Absolutely loved it!! There is so much to do and see. The scenery is beautiful. There are so many waterfalls. We spent the morning walking around and seeing the displays. Ate lunch at the restaurant. Great food. In the afternoon we took the wildlife tram tour. Our tour guide was Angela. She was wonderful!! She did a great job stopping at key areas, letting us know when photo opportunities were coming up and telling us the history at each stop. Getting to see the elk and bison so close was big treat. The babies were adorable. We will definitely do it again. It is pricey, but worth it.

Dogwood Canyon was a great experience for us and our two grandchildren ages 11 and 14. We chose the tram tour which was 2 hours in duration and took us through a loop around the park. We saw waterfalls and interesting wildlife along the way. Our tour guide Rachel was friendly and knowledgeable. Hiking and bicycling are also available. We might try the bicycles next visit. We ate at the restaurant located on the property. There was a limited menu but the food was quite good.

We visited in June, 2025 and took the tram tour with Rachel as our guide. The tour was definitely worth the price. We saw the Entire park. We were able to see the elk, bisons and long horned steer. The bisons were almost close enough to touch. But we knew better. Before the tour we stopped in the park restaurant and had the elk soup upon the recommendation of the park host who took our entry tickets. So good!! I took lots of pictures. A great day.

We had a great day at DWC. We had a chill day, spending time feeding the fish, & having lunch on the patio. Our 5 year old granddaughter played in the treehouse and enjoyed the conservation center above the gift shop. She loved the taxidermy creatures and the live tarantula. We took the afternoon tram tour and got up close and personal with the bison. We also saw a bald eagle, groundhogs, squirrels, a couple of young copperheads in the creek along with lots of trout. Thanks to Ron, our tram driver. Tips: Make tram reservations ahead of time.

This is the second time we went; this time bringing the whole family and it did not disappoint. There was little wait time at the check in guest = maybe 2 minutes. The water areas continue to be amazing. We made sure to go in June in hopes of seeing baby bison. When we went last year in the April, the guide mentioned June is a good time for this. There were 13 baby bison, very close to the tram, with the newbie right alongside the tram. Additionally, we got to see the 2 1 year old longhorns. We've been here 2 seasons so far and thinking about visiting again in the fall. If you plan ahead early, you can work things out to do the tram and the horseback riding in one day, which is what we did last year in April. Plenty of choice of what you want to do and how much you want to see in a day for the nature and water lover!
