We wanted the girls to have the chance to see a grizzly bear while on our vacation and decided to take them to the discovery center in West Yellowstone. We truly had a wonderful time. The place isn't huge, but it was so fun seeing the few animals they had. The great thing about this, it's a habitat for the rescued animals. We were able to watch a wolf catch a trout and watch the grizzlies search for food that the employees hid under rocks and tree branches. Vivian was even able to join the kids program (Keeper Kid...you have to be at least 5 years old to participate) and went inside the bear habitat when the bear was inside, hide the food and watch her find the food when they let her out. It was really an awesome experience for her! An older girl kind of took Vivian under her wing and helped her hide the food. It was the sweetest. If you are in West Yellowstone, I highly recommend checking the center out!
