Bearizona one of out favorite places to visit. You can drive through a path way and see all the wild life. Windows must remain up. After you can park and walk around the wild life zoo. We went in December and it was cold. Something to keep in mind. They have souvenir shops and café/ restaurants. This is the perfect activity for families and all ages.

This place is amazing. First you drive through & there are some sections you can have your windows down for better picture taking. Other areas you need to keep them up. They put food out in most of the areas to get the animals closer to the road so you get to see them. But sometimes they might be hiding or laying down sleeping. We had that at first with the Artic Wolves. But then something happened & a pack of 3 came loping into the area, where we could photo them. Absolutely beautiful. Jaguars are amazing & beautiful. After driving through there's like a walk through zoo area. WOW, we were impressed with this place. It's amazing & we'll worth the trip & money to see all the animals.

This is worth every penny. It's a bit pricy at $30 per person until you're alive what you get. A self guided driving tour, then a walking zoo, and Moore! The animals are well maintained and the park itself is a sight! I would recommend 10 out 10 every time.

Very impressed with Bearizona in Williams AZ. Had heard good things from friends who had been but was even more impressed after being there! Most impressed with variety of animals and with the enclosures. In the drive through section, you get a close up look at black bears and Arctic wolves roaming freely throughout their habitat but feel very safe inside your vehicle. And the grizzly bears along the walking trail were very active and the story of their rescue was great to learn about.

I've lived in AZ since '89 and never got to Bearazona. Had heard about it some. Decided to drive up north to take my special needs adult daughter. Didn't know what to expect. WE HAD THE BEST TIME! I highly recommend the trip! It was such a relaxed beautiful setting and we were able to see tons of wonderful animals. Very easy to navigate a wheelchair too. We have fantastc memories of the zoo and will definitely go back!!

Lots of animals to see in the drive & walk through portions. Pets are allowed in your vehicle if you keep your windows up the whole drive, but not in the walk through parts. The whole place is really clean and pretty. Most animals were resting in the drive through, but the wolves came pretty close to us. The inside exhibits had animals that were doing more which was cool. It's so close to the main road and not a huge detour if you are headed somewhere. Really worth the stop, especially if you have time to do the walk through.

This was a wonderful experience! We drove through 3 miles of natural forested environments to see black bears, reindeer, Alaskan Tundra wolves & Arctic wolves, bison, and rocky mountain sheep. Then, we walked through a large fort to see more incredible animals in beautifully designed natural habitats. Highly recommend Bearizona!

Absolutely amazing park! Being able to see the animals from your car is an experience I will always cherish. The staff was amazing, the animals all looked healthy and happy! The park is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean! I loved everything about Bearizona especially the huge bear that walked right up to our car. This is an awesome place to bring the family or even see by yourself.

This was on my list of things to experience in AZ. The Park is located in the plush forests between Flagstaff and Williams is a safari park like no other! We paid when we pulled in $35 (per person). It's a great deal especially with the gracious opportunity to go thru the drive several times. A pamphlet of the tour is provided. We opted for the drive version, as we had our small dogs in the car. They do tag your vehicle with a special sticker for this. *Pets are NOT allowed in the walk thru version of the park*. We saw so much during our visit. Long horn sheep, a donkey, deer ( of many species), wolves, elk, bison and of course the bears! One was even bathing in a big bucket, he was such a show off! LOL The additional walk thru excursion; they do have a restaurant inside, local bands playing on stage (check their website for details ) and explore the huge gift shop. There's a petting zoo, plus-raccoons, bobcats, jaguars and many more animals to explore. You'll even get to feed the bears and otters too! Keep in mind ALL of this is an additional expense. An amazing experience overall and such a cool adventure to be that "up close and personal" to wildlife. It was well worth the trip and a memorable time.

