Group Presentations

Big Run offers outdoor group presentations for children and adults of all ages. Presentations at our facility are $8.00 per person for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, with a suggested minimum of 25 people. Presentations include up close and personal encounters with wolves, cougar, coyote, raccoons and other North American wildlife. (Due to federal regulations, guests may not have physical contact with any of the adult animals.) Frequent visitors to Big Run include school groups, boy/girl scouts, church organizations, photography clubs and home school groups. Big Run also hosts teacher workshops and lectures.
