Located in Red Lodge, Montana, the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary has deep roots in the community that extend back to the 1920’s as a fur trading business that evolved into a zoo and ultimately into a nature center.
Dedicated to education, conservation, and preservation of Montana’s wildlife and its habitats, the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary is the only public refuge in Montana to house and care for animals unable to be returned to the wild. With an impressive array of birds of prey and mammals, a visit to the nature center provides its guests with interactive displays as well as opportunities to learn about wolves, bobcats, owls, bears and others at close range.
An education program caters to toddlers, youth, and other groups with a focus on making learning fun with hands-on, interactive activities. Programs can be designed to accommodate any type of group and private guided tours are also available.
