When it’s wet and cold outside, there are plenty of ways to enjoy Northwest Trek Wildlife Park and meet amazing animals!

Step inside the E.H. Baker Cabin

Step inside the cozy forest cabin to get an up-close look at the gray wolf habitat. Climb into a tunnel to get nose-to-nose with a gray wolf (through a window). You might even catch a howl or two!

Visit the Cheney Discovery Center

Guests of all ages will discover a tiny world of reptiles and amphibians like a garter snake, northern leopard frogs, rough-skinned news, and more inside the Cheney Discovery Center. While the animals are fun to watch, there is plenty more to do, including an activity table with games and puzzles, a puppet theater, and a reading nook.

See Forest & Wetlands Animals 

Don’t let the name fool you! You can see all the Forest & Wetlands animals from a covered walkway. What will you find? A fluffy pair of skunks, adorable badgers, splashing beavers, and more!

Take a Tour in the Free-Roaming Area

Enjoy cruising on a Discovery Tram Tour in the 435-acre Free-Roaming Area to see bison, mountain goats, Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer, a Trumpeter swan, moose, caribou, and bighorn sheep, hop in your personal vehicle to experience a Wild Drive, or go off-road in a Jeep on a Keeper Adventure Tour. In all our experiences, you will learn from a naturalist or keeper about the species you see and what makes them unique.

Staying Dry

Many viewing platforms (bobcat, lynx, cougar, wolverine, red fox, gray wolf, grizzly bears, and black bear) are covered. Rent an umbrella at the front gate for the walk to each habitat. Afterward, dry off and warm up inside the Forest Café, where you can order lunch and a hot cocoa.

We look forward to seeing you soon, rain or shine!
