Daily Programs

Observe our ambassador wolves, explore our Wolves and Humans exhibit, learn from staff naturalists about wolf life and habitat, and discover much more when you visit the International Wolf Center's interpretive center in Ely, Minnesota. Most programs are included with the price of admission. Advance registration is highly recommended for all fee programs to ensure a seat and to avoid cancellations due to low enrollment. Call 800-ELY-WOLF (800-359-9653) ext. 21, Monday through Friday 8:00am-4:30pm CST, or ext. 30 Saturdays and Sundays during open hours or e-mail to register. Information required in an email reservation: program name, date of program, participant name(s), contact phone number. Payment for fee programs is not due until you arrive at the Center.

If you are in need of special assistance during programming, we require two weeks notice prior to your arrival. Thank you!

Notice:
The main entrance of the Ely, MN, Interpretive building is currently under renovation. You can still enjoy the live wolf exhibit, the children's Little Wolf exhibit, films, daily programs, and other interactive activities including WolfQuest at the Center. The renovated entrance and Wolves and Humans exhibit will reopen in fall 2009. Additionally, the Wolf Den Store's inventory will be reduced to select items during this time and the main retail operation - The Rendezvous Site - will be located in downtown Ely.

All programs featuring the wolves are subject to availability and the welfare of the animals.
