Parc Alpha

Reviewed By richardcH4452ME - Shipley, United Kingdom

Wolves have been reintroduced into the upper valley, but prevented from going down the valley to farms etc, by a large fence. The fence has viewing platforms and windows enabling visitors to see them from close by. There is also a great show of tame birds of prey.
