Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary in Red Lodge, Montana

The best time to see our animals is in the morning when they’re most active. Like their wild counterparts, they may partake in afternoon naps or choose to den up on hot days. Summer is a great time to enjoy the Sanctuary and watch the animals at play in the warm sun! It’s also a great time for Tours and Animal Encounters. During this time of year, we recommend coming in the morning when the animals are most active!
