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.

My husband and I have been on a 48 state tour of the country for our honeymoon. We found Montana Grizzly Encounter on Groupon and we are so glad we did! It was an amazing experience. The bears seem so happy! We really learned a lot by visiting here! We will definitely be suggesting others to this place and eventually we will bring our kids here!
