Wolf Park is a education and research facility which is home to several packs of gray wolves,coyotes,foxes and bison.
Visitors can see wolves at close range living in a large 6.75 acre naturalistic enclosure and receive a lecture about wolves in general. Daytime tours of the facilities include a walking tour.
Wolf-Bison Demonstrations -- This one-of-a-kind demonstration is held each Sunday afternoon during open season, May-November (weather permitting) . Visitors have the opportunity to watch what happens when predator meets prey. Bison are the most formidable prey wolves will meet in the wild and healthy bison, like those at the park, have nothing to fear. Visitors will be able to see how wolves test their prey for weakness and how the bison defend themselves and their calves by chasing the wolves away. Although no animals are ever injured, you will be given a unique insight in how wolves hunt and how difficult it is to be a predator in the wild. The presentation begins at 1pm and is followed by the demonstration itself at 2pm.
