This was an awesome day trip... I wasn't sure what to expect but it blew me away! The owners were incredibly knowledgable about the animals that they care for and their love for them was easily seen. Definitely suggest only taking older children because the animals get spooked with noise and small children could ruin the tour for the other... More

It was about 7 years ago that I was there last. Unique Photo than sponsored a photo trip to Lakota. This was a great experience. The tour started with a seminar on photographing wolves and then about two hours taking photos. It was great being with others photos, talking about experiences. The preserve is great at keeping the wolves within... More

This preserve is so wonderfully done. They make you understand the life and ways of the wolves. You can go online before your visit and adopt a wolf and then visit that wolf when you arrive

This was a perfect Saturday afternoon activity for us before spring sports get started. To start, the kids enjoyed the half mile walk up the gravel road - nice way to stretch the legs. At the end of the road, there are chain link fences where you can see the wolves as you wait for the tour to begin. The... More

It is a shame how humans destroy mother nature. The wolves here are just beautiful! A great little tour to learn about these animals and how they live together. Just magnificent :-)

A great educational stop for children and adults alike! The preserve focuses on wolves, but also features bobcats and red foxes. The animals themselves are magnificent, and the preserve owners provide an illuminating narrative about everything related to the species. Your entrance fee helps to care for the animals, so you'll feel at least a little like being able to... More

This was excellent. Seeing the wolves up close, having a near personal tour, and learning so much about these magnificent animals was amazing for me and my family (husband and a baby). Our nine month old loved it; she obviously thought they were dogs and wanted to see them up close. The bobcats and foxes were cool too -- this... More

We went there on the day before Hurricane Sandy would hit New Jersey. Since most people were busy stocking themselves up, we were the only visitors that day, we got a personal tour of the place. Jim who takes care of the wolves gave us the option of hiking upto the wolf preserve or taking their bus. We opted for... More

Fascinating to see these animals and learn about them, tour guides are very informative and they debunk a lot of mythology that surrounds wolves. The also have a small area with Bobcats.

This attraction has 2 viewings per day. I went in the afternoon and, despite the dismal weather, had an amazing time. The Camp Taylor office is where you will pay your reasonable admission fee, register your vehicle, and be picked up and escorted to the wolves. Previous reviews have mentioned negative interactions with the Camp Taylor proprietors; however, I found... More
