Salato Wildlife Education Center closes for the winter

Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife

Frankfort, KY - The Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort has closed for the winter as of Wednesday, Novemer 27, 2019.

The center's seasonal closures allow staff to conduct needed maintenance to exhibits and facilities, which ensure a quality experience for the facility's 50,000 yearly visitors. Staff members also use the time to train the wildlife used in the center's educational programs.

The Salato Wildlife Education Center will reopen for the season on March 3, 2020.



The center offers a number of wildlife and conservation programs, many of which employ the use of live animals including snakes, turtles, raptors and mammals.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources operates the Salato Center to educate and inform the public about wildlife and conservation. The center is located off U.S. 60 in Frankfort, approximately 1.5 miles west of the U.S. 127 intersection. A bronze deer statue marks the entrance of the main Kentucky Fish and Wildlife campus.
