Support Animal Ark COVID-19 Relief in Reno, NV

The Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary is closed to the public for the winter and will re-open on Saturday, March 14, 2020. We will have two Winter Wild weekend events from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm on January 18 - 19 and also on February 15 - 16, 2020.

The mission of Animal Ark is to inspire environmental stewardship through wildlife education.

Since 1981, Animal Ark has provided a safe haven for injured, abandoned and otherwise non-releasable wildlife.

Animal Ark is located north of Reno on thirty-eight acres and primarily features native North American predators, though a few exotic species have found a home there. Animal Ark educates tens of thousands of children and adults a year about ecological principles and wildlife by providing special programming events and educational tours.
