You see the three ambassador wolves at the entrance, and then thats it. The tour guide was a nice charasmatic older gentleman, but the little rude fellow that called himself the tour director had a nasty attidude and was kind of rude to my wife and granddaughter. Really unecessary if you ask me. Kind of ruined the exxcursion for us. I would not bother to go again.

I was hoping that the wolves were more free, instead they are locked up in enclosures. The person who accompanies us to see these magnificent animals, speaks continuously for hours without realizing the annoyance it creates for the animals. In fact, she asks the group to howl. All this is pure shameful spectacle. It would have been better not to see any wolves and to know that you are really saving them, not keeping them in your pens just to get rich. sad and dreary. To save the wolves you have the space to create huge reserves. It doesn't matter if tourists don't see the animals, the important thing is that the animals are fine! I hate zoos, but there are some in my country where wolves have a lot more space than in your reserve!

Such an incredible experience! Our youngest loves wolves so we chose to do the Sleeping with Wolves overnight camp out. Colin, Dana and Alex were amazing hosts. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate. The entire program was run very smoothly and not on a really strict schedule, but there was plenty to do and see at all times. There are only 6 4-person tents so it's not an overwhelming crowd even when fully booked (which our night was). We were able to get very close to a few of the wolves and if not for the safety rules very likely could have touched some! We were able to get the wolves howling and see them jump for some snacks. There are 3 Ambassador wolves in the 1st enclosure (all siblings), then further down were 2 red wolves. And still further back are 2 Mexican grey wolves. We were only able to see 1 of those because they had a newer den that they were loving. Apparently they have 24 hr trail cams that you can view inside their dens and enclosures. There are 33 wolves in total and at times you could hear them all howling and calling out to each other, but you only have the opportunity to see 7. Throughout the night we could hear them howling and upon waking up between 615 and 630 am they seemed to do a roll call and all howled for a while. We learned so much and will continue to support their conservation and education efforts and hope to return someday (it's a 6 hour drive for us).

Great time here learning about the wolves, such beautiful animals! Joe the tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Would definitely return, very pleasant experience. Be ready for the walk up the driveway, no joke! Lol

March 5 the dog warden of ross county Chillicothe Oh 45601 captured beautiful all white wolf on my rd. I've just found out this beautiful creature will be euthanized next week. Is there someone out there who can save him?

Try Lockwood animal rescue in CA. They have a show on animal planet called Wolves and warriors.

Hello, How can I go from New York City by public transportation? Thank you

If you are arriving from Grand Central you have to use the Harlem train, and you arrive in Katonah. But from there you need a Lyft or Uber to get to the Wolf Center. Before arriving, you need to attend a program with them and so the wolves teach you.

Do non-domestic wolves suffer from thunder-storm anxiety the way domestic dogs often do?

That depends on the wolf. Some won’t care that much, but others really won’t like it.

Can we take a picture with them

They have Ambassador Wolves that allow viewing and picture taking thru the fence and a raised viewing area.
