Grizzly Bear and Wolf Discovery Center Is A Must-See For Yellowstone Park Visitors
Millions of people visit Yellowstone National Park each year. Unfortunately, many miss out on one of the area’s premier attractions, the Grizzly Bear & Wolf Discovery Center. Located in West Yellowstone (the west entrance of the park), the Grizzly Bear & Wolf Discovery Center is a non-profit wildlife park and educational facility. At the center, visitors are able to view grizzly bears, wolves, and birds of prey. In addition to offering an exciting chance to view these majestic animals at a close distance, the Grizzly Bear & Wolf Discovery Center serves a much greater purpose. The center provides shelter to animals that get into trouble, often times due to human-wildlife conflicts. Many of the animals that found their way to the center would have otherwise been euthanized, and the center offered an alternative option that ultimately saved their lives. At the same time, the center is an educational facility that helps to educate visitors about bears, wolves, and birds of prey including animal behavior, safety, and the issues that affect these animals in the wild.
The Grizzly Bear & Wolf Discovery Center includes a gift shop, an interactive bear museum exhibit, a grizzly bear habitat where bears can be seen and photographed, a wolf habitat where wolves can be viewed and photographed, a naturalist cabin where visitors can view wolves from the comfort of a heated indoor environment, a theater, and oral presentations by a naturalist. Visitors can enjoy this amazing wildlife experience at very low admission fees. Adults are $10.50, seniors are $9.75, children (ages 5 to 12) are $5.50, and children under age 5 are free! Admission is good for two consecutive days, so you can return to the center for another visit before you leave the Yellowstone area.
As a non-profit organization, the Grizzly Bear & Wolf Discovery Center relies upon visitor admission fees, membership fees, and donations to continue its operations. Without adequate support from visitors and donors, the center would not be able to continue in its admirable mission to protect these magnificent animals and educate the public about them and the issues that threaten them in the wild. You can make a difference in helping bears and wolves by supporting the Grizzly Bear and Wolf Discovery Center. There are many ways in which you can offer support. You can visit the center during your next Yellowstone National Park vacation. You can also purchase an individual, family or business membership which comes with extra benefits and also provides much-needed support to the center. Other ways to offer support include individual donations, the “adopt an animal” program, and purchasing a Grizzly Bear and Wolf Discovery Center license plate.
Like so many other wildlife species, bears and wolves face many issues that threaten their continued existence in the wild. The Discovery Center is truly working hard to make a real difference. These animals and their counterparts in Yellowstone and the surrounding wildlands need your help.
