Designed in association with Schibley Exhibition Design, the Wolf Wilderness Exhibit combines an authentically detailed replica of a 150 year old log cabin and a sod roofed log trading post with a contemporary concrete viewing arbor for a dramatic visitor experience. The themed architecture brings the public to the exhibit through a back-woods setting. The imagery continues inside as a strong story line and graphic program provide historical and educational insights to visitors. The exhibit includes wolves and beavers set in a lush one acre wilderness setting with streams, a waterfall, and a beaver pond along with a cut-away beaver lodge and underwater viewing. A wetlands exhibit and aviary give visitors an up-close experience in the viewing arbor. The themed log trading post serves as a gift shop and provides additional viewing. The holding building provides the zoo with a state-of-the-art support facility for the animals.
