Don't believe the brochures & what you see on TV. It is not a zoo. What you see is largely dependent on local knowledge, time of day, season & no small amount of luck.

It will be by chance. Since the grizzly bears are out mostly at night and during dawn and dusk, early morning and just before dark are the best times and again, only if you are lucky.
Wolves are elusive creatures. Here in northern MN, we have LOTS of wolves and have had them for years. We have 470 wolf packs and 2,400 wolves. Yet, most visitors to the area never see a wolf and you are indeed lucky if you do. I've seen several, but I used to work in the woods a lot.
Contrast this to less than 100 wolves in Yellowstone in 10 packs. And I would guess most visitors are just driving the main roads, so the chances of seeing wolves is even less.
