How wonderful to be able to say you had a sleepover with the wolves!!!!! It was a truely amazing experience. The ambassador wolves where the hero’s and sitting next to them while we were eating pizza wasa great treat. The campfire was a highlight and so were the s’mores. The young people....well they were young to us....were very courteous and extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable. My husband has a prosthetic leg and I have to use a walker but it was not difficult to navigate around.The very very best part was being woken at dawn by the most beautiful chorus. If you love wolves go as soon as you can.

The barnyard closing with Dana, the staff member who gave us our tour, was excellent! Dana was superb with my four year old and six year old grandchildren. The children were able to pet and feed the goats, sheep, and chickens. They walked the goats and put all the animals in their pens for the night. Then Dana showed the children two eagles, an owl, and a hawk telling them several interesting facts about these birds of prey. Great visit. Highly recommend it!

Reviewed By warde4 - Southold, United States
A beautiful off-the-beaten path hike with miles of hiking in and along the gorge, to a former mine, and along the river. There are a few different trails based on your preferred level of difficulty, though none of them are wheelchair accessible. Parking is free with a suggested donation, and there are clean public restrooms at the trailhead.
