The Yukon Wildlife Preserve is a paradise for nature lovers and animal enthusiasts. Located just outside of Whitehorse, it features large natural habitats and landscapes where visitors can admire up to twelve iconic Yukon species, including Bison, Muskox, Elk, Red Fox, and Moose. Nature-lovers can enjoy 5km (3mi) of walking trails or join a guided bus tour through the preserve’s beautiful scenery. Additionally, the park also offers Educational Programming, Nature Camps, School Programs, and VIP Tours. During their stay, guests can take part in activities such as kicksled rentals, group tours, and facility rentals. At the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, there is something for everyone to enjoy!

Eryn's Tips:

  • I grew up in this area, so as a kid, the Wildlife Preserve was one of my favourites! I love doing the 5km walk in the summer with my camera, or it is a groomed ski trail in the winter!

  • They will often have fun events too, like feeding the animals out of pumpkins for Halloween! So check if anything fun is going on when you visit!

  • Also, if you know what a wild sheep looks like, the sheep at the preserve will blow your mind. Their horns are INSANE.
