The BC Wildlife Park Kamloops, British Columbia

Animal Encounters at the BC Wildlife Park

The Park features over 65 species of wildlife spread out over 50 hectares. Every member of the family will enjoy seeing cougars, moose, birds of prey, snakes, grizzly bears, mountain goats, and timber wolves.

DID YOU KNOW? The BC Wildlife Park has a large Indoor Discovery Centre.  Perfect for those rainy days!
 

The BC Wildlife Park is thrilled to announce that 2 orphaned Grizzly Bear Cubs will now call the Park their home!  The 5-6 month old cubs were found by Conservation Officers outside of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. 

The cubs have been named! Hunter Deacon submitted the winning names, Dawson and Knute (kuh-newt). Dawson named after Dawson City, close to where the cubs were found, and Knute after the Conservation Officer who picked up the cubs!
