December 19, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Located in West Yellowstone of Montana, the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is a not-for-profit wildlife park and learning facility. Sanctioned by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, or in brief AZA, the Center doesn’t remain closed any time of the year. The Epicenter opened in 1993 as Grizzly Discovery Center with only 3 bears. In 1996, ten wolves were added and in 2002, the name of the Center was changed from Grizzly Discovery Center to Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.
Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center provides each tourist with an opportunity to uniquely experience the amazing world of grizzly bears and gray wolves. The Center is committed to provide tourists a chance to watch, comprehend and appreciate the animals that have been removed from the wild because they became unable to survive in the wild.
One of the remarkable features of the Center is that it offers a variety of educational programs for different age ranges such as Keeper Kids program for kids of ages 5-12 years and Keeper Crew program for teenagers under 18. Programs for adults offer various facts about bears and wolves along with other reptiles as well as birds residing at the Center. You can come to know why the animals cannot survive in the wild, what they eat, how they are feed, what happens when the animal’s hibernating, what to do when you come across a bear in a desolate area, and abundantly more.
There’s an exhibit offering you an educational experience named ‘Bears, Imagination and Reality’, which was formed by the Science Museum of Minnesota. The exhibit is an interactive one, contrasting bears in myth, art and literature with those identified by adventurists and researchers.
You will find a number of hotels located 160-320 meters from the Center providing you comfortable dwelling locations and food service facilities. Come to MT to experience the incredible views and activities inside the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center!
