Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre
An educational centre that keeps captive-born grey wolves, where you can observe wolf packs up close and learn about the ecology of Rocky Mountain wolves.
The Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre was founded by a couple. It keeps grey wolves born in captivity that cannot be released into the wild, and through guided talks it explains the role wolves play in the Rocky Mountain ecosystem and the challenges of conservation. Visitors can watch the packs from the viewing areas, and can also book photography tours or a deeper “wolf walk” experience. It is open year-round, roughly 9:00–18:00 in summer, with shorter hours in winter. Cash only. It is located about 15 km north of Golden.
Opening hours
Summer about 9:00 am–6:00 pm; winter about 12:00–5:00 pm
