Saturday and Sunday Public Tour

Due to the covid19 pandemic and to ensure the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff, it is with deep regret that we must cancel our public tours throughout May. If you are currently signed up for a May 2020 public tour or if you would like information regarding Private Tours please contact us. We will continue to provide updates via our website and social media.

Public Tours during the weekend are only held once per day on Saturdays and Sundays.

Saturday and Sunday public tours are typically self-guided in which guides are stationed at each pack, providing information about the wolves here as well as information about their biology and conservation. Walk at your own pace to visit the packs and learn about the wolves.

Guests must arrive 15-20 minutes before the start of the tour since the entrance gate will close promptly when the tour begins and no additional guests will be admitted after that time.

• 10AM June through September
• 12PM October through May
• Tours last approximately 1-1.5 hours

Full Moon Fundraiser Event

Our Full Moon Fundraiser Events are a bit different. This is our only age-restricted event – visitors must be 16 or older with proof of age to attend. The event features a roaring bonfire (weather permitting), live entertainment and self-guided tours. Guides are stationed at each pack throughout the event to provide information on the wolves at the sanctuary as well as facts and information about wolf conservation and biology. Bring a blanket, a flashlight, a chair, maybe some hot dogs and marshmallows. Plan to arrive between 7:30 and 8:30PM – no guests admitted after 8:30PM. We hope you will come. We always have fun, and it’s always about the wolves.

We reccomend vistors bring the following:

• The tour is held rain, snow, or shine, so dress accordingly. Check our facebook page for extreme weather cancellations. PLEASE wear good walking shoes.
• Water is provided in the gift shop through the generosity of our volunteer staff. On warm days please bring extra water just in case.
• During Full Moon Tours, you may bring chairs, blankets, non-alcoholic refreshments and hot dogs or marshmallows for roasting (please bring your own sticks).
• Bring a flashlight as the tour will take place in the evening with limited light availability and you will be walking on uneven ground. Please avoid shining lights directly towards the wolves.
• For teens and young adults visiting for the Full Moon Event, please bring proof of age – guests must be 16 or older for admission.

What Not to Bring:

• No pets allowed on the property. Please leave your pets at home.
• Alcohol is NOT permitted.
• Photography lenses must less than 5 inches in length and triopods, monopods, and selfie sticks are not permitted.

Private Tours

Private Tours offer an opportunity to view all of the wolves at the sanctuary.

Your guide will lead you and whoever you choose to bring with you around the entire sanctuary to view all of the wolves. They will stop for a few moments at each pack to introduce them and provide information on conservation and biology.

• New Pricing this summer: Starting January 1, 2020, Private Tours will cost $45 per person
• Lasts approximately 2 hours

Photography Tours

These sessions offer an opportunity for professional photographers to spend additional time photographing the wolves using longer lenses and professional equipment.

During the session you will have access to the same trails as the private tour. The session is not informational, but rather a guide will accompany you through the facility and may provide suggestions for the best angles or viewpoints.

For these sessions, all photography equipment is permitted, including tripods and long lenses, though video is still prohibited. Props and other staging materials are not permitted and models are not permitted.

All guests and visitors, during all tours and events, view and may photograph the wolves from behind/through 1 to 2 sets of fencing, with 3×3 to 3×6 inch wide gaps.

• $50 per photographer per 30 minutes (up to 2 hours)
• *No more than 5 photographers will be scheduled per session
