UPCOMING PROGRAMS
WOLF PARK | GREATER LAFAYETTE
Wolf Park is an education, conservation, and research facility located in Battle Ground, Indiana. Since 1972, we have studied wolves and other wild canids to learn more about their behavior and assist researchers in the wild. Each year, we teach thousands of visitors about the importance of predators in the ecosystem. We assist researchers around the world with studies of subjects including cognition, behavior, and comparative studies between wild and captive animals.
OURSPONSORS
To celebrate the 4th day of #WolfAwarenessWeek we’re encouraging you to attend Wolf Park’s annual Pumpkin Party this Saturday, October 23rd, from 3:00-5:00pm EST.
Wolves are facultative carnivores, meaning they need meat to survive but will sometimes eat fruit or insects to supplement their diet. Wolf Park’s wolves will often eat part of their pumpkins as they tear into them to get the treats inside. Come join the fun this Saturday! Make your reservations at wolfpark.org. Members attend for free!!

We’re bringing you one of our favorite wolf facts on day 2 of #WolfAwarenessWeek !
Wolves packs play every 30 minutes, on average, as discovered by Gordon Haber in his long term study of wolves in Denali National Park. Playing helps packs solidify their social bonds and may teach young wolves motor patterns that are useful during hunts or encounters with other wolf packs. Learn more in Gordon Haber’s book “Among Wolves” for sale in Wolf Park’s online store (shop.wolfpark.org) or in our visitor center

AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
INFORMATIVE AND FUN GUIDED WALKING TOURS IN WOLF PARK
I went to Wolf Park with a group of 32 and the staff was very friendly with accommodating us. It is a great place for group or family visits, try to go for the whole 3 hours on the days they have events going on. There are many wolves, foxes, and bison that you can see.

This is a wonderful alternative to animal watching. The park's involvement with wolves is to be admired. Personnel are knowledgeable and the wolves are so very special. Our grandchildren love this place. The night programs are especially fun!

Great experience to bring the family to. The guide was super knowledgeable and made the whole experience allot of fun. We got to give ice treats to the pups and everyone had a good experience and learned about wolves and foxes.

A group of us visited in the afternoon for the tour, then came back in the evening for the howl. Highly recommend doing both, as the information and experiences are different and both are amazing. The social behavior of the wolves is complicated and deserves the study this facility is doing. The social attitude of people towards wolves (usually negative) would change if they understood all the wolves contribute to the ecosystem.
