Meet our Otter girls – Jolie, Emma, Ellie, and Harper.
Visit the wolf cave for a close-up view of Beo and Aurora.
Scan the trees to find Bluebeary and Winston, 2 of our bears.
Hang out in the barnyard and pet Donkay, the donkey, Ferdinand, the bull, and all of the farm animals.
Be amazed by the massive size of our bison.
Be entertained by the spider monkeys and lemurs.
Take time to pet the bunnies in the bunny yard.

You can add to the fun by purchasing a feed cup for the deer, barnyard animals, bison, and bunnies.

Go mining for gems at the Yellow River flume.

Bring a lunch and find a shady picnic table to watch the animals.

Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary is a rain-or-shine facility. Once you have entered the park, there will be no refunds. Cancellations can be made up to the reservation time.”
