Keeper Kids - Join us for an exciting activity especially designed for kids ages 5-12. In this unique program, kids first learn about grizzly bear eating habits and then accompany the naturalist and animal keeper into the bear habitat to hide food for some of our resident bears. After the food is hidden, kids get to learn how bears use their sense of smell to search out food. Space in this program is limited, so please sign up with a staff naturalist on the day you want to join in the fun. Keeper Kids is offered twice a day during the summer, and at various times during the fall and winter months.This program does require a $2 partcipation fee, all other programs are included with the price of admission to the Center. 

Birds of Prey - Seven raptors live at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. A variety of local species are represented: golden eagle, rough-legged hawk, great-horned owl, western screech owl, American kestrels and peregrine falcon. Join them and a naturalist for one of our regularly scheduled programs in the theater and learn about these amazing birds.
