Very educational. There are 3 separate pens for various wolves. The owner is very passionate and caring about them and he is extremely knowledgeable. The volunteers were all friendly and helpful. Only down side was people brought very small children who can't keep quiet..don't know what's going on and agitated the wolves.

I love driving School groups here it's so clean and the wolves are well cared for. The staff never rushes groups along they answer every question. Today I had 3 yr Olds on a field trip they spent about an hr and had some pretty cool questions.

Wow what a great place. Every dollar you spend goes to benefit the wolves at the property. The presenter Z was fantastic and was able to easily answer every question about the wolves-I learned so much. He has been there since 1990! My favorite part was when we got to make the wolves howl at the end! We left with more knowledge on how to protect these beautiful animals in the wild and I hope everyone who visits does too.

Every animal lover and wildlife enthusiast should experience this magical place. We are so fortunate to have this sanctuary in our state. This is a ground roots effort of educationing and inspiring younger generations of what needs to be done to ensure the survival of this incredible animal and their pack to our world.

Visited as part of an assignment for a graduate class in behavior analysis. Rex, one of the volunteers, published work on wolf behavior with our professor.There’s a great gift shop before you take your tour, highly recommend the candles they sell there!The tour itself is about an hour, and is super informative. You don’t get too close to the wolves or anything, being separated by a couple of fences, but they’re wild animals so it is completely expected and fair. It’s a small place with 3 enclosures and I believe a total of 7 wolves.Staff was super friendly, and the price for our private group was very reasonable.I’ll likely be back to check it out with friends!

The team is knowledgeable and friendly. The information shared is interesting for young and old. But of course, the wolves are the stars of the tour! They are beautiful and appear to be well cared for with space and enrichment. This is a wonderful place to visit.Wolf Hollow, you made my daughters dream come true! to see wolves in person. They are her favorite animals, and you made it engaging and fun! Thank you

The tour of Wolf Hollow was so special! The staff were passionate, highly informed, and friendly. They did their best to keep us engaged and show us a good time while educating on the lives and threats to the lives of wolves. The gift shop even had tufts of wolf fur with the name of the wolf they came from. If you want a unique, up-close experience with these majestic animals, I highly recommend you go!

A family friendly place that gives a lot of information on wolves. The founder's son currently does an hour and a half presentation on wolves and their background, their habits, their being endangered and much more. The presentation itself is interactive with him taking questions from the crowd and answering them which makes you feel more of a part of the whole thing. Over all it's a good fun time for the family or couples or friends to go and see!

This place is so special and beautiful. They really care about the wolves. I would suggest they maybe not let kids under a certain age or I’m sorry ones that can’t stay still because while there was a lot of kids there who were very well behaved there was one running and jumping and pretty much annoying everyone and clearly upsetting the wolves. Kinda ruined the experience that I was looking forward to.

Loved seeing the wolves ❤️ But just keep in mind you will be sitting down for about 45 minutes. The wolves are there the entire time but it’s pretty small and you can’t get close to them. If you bring. A 5 year old like I did, bring snacks or something to entertain them. It’s a lot of talking and educating yourselves.

Amazing experience! Learned so much about wolves, their habits and lives, and the group's conservation efforts. Will be coming back with my kids!

This is a wonderful place, I learned so much about wolves and their habitat! The guide was really knowledgeable. After we (my family) did the program, my sister did a private photography shoot (costs extra).TIP: The colder it is, the more active the wolves are!

Nice sanctuary for wolves rescued from private residence(basically stupid people that wanted a pet wolf), and wolves unable to survive in the wild. Guided tour with minimal interaction with the animals. I recommend a visit for educational purposes and help the resident animals.

Absolutely fantastic venue and experience!! A must for anyone who loves wildlife and wolves. Great interactive learning venue that culminates with participating in a wolf howling session. Love how wolves are centered around the pack. Our son had so much fun and enjoyed this experience. Great job team!! Bravo!

Very cool experience. These people take great care of these animals. They are very knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do. It's not a zoo, it's a home for Wolves that we're not born in the wild. 1 hour for the presentation and worth it.

This place the most breathtaking, peaceful, magical, and educational place that ive been to in a very long time. Z was so accomidating and informative with his passion of his wolves and all wolves in general. He defined each of his wolves personalities to the T By what we saw while he interacted with them. His babies are adorable and he lives for these animlas. Learning about how packs form and continue and how close to mankind they are was just so interesting. If you ever have a chance to stop in for a tour, do it. You will not be dissapointed. You are not allowed to pet or touch the wolves with hood reason but you are upfront and close to their enclosures. Such an amazing and loving place. Last but not least, call ahead to make a reservation. They are super helpful and informative about what to expect and will return you call promptly!!!

Such a great opportunity to see wolves and realize how great they are. It was such an enjoyable time for our family. Plus you're then so close to great eats and treats in Ipswich!

An excellent and educational experience. Can get cold in the shade during the presentation. Two sets of fences keep a safe distance between you and the wolves. A great experience for the entire family.
