Dinosaur Resource Center

We have a marvelous world class museum here in Woodland Park. RMDRC features an awe-inspiring display of dinosaurs, prehistoric marine reptiles, pterosaurs and fish of North America's late Cretaceous period.

Colorado Wolf & Wildlife Center

The Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center now reaches approximately 40,000 people per year. It is important to educate people about the beautiful and majestic wolf, along with other misunderstood wild canids, and the importance of their roles in our ecosystems.

We teach people how wolves affect the populations of other predators, prey, scavengers and even vegetation. Wolves can improve the gene pool of their prey species by culling out the genetically inferior and vulnerable individuals. Our educational discussions touch upon topics ranging from pack hierarchy, sexual reproduction, territory, communication, prey impact, and conservation.
