This place SUCKS. #1 It's not cheap, but that's OK. #2 Once you're in... You're stuck. #3 Viewing of wildlife is so-so. BY FAR THE BIGGEST PROBLEM... #4 You have to idle your car through the entire park, stop on steep inclines while looking at nothing, all while waiting for some moron to finish looking at whatever cute little animal he/she is enamored with. It's like being in the worst traffic of your life with a bunch of FN idiots that don't know how to drive!!!!!! Honest to God, they should have paid me to go through all o... read more
RecommendedReally enjoyed seeing all the wildlife!
We are very frustrated right now as we sit in the park in a traffic jam and no one around to control it. We understand it's Saturday, July 4 and a very busy day, but it would be nice if you would either limit the amount of vehicles in the park at one time or would control the traffic and make it keep moving. Definitely not worth $60 and hours and hours of our time.
It was very busy, but it was worth it. My kids enjoyed experiencing the animals up close
After days of visiting National Parks and National Monuments we decided to do a day of "tourist traps" and this was our first stop. The whole family enjoyed the drive through section but the baby cubs in the walking part was the favorite. We all thought it was worth the money.
Sick and sad that the mama bears are denied the opportunity to raise their young. Isn't that the way nature intended?
Visited today with my mom. Highly recommend it. Much better than a traditional zoo and the staff was very friendly.
cutest place ever!!! really amazing to see the bears so close and still feel safe :)
