Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehab Center

This place is super cute and they take great care of an odd assortment of animals.

Don was especially great. He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all the animals. Truly a delight!

Great place! The people were so informative and caring. I can’t wait to go back and see the animals again.

Steve the owner explained that NY State took his big animals when his wife passed. But he is exceptionally educated about the animals, birds and insects. He takes a donation. I was thrilled to see 2 Eurasian owls with orange eyes!

Very informative staff and organization with a selfless cause. Depending on when you go, the animals at the refuge may vary. When we visited, new enclosures were being constructed. Great place to visit on a sunny day. There are nature trails as well (optional). Steve was very informative, but there is very little about each animal's personal story and how/why they arrived at the refuge on display unless you asked someone.

Great opportunity to teach kids about local adirondack wildlife conservation. The speakers were very knowledgeable and willing to take the time to engage visitors. The animals are well cared for and the grounds appear clean and well managed. This is a must stop in the Lake Placid area. Our family will certainly be returning when we visit the area again. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience. Staff was attentive to all the animals needs and along with wild desires. Donations were accepted at the door, as you felt was appropriate. Was able to see many animals including bears, owls, and coyotes, many more too. Highly recommend this experience was approximately 30-50 minutes. Walk was not too strenuous and well paved for most part. There is an educational experience which includes a lecture with the tour at certain times of the day!

Absolutely wonderful place. The animals are exciting to see an quite the variety. The trails are really nice too if you just want to take a short nature hike while you're there. Donations are requested but it is free to visit otherwise. Really enjoyed our time there
