Last visit 7/16/22. Love to take the trails and look at all of the animals. Lots of places to get above the animals and not have to look through fences all the time. They also have wonderful grounds covered with native plants. We enjoy going for the walk and for the pictures we can get.

Salato Wildlife Education Center is an interpretive nature center featuring self-guided tours of indoor and outdoor live wild animal exhibits. Many of Kentucky's native wildlife and their habitats are on display, including fishes, reptiles and amphibians, bobcats, white-tailed deer, elk, bison and birds of prey. Special programs are sometimes offered, and visits by groups and school classes may be scheduled.
The Center closes November 22 at 4 p.m. for annual winter maintenance and enhancements, and re-opens March 12, 2024 at 9 a.m. Consult the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources' website for up-to-date information.
