This was one of our favorite stops on vacation!!! So enjoyable to slowly drive through and see beautiful animals just wandering about. The walkthrough was beautiful and we could’ve spent all day watching the bear cubs play!!! Definitely a must see!!

My family and I loved this so much!! The animals can roam to their hearts content and it’s their territory. It’s a blast and next time we are in the area I’m sure we will visit again!

We like this place, but with traffic the way it is over cub fest, wouldn't it be smarter traffic wise and environmental wise to host shuttle busses through the park instead of 5000 cars idling to get in?

My family always makw it a point to visit Bear Country. We enjoy seeing different animals and the drive through the park. Bears are always fun to watch. In response to some less than positive reviews, I need to add that this is a chance to slow down and enjoy nature and all the different species. This is not a quick drive through, these animals are not at humans beck & call so yes there may be some you don't see. Slow down and enjoy...good reason to get off your cell and see what's out there in the world.
