Events

Spend an evening after hours at Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary for our Wild of Wonder Pop-Up Event! From 5:00 - 7:00 PM, enjoy the Sanctuary in a whole new way with wildlife, party food and beverages, and plenty of opportunities to visit with the staff and learn more about the animals who call YWS home. This fun, family-friendly evening is a community fundraiser, but you won’t find auctions, raffles, or wine pulls here. Instead, we’re keeping things casual and focusing on what matters most - the wildlife. Come after work, bring the kids, grab a bite, and enjoy an evening at the Sanctuary while learning more about the care we provide every day.   

Join Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary for a fun-filled day celebrating two of our most playful and charismatic residents—Cooper and Meeka! This special event highlights everything that makes raccoons so fascinating, from their incredible problem-solving skills to their curious, hands-on approach to the world around them. Guests will have the chance to learn more about raccoon behavior, adaptations, and the important role these clever animals play in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Throughout the day, enjoy engaging activities, keeper talks, and opportunities to get to know Cooper and Meeka’s unique personalities while exploring the sanctuary. It’s a perfect day for families, wildlife lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little mischief and a lot of charm. Order your special Raccoon Day t-shirt here! Time: All Day - 10 am -4 pm (last admission 3:30)
