Wolf Howls – See Calendar for Specifics (most Fridays & Saturdays)
Endangered Wolf Center – $25
A wolf’s howl inspires awe, adoration, wonder, and sometimes fear, depending on the stories you’ve been told. Gather around the campfire to learn the true tale of the wolf and find out if Little Red Riding Hood lied.
After you’ve learned about wolf communication, you’ll howl with the wolves beneath the stars and leave feeling reconnected to nature.
An evening around the campfire and the chance to hear one of the most iconic sounds of the animal kingdom make this an unforgettable experience. But please note: You will not have the opportunity to view the wolves during this program, since this experience is designed to offer you a chance to hear wolves howl – something they don’t do as much during the daytime tours. After the howl, you will enjoy light refreshments and have an opportunity to ask questions and browse our gift shop.
