Seacrest Wolf Preserve - Chipley (FL)

5 /5 margaret caruso: A visit at the Seacrest Wolf Preserve turned out to be more than I could imagine. The staff gave my husband & I the complete background on Seacrest & the preserve beginning & how it has developed. They are completely self funded. Any contributions are greatly appreciated. My favorite was a wolf named Maverick who lived up to his name. These are not pets but residents of the preserve taken care of by knowledgeable loving staff & volunteers. Look them up & set a date for a visit. Well worth it. A memory to last a lifetime.

5 /5 Vicky Hampton: We had the best experience. And the tour guide goes all over what you should look out for before you enter each area where the wolves roam around. It was the best experience I’ve had petting the wolves. My favorites were Apache and Maverick but still loved all the wolves there. It was so fun petting them and experiencing them howling in front of you.

5 /5 George Grabowski: Having always loved wolves and then discovering that Seacrest Wolf Preserve was close to me was a blessing. My wife and I took a VIP tour yesterday and were thrilled to be in three different enclosures with timber wolves. Being able to scratch and pet them and even receive multiple kisses made me very happy. Assisting us on our tour was the preserve’s vet and another person who furnished us with much information on the wolves’ care, environment and more that embellished our trip. We can’t say enough about this wonderful experience and encourage all wolf lovers to plan trips there as soon as possible.

5 /5 April Hadden: We chose to do the VIP personal tour and it did not disappoint. The staff are so dedicated to these wolves and their well being. At the epicenter of everything is the comfort and safety of the wolves. We had two hours of non stop interactions with different packs. Cuddles, kisses, howling, scratches, swimming and so much more. It is all based on what the wolves want to do and that makes me so happy to see the animals well being first and foremost. We asked so many questions, learned so many cool things and really had an immersive experience. Highly recommend and if you are on vacay in Panama City Beach, its a short drive.

5 /5 Ryan: It took me almost a month to be able to describe this place in words, that’s how moving it was. Once you enter the wolf enclosures here, you do not exit as the same person. Being THAT close to something so beautiful, powerful, majestic and pure changes something deep within you, even if you are already a wolf enthusiast such as myself. I was debating taking the detour which would total 2 days of drive time going from where I last stayed the night in the Low Country of South Carolina to Central Florida, I took the detour and had an exceptionally moving experience. The wolves do play rough (as they did with me) but are extremely sweet. I would be willing on driving the 1000 mile long drive from where I live currently to come back here, and what’s the best of all is that this is a legitimate enrichment center, not a petting zoo. Take my advice, come to Seacrest, see what it’s all about, as I said before, you do not leave the wolf enclosures the same person as you came in.
