Really enjoyed the Yukon Wildlife Preserve bus tour. There was plenty of oppurtunity to get off the bus and see the animals. The guide was great, very knowledgeable and friendly and the wildlife seemed very content. We were there in the snow, which really added to the beauty of the park. More

We were part of a small tour group thru Northern Tales that had exclusive access to the park since it was closed. We didn't get to ride the bus with the info but we did get to spend as long or little as we liked at each animal enclosure. We saw them all except the moose. Fabulous! More

The Arctic foxes were lovely and cute. I had no idea that they had such blazing golden eyes! We saw bison, big-horned sheep, caribou, yak and lynx. More

The people are friendly, the price is right, and the staff are very knowledgeable. You can go anytime during... More

You might as well by an annual membership as it costs about the same as a single visit and you get so much more. We receive regular email updates about events that take place at the wildlife preserve and pop in several times a year for the guided tour on the bus. The people that work there are great. Every...
