Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary Walk Ticket in Canada
Description
The only wolfdog sanctuary in Canada, we are a non-profit rescue dedicated to education and awareness about wolfdogs and wild wolves. Our mission is to provide rescued wolfdogs with a meaningful and fulfilled life, while offering experiential education to promote the well-being and understanding of wolfdogs within our domestic world. By cultivating authentic connections between our wolfdogs and people, our goal is to inspire an appreciation for wolves in the wild and a reconnection to our natural world. We are located just east of the Rocky Mountains near Cochrane, Alberta, on 160 acres with a current pack of 60+ resident wolfdogs. Along with our amazing wolfdogs, we have a visitor centre offering souvenirs and educational resources about wolfdogs and wild wolves. All proceeds from admissions and merchandise go directly toward caring for our wolfdogs and supporting future rescues. Please note: children must be 6 years old or older to visit due to the sensitive nature of wolfdogs.

Wolfdogs are awesome!!! Even with the cheapest admission we still got to see the wolfdogs up close. Be sure to align your visit time with the Wolfdog Wisdom sessions to howl with the wolves! Very educational, fun, and definitely worth the price. Not too crowded either
It was very cool seeing all of the wolf dogs. This place has wonderful enclosures for them and you can tell they are very well cared for. We did the tour and enjoyed learning their stories. We had a lot of fun feeding the goats, chickens, and guard dogs too.
Really good experience and worth the money. The sanctuary is well spread out and maintained. We opted to do the self guided tour due to the timing but it would have been great to hear the information provided in a guided tour. That said, the many information boards around the paths were very informative. It was lovely to see so many dogs being cared for in such a nice environment.
Our visit to was absolutely unforgettable. The sanctuary is beautiful, well maintained, and surrounded by stunning scenery that makes the entire experience feel peaceful and unique. We did one of the interactive tours where we were able to get up close and personal with the wolfdogs, and it was truly an amazing experience. The tour felt very personal, and the staff took the time to answer questions and share so much information about the animals, their behaviors, and the importance of conservation and education. You can really tell how much care and passion goes into looking after the wolfdogs. The experience was not only exciting but also incredibly informative. We learned so much during our visit, and it gave us a whole new appreciation for these beautiful animals. Seeing the wolfdogs up close was breathtaking, and the connection you feel during the tour is something we will never forget. I highly recommend visiting Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary to anyone looking for a meaningful, educational, and unforgettable experience.
Great place which gives you an insight into the wolfdogs and their behaviours . Very knowledgeable team who are happy to explain things . What a great job they do, very passionate
Self guided tour at a slow ish pace, reading about half the signs and stopping to admire all that we could see took a little over an hour. Every part of our experience was amazing, down to the gift shop
It was such an amazing experience, to see these animals up close.... and then they howled!! We will definitely be back!
Absolutely brilliant! Would definitely recommend going
What an amazing experience. A wonderful place taking care of very special animals. We upgraded to the interactive tour and would also recommend that.
Very calming experience. Being able to hear their howl and see them roaming and in their element. The staff are all wonderful and love what they do. Definitely support the sanctuary and all the work they do to help these beautiful animals.
