Interesting to see all these Yukon animals so close. And if you are lucky they may have some baby animals too. More

The preserve was very quiet when we were there; we were the only visitors. We had a fabulous walk through the preserve, took about 2 and a half hours though it can be done quicker.

A great setting to take a walk and view wildlife of the north. Staff were friendly and informative. We saw a cool looking building that is for taking care of animals but we could not get inside. More

Very informative and great to see wildlife you probably wouldn't see if left to your own devices. You can walk, ski or bus around - so everyone is catered for. More

This is not suppose to be a zoo, but a wildlife preserve. Instead it seemed very zoo like.
