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.

This was my second visit and I plan to return again next year. The younger bears are very active and Brutus is very patient with them. I can spend hours here.

Thank God MGE are here to rescue and care for these a... read more
