Olympic Game Farm Park

One of the top things on our list to do this vacation was to go to Olympic Game Farm Park.  I remember going as a kid and knew that it would be fun and memorable for the boys.

Some cool info about the park is below.  I didn't know they worked for Disney!

Olympic Game Farm worked exclusively for Walt Disney Studios for 28 years, filming here at the farm and on the Olympic Peninsula, as well as on many different set locations.  A few popular titles produced with our past animal actors, are “Charlie the Lonesome Cougar”, “The Incredible Journey”, “White Wilderness” and “Grizzly Adams” television and movie series. In 2012, we had used our black bear “Kitty” and wolf “Brutus” in “Serenity Farms”. In winter of 2013 we used “Kitty” once again in a National Geographic documentary on black bear in the city. Summer of 2014, “Leland” a black tail deer was used in the filming of “Captain Fantastic” as well as Olympic Game Farm used as a filming location for a scene.

After the death of Walt and Roy Disney, Disney Studios began to move away from the nature films that had been so dear to Walt’s heart.   In 1972, with the approval of the Disney Studios for using the Disney name, Olympic Game Farm, Inc. was opened to the public. Our founders Lloyd and Catherine Beebe, retired from the filming industry and focused solely for caring for their animal actors, concentrating on offering “in need” captive bred animals a new and loving home. Olympic Game Farm will continue to accept in-need wildlife, as space permits and with the proper authority approvals. We cannot accept local animals from the wild without proper permission from Washington State Fish and Wildlife.

Lloyd Beebe passed along his trait, his dedication, and his love for wildlife to his grandsons Robert Beebe and James Beebe, who have taken over the daily operations of the Olympic Game Farm since 2008.

We had the best time feeding the animals.  It really is crazy how they just go from car to car and get fed.  They know exactly what to do.  We saw all sorts of animals, many we could feed.  There were two zebras, but they were hiding in the shade.  There were also areas where we could see animals, but not feed them.  We saw a fox, cougars, a lion, a wolf and a few others.  

Great trip and so worth it!  Lots of smiles from everyone!
Enjoying every moment.
