"We are also looking forward to educating the public on skunks, and clearing up the myths about them that seem to persist in people's minds." While skunks are an important part of the ecosystem, they are largely unappreciated for their role in keeping rodent and insect populations in check. The Salato Center's skunk is now training for its public appearances and will not be on permanent exhibit until later in the year. Visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the skunk prior to that time should contact the center at 502-564-7863 to see when it will be available for viewing. TripAdvisor rates the Salato Wildlife Education Center as one of the top five things to do in Frankfort. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources operates the Salato Center as part of its goal of educating the public about the state's native wildlife. The facility offers viewing opportunities for a variety of wildlife, including a bear, eagle, bobcats, deer, bison, birds of prey and more. The center is off U.S. 60, approximately 1 miles west of the U.S. 127 intersection. Look for the bronze deer statue at the entrance of the main Kentucky Fish and Wildlife campus.
