Everything about this place is wonderful. Each staff person is knowledgeable and they truly put the care of the animals first. And we had an amazing experience and interaction with wildlife! I got kisses from two different wolves! One did grab the back of my jacket to play. He easily could have pulled me down. We were warned about this and I was ready even though it still scared me. Completely loved every moment and would do it again!!! And bring family and friends.

Reviewed By gordonlR6210JQ
We’ve been coming to Anacortes for years to get to our boat. It wasn’t until a recent crummy weather weekend that we started poking around Anacortes beyond Commercial Street and the old downtown. Wow! A few nice but short trails and incredible views. The very tip top is rocky and during our last visit some model R/C monster truck folks were putting their vehicles thru their paces. What fun! Weather permitting you can see Mt Baker, the San Juan’s, etc. The views are just outstanding. A great place to chill (sometimes literally) and unwind.
