Offering an afterlife to 'pest' grizzlies facing extermination, this
nonprofit center grants a chance to see captive wolves and bears if you failed to see any in
the park. The indoor bear exhibit is good, and there is an information wall with clippings
of recent bear encounters, as well as the latest wolf-pack locations. The daily programs on
hiking safely in bear country and using bear spray are excellent primers for the park. The
twice-daily 'Keeper Kids' program even allows kids to hide food in the enclosures and
then watch the bears sniff them out - fun! Admission is good for two days. Here's an in-
teresting fact: faced with a regular supply of food, the bears here don't hibernate.
