Personal observation visit: You will normally be the only visitor(s) on site (although we do not guarantee this). You are welcome to take photographs and there will always be a knowledgeable members of staff available to answer as many questions as you want to ask. This kind of visit normally lasts about 1 hour. You may be able to greet our wolves through the wire although we absolutely do not guarantee this. The wolves decide whether they are in a mood to greet or not. If you have a special interest - for example, if you are studying canine behaviour or wolf biology - then please let us know. Observation visits usually take place during the working part of the day and you may get to see various activities involving the wolves. 

Wolf experience visit: This is a visitor-group event and includes a talk by a knowledgeable member of staff about our wolves and about conservation. We usually feed the wolves during these visits and you will have the opportunity to take photographs you probably can't anywhere else. You have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like about wolves (and dogs), what they are and what they do. Wolf-educational games are available to children that want to participate and you get a free complementary wolf-information pack Free refreshments are available and gifts and souvenirs are on sale. We do not walk the wolves during this kind of visit. (We also do a personal version of this type of visit).

Wolf walk visit: We only offer a limited number of these visits per year. Please check visit dates for availability. We usually walk one or more of our wolves for anything from half an hour to an hour around the land adjacent to the site. To keep up, you will need to be fit enough to walk for about half an hour at a leisurely pace unaided (Ie. without a walking stick etc.). This is a visitor-group event and includes a talk by a knowledgeable member of staff about our wolves and about conservation. We usually feed the wolves during these visits and you will have the opportunity to take photographs you probably can't anywhere else. You have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like about wolves (and dogs), what they are and what they do. Free refreshments are available and gifts and souvenirs are on sale.

You will get a talk from an experienced member of staff about our wolves and conservation and plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

• we cannot guarantee that it will be possible for you to get hands-on with any particular wolf.
• we will normally be closed to visitors throughout most of January and February and usually March as well. This is a very private time of year for wolves and we're sure you'll understand.

For group visits, we can accommodate no more than 30 people at one time.
