“Animal attraction in West Yellowstone, MT”

Watch the grizzly bears engage in an array of activities in their spectacular bear habitat. Whether they're playing in a cascading waterfall, fishing in their trout stocked ponds, or foraging for food in the snow, the bears interact in an environment that offers ever-changing enrichment opportunities. The bears at the GWDC do not hibernate, so any day of the year is a great time to visit. There are 3 wolf packs that can be viewed from outdoor overlooks or in our Naturalist Cabin. In the cabin, you can experience exceptional views of the wolves through floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch as the wolves interact in their diverse habitats and be sure to attend the daily "Pack Chat" and "Wolf Enrichment" programs.
