Parks & Nature
Orphaned babies or injured wildlife are brought to rehabilitate and then return to the wild, or if that is not possible, they remain at the Center to educate and entertain. These animals– Moose, Bear, Bison, Musk Ox, Caribou, etc. – are all in their natural habitat, which makes for a beautiful setting and photographic opportunity. They also have a great gift shop.
