wolf haven international印象

My mom, nephew and I went to Wolf Haven on July 12, 2014. It was an extremely hot day, 93 degrees. Too hot for the wolves, so the tour was cancelled. On the way out of the gift shop we met Diane Gallegos - Executive Director. She offered to show us some of the artifacts I.e. skulls, photos etc. and spent a good twenty minutes or more explaining about the wolves and the sanctuary. She was very attentive and informative and even though we left without seeing the wolves we all agreed it was well worth the drive from Seattle. If we make it back to Washington this is a definite on the must do. Thank you Diane!

I recently visited Wolf Haven on a school trip. I was very excited to come and was anticipating something more than it was. The facilities consisted of outhouses and a small gift-shop. The tour was really quite terrible. We spent half the time going over the same facts that would have been interesting if they had been told once. Half the park was closed because of a new pup but the pup was one of the reasons i was excited to go! The tour guide wouldn't even let us deviate from the original agenda to see the active wolves when we were looking at an empty exhibit! The only good part of the park was that the wolves seem to be happy and are in large exhibits. Probably three quarters of the wolves aren't even on exhibit. This is definitely a place for the wolves, not for the people who want to see them. If you want to see wolves, the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle has arctic wolves and the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma has red wolves. I will not be back to Wolf Haven.

This was an unexpected joy on our recent Spring Break trip. We enjoyed learning about and seeing the wolfs. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We learned a lot about why people should not have pet wolfs or breed them with dogs. The gift shop was nice also. If you are in the area I recommend this place especially if you have children.

We visited Wolf Haven International with some family members who were local to Tenino, WA. They had never heard of it before.....however.....they are now telling everyone they know about it. We were able to view quite a number of the wolves that currently reside there. The staff is very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. Really an interesting place to visit. We enjoyed visiting the wolf cemetery and the grandfather tree that are located on the premises.

We toured on a warm sunny day. We were guided in to a fenced area where pairs of wolves are kept in fenced pens. Some were visible, some were not. We walked around to each enclosure and the guide spoke at length at each pen, whether a wolf was visible or not. We got a little tired of standing around in the heat listening to the mini lectures. At one point I walked about 10 feet away from the group at an empty pen toward an adjacent pen that did have wolves visible, but I got hassled by the assistant guide (in training?) who hovered over me until I walked back to the group. I found that level of controlling supervision very annoying. However, I admire the work the organization is doing and I would say this is worth a trip one time. I learned a lot and the wolves are beautiful.

Please take the tour. Hosts are well informed about the species and take pride in this facility and what it does. Very educational. Just to look at one of these beautiful creatures face-to face and up close is moving. This is not a zoo nor a theme park. It is an educational and support center for the benefit of wolves.

Refreshing break on a hot day. Really nice pool and park. The gem of Tenino. Afterwards stop by Aunt Kate's for ice cream, a milkshake, a latte and/or chocolates! Delicious!

This was a great place to visit. The tour, though incredibly short by distance, takes about an hour. The guides will discuss each wolf at length, including their backstories, how the pairs were introduced, and a bit about their species. Another reviewer was complaining they found the "controlling supervision very annoying." I say to that, THIS IS A WOLF SANCTUARY. They do that for the wolves. A lot of the wolves there come from horrible conditions brought about by the human trait that we will commit horrible things against other lives and creatures simply for our own amusement. Some of these wolves were collected from people that just hoarded animals. Some came from roadside attractions where they were kept on very short leashes and in tiny cages. The staff at Wolf Haven has the wolves as their priority, not your level of annoyance. They are doing great work, and it's not really worth it for the wolves to run the risk of one person meandering off then somehow taunting the wolves and undoing the work that's been done re-integrating them back into a healthy life (as much as can be had at a sanctuary anyway). In short - this is a sanctuary for the wolves. Not an entertainment venue for the tourists. The tours are given to raise money. Not for you to be a tourist.

Really respect that it's more about the wolves than the people. They provide access to some, not all of them, so those we can't see are able to do wolf things instead of being on exhibit for us. Unfortunately some wolves seemed bored. Respect that they only captive-breed endangered species and are a true sanctuary rather than an inhumane zoo. Learned a lot about wolves.

We had a group of about 15 people of all ages and I didn't hear one bad review all day. The guide was very fun and full of knowledge and very eager to answer our many questions, you could tell he loved being there. The place is a bit hard to find but our GPS had no trouble finding the location. Could use a few signs on the road though. The walk in the field and thru the cemetary is well worth the time.
