Sign up for one of their twice daily "Wolf Watches" - very informative. The wolves seem happy and are very well taken care of. If you're lucky, you'll hear them howl - a real experience, not to be missed. More

Where can you see wolves in packs in a contained environment? They are beautiful creatures. Best time to go there is when their coats are full (Nov-March). The fox and bobcat also like it there, More

My husband surprised me with a visit the the Preserve and I loved every minute of it! The wolves were raised by hand and not skittish around people. It was the photo opportunity of a lifetime and I can't wait to go back. The wolves are magnificent! Hearing them howl is just something amazing to behold. Love, love, loved it!" More

Incredible and up close. The wolves may be watching us instead of the other way around. Gone there many times. The HOWLING is primal to say the least. More

I took my 5yr old son to this attraction of the mid-winter break. We loved it and learned so much information from the owners. The wolves, foxes, and bobcats are all well loved and cared after. You can see the passion the owners have for the conservation and care for these animals. There is a shuttle bus that takes from... More

If you’ve never been just a few feet away from one of nature’s top predators then don’t miss this chance. You will see and hear these striking animals in their own environment and discover the meaning behind the name Lakota. More

We heard about Lakota Wolf Preserve from a conservation newsletter we get and decided to check it out. You don't need reservations on the weekend, but you do if you're going during the week. In the winter you have to call ahead to see if they're open or going to be open because the preserve is on top of a... More
