  We visited here in mid December, with our two young grandchildren. We were so lucky to have Tim Stephenson show us around, as it was feeding time for the animals when we arrived. Tim's stories about the animals he is so knowledgeable about not only entertained them, but were enlightening to all the adults with us. Having such a caring person well schooled in the care, nurturing and training of these animals is wonderful asset to the center. The sanctuary has changed names since we were there a few years ago, and it seems to be in better shape now.

  A good collection of local animals. The staff was very helpful with information about why some of the animals where there and made sure we knew when feeding times were in order to see the animals being active.

  It was really cold the day we went the Wildlife Sanctuary but it was still well worth our time! It was really cool to see the animals and read the stories of how they ended in the refuge.

  This is a wonderful place that is doing great things for the animals of this region. We get to see coyotes, bears, buffalo, among other animals. We have twin eight-year-old girls who love coming here. It's a wonderful place for a quiet walk that allows you to appreciate the local wildlife. Moreover, the admission fee goes to a great cause

  We stayed in Red Lodge for one night, so I had looked online for the best things to see in Red Lodge. The wildlife sanctuary came up, and we were so excited to see it. We got there after a night of snow, but they were still open for business. The lady gave us an informational tour book with each animal's rescue story in it. The animals were all unable to be returned to the wild for various reasons, and the staff at the sanctuary are wonderful for caring for these animals. This is the type of place to go to educate yourself and children about wild animals! The fox was adorable :)

  I love to visit these types of places, where animals that cannot survive in the wild are given refuge. While they are not always the best appointed places, they are always worth the visit for me. YWS was about average for this type of place. They operate on very small budgets and appreciate all donations. We saw a good selection of wildlife. Of particular note were the bison and bears. We visited right after lunch, so the midday sun was pretty hot, and many of the animals were hiding in the shade. I love reading the stories associated with each animal.

  I have visited this wildlife refuge for the past 5 years. I visited there about 2 weeks ago, and I was impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of the place. I particularly liked the bears. Please consider a stop at this sanctuary if you are in the Red Lodge area.

  Visiting the sanctuary was one of the highlights of the three months I spent in Wyoming and Montana. It was such fun to see up close some of the animals I'd heard so much about but hadn't been lucky enough to glimpse in the wild in Yellowstone. I especially enjoyed seeing the gray wolves, since the Yellowstone region is so famous for them. Other highlights were the foxes, black bears, and Charlie the raccoon. The sanctuary is quiet and pleasant, complete with a little garden. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and gave me a lot of interesting information. Highly recommended for all animal lovers!

  This was a tough review for me to write.... I love animals and I truly respect how well intended this place is. That being said the bear enclosures were so small the bears were just pacing back and forth.....it was so sad I cried. These poor animals were once someone's pets . I asked a lot of questions and was told the policies have recently changed the workers are no longer allowed to display any affection towards the animals......the worker further explained to me these animals will never be released to the wild. In many ways it felt like these poor animals were in a prison. My recommendation that you visit this place is based on their strong education program for youngsters.... Once children stop asking for bear cubs and other wild animals babies for pets we won't have animals living in these conditions....

  The wild cats at Yellowstone wildlife sanctuary are incredible... Sacajawea "mountain lion", is an amazing predator to see up close... This place is far better than any zoo or sanctuary in Montana... I go every year and will continue to do so...Wolves,coyotes,eagles,owls,cranes,buffalo,elk, fox, racoons,lynx,bobcat, and a mountain lion... I sure do miss Lewis and Clark!!!
