Private Animal Feeding & Encounter
Enjoy a Private Animal Feeding and Encounter with our wolves, black bears, cougars, and bison and elk herd! This 1.5 hour program allows up to 4 guests to ride in a UTV or truck with a knowledgeable WPP staff member to visit these animals behind the scenes. Learn about these animals and their daily care, while you get an up close look and a chance to feed them. Depending on the weather, instead of going into the bison and elk pasture, you or WPP staff may opt to go inside Forest Hall Education Center for an encounter with a snapping turtle, goat, or turkey vulture.
