We had a great time, loved the bears! Some of the exhibits had no animals, but over all was a great place.

It was enjoyable to be up close to the animals but wish they were taken care of a little better....maybe more shelters to get out of the heat etc and some more water sources( did see they were adding a water play area for bears which is awesome). It certainly is a unique experience though, especially if you can catch feeding time for the bears.

Really loved that there were so many animals. Did not like the fact that we were in a tour bus and most of the animals were on the right side of the bus. We happened to be on the left so there were many we could not see. They need to be able to view from both sides.

This is a wonderful place to go see some wild animals that you'd probably never see otherwise.

My boyfriend LOVED Bear Country. They had a variety of animals, and they definitely did not lack bears. There were chubby ones, fluffy ones, and even some skinnier ones. I would definitely go back. The staff was so friendly and the animals were so cute. The only thing is I wish they had a two day pass, so I could go back again!!

Excellent place to take your kids to see otherwise dangerous animals without fear of being hurt or killed I would go again!
