Imagine getting up close to wolves, foxes and bobcats to see how they live in the wild? Maybe it's because the PBS show Wild Kratts has been such a hit in our house, but I think it sounds pretty cool, and it's something we've been wanting to do with the boys for awhile now. The Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia, New Jersey is the only wildlife preserve of its kind in the state. The preserve is owned and run by two people who have raised and cared for the animals themselves. At the preserve you get to go on an educational tour and stand on an observation deck where you are surrounded by four different packs of wolves. You will get to watch the wolves play, interact and maybe even get to hear them howl! Wolf watch tours are offered twice a day, everyday except Monday at either 10:30am or 4:00pm. Each wolf watch tour is 90 minutes ($15 for adults, and $7 or kids up to 11 years old- cash only!). Unfortunately, due to the recent ice storms and bad winter we've had the Lakota Wolf Preserve is temporarily closed, but hopefully now that spring is 10 days away it will be reopening soon. Once it does we will be going and I can't wait to share with you how it is!
