I just went to the Elk Park for the first time. Gaylord itself is an active, fun city! Seeing the Elk, for FREE, was a treat!! They have acres to roam around, are fed well and are beautiful animals! In early summer their antlers look like a reindeers! Go see for yourself!! take the kids- its nice!!

When we visited the Call of the Wild Museum, the owner told us about the Elk Park. It's free, and there are a few places to sit and watch the elk. Apparently people obey the "Do Not Feed" signs, because the elk are not particularly interested in people. They weren't really doing a whole lot when we visited, but now... More

If you want to get a close up and personal look at the elk go to where they are fed, you can be within feet of them which is really impressive. Even watching them in the field is a pleasurable experience.
