum part is interesting and informative. But I spent most of my day sitting on the park bench watching the grizzlies roll, play and eat. Then the 2 wolf packs started howling at the police sirens... wow! My arm hairs were standing straight up for hours after that. More

We had a bit of time to spare and decided to go to the Center. For a start it is only $10.50 and it is a 2 day pass so we can go back tomorrow. It was good to see grizzlies and wolves so close up. More

The bear are in a large area that allows them to play and behave like they would in the wild. Not at all like a zoo, where the animals are lethargic. More

Very educational and as it was during the first week of the new year we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The guides were informative and friendly. More

Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center is an amazing place. There is so much you can learn. You get up close and personal with the animals and can watch them play and forage. You can tell the animals are very comfortable and happy in their enviroments. All the animals house at the center would have otherwise been euthanized but the people... More

Made a visit here as we did't see wolves or Grizzlies in Yellowstone N.P but the bears were superb & the wolves were fun to watch. You can watch the wolves from inside a heated room if it is a cold day. It has large glass windows to view them. The Grizzly bears & wolves were well looked after &... More
