Spend The Day With Wolves At The Wolf Sanctuary of PA In Speedwell, Pennsylvania

We’re quite fortunate in Pennsylvania to have the opportunity to see wildlife – from wild turkey and elk to deer and eagles – in their natural habitats. With some animals, however, we don’t have that luxury. Wolves, for example, are no longer found in the Pennsylvania wild, but you can get a close-up look at them at this wolf sanctuary in Pennsylvania.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

For more than four decades, one family – the Darlingtons – has been rescuing and providing lifelong care and shelter for wolves and wolf-dogs who would otherwise have nowhere else to go.

Today, Wolf Sanctuary of PA welcomes visitors to join a guided tour of the sanctuary, spanning 80 acres, that’s home to more than a dozen beloved wolves, including Lucas, Cheyenne, and Spirit.

You can join a guided public or a private tour of the sanctuary on select days and at select times all year round.

Tours begin with a bit of background on the sanctuary itself before your seasoned tour guide leads you through the sanctuary to see the wolves in a natural setting.

During the tour, you’ll learn more about the packs, how they’re cared for, and wolf conservation in general. You can take photos on your adventure, too.

Wolf Sanctuary of PA offers several other tours, in addition to the public and private tours. Aspiring and seasoned photographers may want to join the Professional Photography Sessions for up to two hours.

For a truly unique experience, reserve a spot during one of the Full Moon Fundraiser events. During the 2.5-hour, adults-only (16 and older) event, you can embark on a self-guided tour of the sanctuary.

If you’re visiting during the Full Moon event, bring along plenty of marshmallows and hot dogs to roast over a roaring fire. Don’t forget your flashlight, lawn chair, and blanket, too.
