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.
