Salato Wildlife Education Center opens for 2024 Season Frankfort, KY -- The Salato Wildlife Education Center reopened its doors for the 2024 season on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Visitors can explore Kentucky's diverse ecosystems and learn all about the commonwealth's wildlife. From interesting indoor exhibits to outdoor animal encounters, Salato promises a memorable experience for the whole family. With more than 40 native animal species, including a black bear, bald eagle, bobcats, elk and more, there's something for everyone to discover. The Salato Wildlife Education Center is located at 1 Sportsman's Ln, Frankfort, KY, about 2 hours from downtown Columbia. Operating hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 8amCT to 3pmCT. Salato is closed on Sundays, Mondays and state holidays. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for youths aged 5 to 17. Children 4 and under receive free admission with an accompanying adult. Admission may be purchased at the door or on the Salato reservations portal up to 31 days in advance. In the final stages of completion is a new immersive indoor exhibit, Healthy Hunting Grounds. The exhibit sheds light on the vital role that hunting plays in the health of Kentucky's ecosystems and the well-being of its people. This exhibit aims not only to inform but also to inspire cultural support for hunting as an essential component of wildlife conservation and human health. The exhibit will open this spring. Visitors will be greeted by a dynamic oak tree staged with light and film to convey leaves as they change color with the seasons," said Jules Foster, manager of the center. "You can go inside a duck hunting blind to hear calls of waterfowl, practice tree stand safety, explore a media table to delve deeper into the subject matter, vote on your favorite painting by staff wildlife artist Rick Hill, and hear inspiring personal stories from the field." Dr. James C. Salato was a Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resources Commissioner representing the 4th Wildlife District for an unprecedented 28 years. He graduated from Western Kentucky University and the University of Louisville School of Medicine. As a medical doctor, he served the residents of Columbia, Kentucky from 1948 until his retirement in 1985. An avid sportsman, he devoted his free time to the interests of sportsmen and women of Kentucky, and to his favorite pursuits of fishing and duck and goose hunting. During his tenure, he never missed a commission meeting. At a reception in 1989, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources announced the naming of the Dr. James C. Salato Wildlife Education Center. The announcement honored Dr. Salato's lifelong devotion and service to the Department and to the people and resources of Kentucky.
