Open year-round, this amazing place lets you play with wolves, all of which are human-raised. The cost is a $50 donation that goes towards feeding, sheltering, and otherwise caring for these majestic creatures.

There is a discount of $25 for active military and veterans as well as a discount for groups of 10 or more that allows each person to pay just $40.
Guests will get to interact with three different packs, and even children who cannot go inside will get a chance to meet them face to face. You must be at least 60 inches tall to enter the enclosure and only bring your phone/camera.

Those who wish to enter the enclosure are asked to wear long pants, tee-shirts, and closed-toed shoes, preferably rubber boots. You cannot wear sunglasses as the wolves need to see your eyes, and you cannot wear your hair up or in a braid because the wolves will just take it out. Basically, anything a wolf could take from you must be left outside (i.e. in the car).
Wolf Creek Habitat is only open on weekends with special hours during certain seasons. The best times to visit are during the colder months, and no reservations are required.

You're likely to even find wolf pups during your encounter. Depending on what time of year your visit, they could be anywhere from mere months to just a year old.

You'll find more than wolves at this animal sanctuary. Foxes and rabbits live here too.

Those who wish to just look at the wolves and other critters at this animal sanctuary may enter for free. Guests only pay if they wish to go inside the enclosure.

The teepee comes with at least three cots while the cabins have two beds and three to four cots each.
Events take place throughout the year at this wolf sanctuary. Every second Friday of the month is Howlin' at the Habitat where guests can pay $35 to see what the wolves do at night (between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.).
