Located about an hour north of the Twin Cities, the Wildlife Science Center has recently moved from Columbus to Stacy Minnesota. With a mission to serve as an educational resource in Wildlife Science, the center was founded in 1976 in order to observe and document the physiology and behavior of a captive population of gray wolves. It has since become internationally recognized as a leading expert regarding wolf behavior. For visitors, the Center provides exposure to wild animals while sharing the knowledge they have gathered from their conservation efforts and their long-term, humane scientific studies on captive populations. The center offers one-hour tours every Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tours run regardless of the weather. No reservation is required. Tours cost $10.00 for adults, $8.00 for children 4-12, and are free for kids 3 and under. Although, maybe a bit far away for most of us, WSC offers Howling Good Birthday Parties centering around a fun and educational wildlife program. They also have a room available and a bonfire upon request. You provide your own refreshments and paper goods. Contact WSC for more information. At Wolf Camp, campers participate in wildlife activities, games and more during week-long day sessions. Find up-to-date information each year in our Twin Cities Summer Camps Guide.
