See LIVE Bears and Wolves!

We offer visitors to the Yellowstone area an opportunity to observe, understand and ultimately appreciate grizzly bears and gray wolves.

Many of the animals at the Center are unable to survive in the wild and serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.

Visit the animals year round. GWDC bears do NOT hibernate.

Open EVERY DAY 9:00am – 4:00pm

Your ticket is GOOD FOR 2 CONSECUTIVE DAYS!
