The Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort reopens for the season on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources operates the Salato Wildlife Center as part of its mission to inform and educate the public about the state's native wildlife as well as hunting and fishing opportunities. The facility provides indoor and outdoor viewing opportunities for a variety of wildlife, including a bear, eagle, bobcats, deer, bison, birds of prey and more.

The Salato Wildlife Education Center is located at 1 Sportsman's Lane, Frankfort, KY, off U.S. 60, approximately 1.5 miles west of the U.S. 127 intersection in Frankfort. Look for the bronze deer statue at the entrance of the main Kentucky Fish and Wildlife campus.
