School Group Rates

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is open 365 days a year, including holidays, (GWDC bears do not hibernate) from 8 am to dusk. Please note that our hours do change with the season. Call for current hours.

We are located just one block from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park and one block south of the IMAX Theater (map and directions).

As a 501©(3) not-for-profit organization, visitor admission is our main source of funding for continued operations.

School Group rates for TEN or more people are:

Grades K - 8	$4.00 per student
Grades 9 - college	$6.00 per student

Teachers, chaperones, bus driver and additional adults pay the student rate for their group. All school groups must have a chaperone for every ten students, we will allow up to two or three additional chaperones at the student rate. Additional chaperones will pay the higher rate.

A joint ticket with the IMAX Theater is available. The GWDC will collect funds and issue a receipt for the IMAX Theater.

Grades K - 8	$9.50 per student
Grades 9 - college	$11.50 per student

Cash, school check or credit cards are accepted. Please pay in a lump sum for the group.
