Beautiful animals. Informative lecture. - We had a wonderful experience at WWS and learned a lot about this beautiful, lovely and ultimately very peaceful apex predator. There is a lot of misinformation about them being aggressive, but they really just want to mind their own business and live in peace with their families. Kind of like everyone else.

Talk about the animals and WWS. Then an introduction to the animals themselves. - Our host, Nichola, was very knowledgeable and articulate. The animals were engaged, healthy and content.

Fantastic trip, worth every penny. - Fantastic time learning about wolves, their place in nature, and the work done to rei produce them into regions they used to roam. Saw all 4 of the current resident wolves, staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience - This was a lot of fun! We went as a group for a bachelor party and loved learning about the wolves. Knowing how we can help and assist these wonderful creatures made our day. Highly recommend for all.

I only wish I had gone sooner! - I've wanted to come visit the wolves for years since we live in the same county... I just wish I had done it sooner! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Nichola was very knowledgeable about wildlife and has been very dedicated to these wolves for many years. The ravens were an added bonus to seeing the wolves. We just love these beautiful creatures!

A Learning Experience in the lush forest. - I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot about wolves and other wild canines, heard about their almost eradication and the efforts to reintroduce them to the areas they lived in before. The drive to get there is beautiful and nestled in the woods.

A Magical Experience - We planned a visit to the White Wolf Sanctuary as a birthday fun day for our wolf-obsessed 10-year-old, and were not disappointed! We loved the educational presentation, and each learned so much about wolves that we never knew before. The staff were super knowledgeable and friendly, and answered all of our questions. Then, getting to walk around and see the wolves was just magical. Lakota was our favorite! Seeing the wolves up close (from a safe distance, of course) was amazing for us and our kiddos. The admission fee was pretty expensive for a family of five, but worth it for the experience, in my opinion. Especially knowing that this is a non-profit and the money is used to feed and care for these wolves.

Overall great- could use some slight improvements - The staff was incredibly knowledgeable- the wolves were beautiful, and we walked away with feeling like we knew so much more about these beautiful animals. We were disappointed that the website advertises 11 wolves, and there were only 4. They did not recently pass away either, so it doesn’t make sense why this information is not updated on the website. Also, seeing the wolves was really only 30% of the experience, the rest was classroom setting, informational. All in all, it was cool to see up close, but would have appreciated more time seeing these beautiful animals- less classroom time.
