About this business

This natural habitat for rescued grizzly bears is one of the best places in Montana to watch these regal creatures. Open to the public since 2004, Montana Grizzly Encounter invites you to watch, learn and interact with the grizzlies in a safe environment. Watch as Brutus, Sheena and Bella, the resident bears, bask in the early morning sun, and later visit the gift shop to buy a few souvenirs to remember these grizzlies by.

I loved this place. Great bear knowledge, and great people in charge. I have been there several times, and I will go back again. I suggest taking everyone here, because it's an eye opener about our friends, grizzlies.

I very much enjoyed watching Brutus and Bella earlier this week. I appreciate the work of MGE and fully support their efforts. I know the bears are in good hands. Still let's keep fighting to save other grizzly bears from losing their rightful place in the wild. Trophy hunting is wrong.

The guide,Bill, was very informative and I learned lot about bears. He was willing to answer questions and had some good stories to tell. Bella and Brutus were out and Bella was a ham. She was playing with some bones in the pond throwing the bones up and she would chase after the bones. It is worth the stop. 

Business response:

Happy you enjoyed your visit!! Bella is a ham for sure!!

My son, best friend and myself went for the first time April 1st and had the best time. Jake and Maggie were out and the way these bears are taken care of is so amazing! My son was so excited to see the bears and the goats out front! Thank you so much for the experience! We will be returning. 

Business response:

So glad to hear you enjoyed your visit, we look forward to seeing you again!:)

I loved it. My husband and I went for our anniversary and it was an amazing experience. Little Bella is just adorable to watch play. And Brutus what a ham he is. I also love how you can tell that Casey cares for his bears and tells personal stories about them and it isn't a written script being told over and over.

I learned a ton about all types of bears and had the chance to talk to one of the owners of the place and they have such a good connection with the bears. Totally worth going to!
