Worth the time to see. I love bears and this was a safe way for me to see them up close and personal.

Poor bears had very little shad... they need to build something to solve that problem.

It was a great family experience. My 3 year old loved it. The reindeer and bear were the best exhibits. They came up very close to the vehicles. All the other animals kept their distance. Last time I was here (about 19 years ago I remember there being lots of bison that came right up to your window. That would have been amazing to see again. The place was very clean! I wish they had a souvenir penny machine. We try to get them at every place we go for my kids penny books. I'm sure we will be back on our next trip!

Had a wonderful time, got to see lots of animals. I love bears so it was fun to see them up and close. Definitely worth your money to see that many animals in one place. Wish I didn't live so far away, would definitely visit again.

We've been here twice and absolutely love it! They did raise the price but I can see the improvements they've made in the last few years. It's an experience like no other for sure. Our favorite part is the bear cubs at the end. We could watch those adorable cubs all day!!!
