Anyone from Minnesota knows that this is a wonderful place to live if you’re an animal and nature lover. From our pristine northern lakes to our thick forests to our endless prairies, we have a diverse landscape populated with a huge variety of plants and animals. One of our most mysterious native animals is the wolf. Though Minnesotans don’t get many opportunities to see them in the wild, the state is home to a wolf sanctuary that anyone can visit.

The International Wolf Center is a wolf sanctuary located at 1396 MN-169, Ely, MN 55731.
