Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, West Yellowstone, MT ~ May 2023 ~ Photos

This not for profit wildlife park is marvelously informative about bears and wolves. There are exhibits to browse prior to walking through the wolf and bear habitats.  I was lucky to be there when the animals are fed: staff hide the food and the animals hunt about for their meal (as do the birds!).  Staff are helpful and knowledgeable.

At one of the buildings in the wolf habitat area, there is a statue of a wolf. Several times, I saw a wolf come to the glass enclosure and stare at the statue. I found that fascinating and wondered what he was thinking or sensing. Another enclosure is open with the wolves at more of a distance.

The Center is a marvelous place, as within Yellowstone, I saw bison, but did not see wolves or bears. I purposely stayed in West Yellowstone to use the west entrance to the Park because a town is convenient to that entrance plus I’d read about the Discovery Center. You can easily spend several hours at the Center and it is definitely worthwhile to explore.
