Hot Cocoa and Wildlife

Join Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary for our first Hot Cocoa & Wildlife event! As you make your way into Red Lodge for the annual Christmas Stroll weekend, stop by Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary to get the festive fun started. ❄️🦬

Along with our animals enjoying fun enrichment, we’ll have activities for the whole family and a special schedule with the educators at YWS!

At 11am and 1pm there will be a story time in the education building featuring “When Winter Comes,” an engaging story that explores what happens with our wildlife during the winter months.

Following story time, at 11:30am and 1:30pm, there will be a special animal encounter with our tiger salamanders, M&M and Scherbatsky. We’ll bring them to you and share more about their stories and what these native salamanders do in the winter.
It’s going to be a festive and fun day to kick off your holiday weekend!

Regular admission price applies.
Hours: 10am–4pm (last admission at 3:30pm)
