Located in Coal Miner’s Park in Red Lodge, the Beartooth Nature Center takes in animals that cannot be left alone in nature and nurtures them back to good health. Onsite are mountain lions, bears and many others, with a petting zoo for the kids. It is a great spot to view the surrounding wildlife up close. Open in the summer from 10 a.m.–6 p.m., children $2, adults $4.
