The Wildlife Centre is huge with very large areas for all the animals, including cliffs to climb on for mountain goats and a very large area including wetlands for the 2 moose. It is primarily for rescue animals who are well cared for.

Enjoyed the Wildlife Center and hot springs. It was a long day and thankful to have brought water. The description should mention to bring water.

Hello. I would like to start by saying that our guide was very kind and tried her best. The problem with this tour is that they charge a very steep fee ( $400.00 for both my husband and I) for what is essentially nothing more than a zoo. We barely saw any wildlife as the both the lynx and fox were in hiding that day. Moreover, the organization should ensure that the guide is fluent in English and knowledgeable. While she may have had a wealth of knowledge, our guide struggled to express it as English was not her first language. We definitely didn't get what we paid for and neither will you. In the end, you don't need a guide here folks anymore than you need a guide through a zoo. Pay the $30 entrance fee and skip the tour. You won't regret it.

Great time out spotting all the Winter wildlife with guides Ashiko and Sam who were very friendly and helpful. The hot springs were the perfect way to end the day warm and relaxed! Loved the Onsen pool and meditation room!

The driver and guide were both great but the tour itself was a little underwhelming. I think the description needs to better describe the tour itself. It was a pleasant afternoon but I wouldnt put this on a must do in Whitehorse

Guides Liz and Sam were super awesome. Even though there was snow on the ground and roads, Sam was an excellent driver. We saw several animals in the preserve but sadly not the moose, he was hiding. Their commentary was most enlightening and enjoyable. Then the hot springs warmed us up. I would recommend this to anyone going to that area.

I was a little nervous because I live in California and I traveled by myself to the Yukon to visit my uncles. I am originally from Canada, but have never visited the Yukon before. I knew I'd want to get out and explore so I booked this excursion and I'm SO happy I did!!! They were prompt to pick me up at the Sternwheeler hotel where I stayed for two nights and both of the tour guides were fantastic. Both of their names start with an "M" and almost sound the same, can't for the life of me remember their names but they were incredible people with caring, funny, and knowledgeable personalities! I had SO much fun and the hot springs were absolutely incredible.

We didn't get to do the tour with Arctic Range and had to cancel due to flight cancellations/rebooking but the staff was able to cancel and refund our reservation. I appreciated that as it was one less thing to stress about!
