Ever wonder how Amazon gets your packages to you so quickly? Come see the magic. Tour one of their fulfillment centers and see first-hand how they deliver to you! Join us on a tour of an Amazon facility.
If you are imagining a warehouse filled with handcarts and all the books in one place and apparel in another, picture this: orange robots balancing towers of goods twirling in what looks like a choreographed dance across shiny concrete floors, miles of conveyor belts and ramps carrying inventory across the building, and shipping labels practically flying onto boxes, blown by puffs of air.
Even in person, the scale can be difficult to grasp: the Baltimore center, for example, spans the equivalent of 28 football fields and can hold millions of items on any given day. Despite the cavernous space, the skylit climate is remarkably comfortable, kept at room temperature year-round. Associates pick, pack, and ship Amazon.com customer orders at more than 175 similar facilities worldwide.
On this tour, you'll see each part of the process and learn about some of the roles and benefits available for associates at fulfillment centers.
Safety is paramount, so visitors must wear flat shoes with a closed toe and heel, tie back long hair, and use handrails on stairs. Your guide will run through safety tips at the outset and provide headsets for everyone so the tour is audible above the machinery. Children under 6 are not permitted to enter into facility.

Wolf Sanctuary of PA seeks to provide a lifelong safe-haven for displaced wolves and wolf-dogs. We are devoted to assuring the most comfortable, healthy, and stimulating environments for our wolves and wolf-dogs. Here at Wolf Sanctuary of PA, wolves and wolf-dogs are given back their dignity. We are also dedicated to educating the public on wolf conservation and the preservation of the species. Through education, we seek to dispel the myths that have plagued wolves for centuries, and to instead inspire enthusiasm for this intelligent and misunderstood species. Today, Wolf Sanctuary of PA has a renovated infrastructure, beautifully expanded living and sleeping spaces, and high quality veterinary care. We remain dedicated in our mission to provide a permanent, lifetime, safe sanctuary for those that we rescue, and to provide the highest level of care and enrichment for all of the animals in our care.
The tour starts with an introduction of how the sanctuary was formed, and a wide variety of wolf facts. You will go from one pack to the next, meeting the wolves and wolf-dogs in our care and learning more about wolf conservation and biology. Our guides are available to answer questions throughout the tour.The wolves live outside, so you will be outside too. The tours are not a power walk, but more of a leisurely pace from pack to pack. The trails are natural grass, stones, and dirt (sometimes mud when it’s been raining or snowing). For the most part, your tour takes place on terrain that is flat but not even (kind of like the grassy area in a public park); however, there is a portion of the tour that goes up a steep hill.