Bearizona is a must see when visiting Williams AZ. Route 66. Bearizona reminds me of days of old " with places like furniture village" Google it" you pay to go in and walk around, they have many live animal exhibit, like Panthers, leopards, grizzly bears, raccoons, badgers.... And on and on. They have a neat souvenir shop as well. "Stay far away from the restaurant, it's overpriced, and disgusting. See my review." After walking the grounds you hop in your car and drive through the park. "You cannot step out of the vehicle!" There are wolves and bears roaming around free!! So cool!! I got to see 2 black bears going at it!! I saw a bear in a tree, Elks, and a wolf was licking our car tire! lol! You can drive through the zoo as many times as you like as well. This zoo is a place to bring your camera for sure.

This animal park is located in Williams AZ which is about 45 minutes away from the Grand Canyon. You pay at the gate for entrance and can either go straight to the walking part of the park or you can pull in to the three and a half mile drive through portion of the park. We drove and right away we were greeted by mountain goats. Every few feet another new animal appeared and we were enchanted by these wild animals just living their best lives while we drove around them! Among the wolves and goats and bears (oh my!) you also get to see a mule, deer and chipmunks. Once you park in the spacious lot you get to go into the walking part and stroll around and see other wild animals like two jaguars, a gaggle of river otters and a wild boar. The food at the restaurant was a bit overpriced and I wasn't impressed with the quality, but that was really the only thing I can complain about! Overall a very fun trip for the family or even by yourself!

Always a great place to take the kids while in Flagstaff. The weather was nice enough that there were plenty of animals to see during the drive thru experience.

We love this place so much we ended up getting an annual pass! The drive-through part is always fun--seeing the bears, buffalo, and tundra wolves never gets old. After that, we like to park and walk around to check out more animals. Definitely download the app to see feeding times--the kids get such a kick out of feeding the otters. The VIP tour is our favorite. We book it ahead of time and it's so worth it. Getting up close with the sloth, handing apples to the buffalo, and seeing the wolves training session is such a cool experience. We have gone on the VIP tour on two separate trips now. Highly recommend! Tip: On our first trip we didn't realize that with a day pass you can't leave and come back later. Visitors can either eat at the restaurant onsite (we eat here at least once each trip, which is pretty good!) or bring snacks like some families do. There are picnic tables near the entrance of the park. They also have a snack stand and coffee cart for refueling.

We had such a great time here. There is a drive thru wildlife park and after you drive thru, you can do a walk through as well. The admission covers both. We got to see a lot of animals like wolves, bears, jaguars, and so many more. My 15 year old son said he enjoyed this more than visiting the Grand Canyon this trip.

Bearizona is a drive through wilderness park and also has a walking area after the drive through. We did the drive through and then strolled through the park area after. It was very cool to see these animals in a protected area while still being able to roam free in a natural habitat, unlike a zoo. The walking area featured gift shops and some smaller animal areas but it was still just as fun. If you're in Williams looking for a fun family place and love animals, I highly recommend coming here!

I'm not sure how anyone could give this place less than five stars based on the sites alone. We did not eat at the restaurant, so cannot comment on that. This has been on my bucket list for years. My kids are grown and on their own but wish I had taken them when they were young. On a recent trip to Williams, I talked my husband into going. What a treat!! I brought my parents back the next week from Phoenix just to see it. It's like nothing I've ever been to. Driving our car around the loop of animals was spectacular! The bears were playful and swimming and climbing trees. The wolves were wrestling like puppies. The bison were massive and regal. Deer and bighorn sheep were crossing the road right in front of our car. The big bears were eating right along side of the road. Never once was I disappointed in not being able to see an animal. Once we got to the walkable part, the excitement was just as good. The jaguars were extremely active and right up against the glass. They were wrestling in their enclosure as well. The foxes were funny, the grizzlies were huge and moving about, and all the animals were just doing their thing. Knowing that each of the animals there has been rescued from an unfortunate situation makes me feel better that they are not just there to be put on display. The care that goes into feeding and managing these animals is really special. We talked to a couple of handlers as well. We were impressed! As an animal lover, I would go back every day if I could.

I absolutely loved this! We made a point to stop here on our drive from Las Vegas to Flagstaff. My husband drove us through because I was a little nervous about it, and wanted to see everything fully (hehe). For everything you see and experience, I thought the price was well worth it, especially since at the end of the drive you can go into the walk-around area. We saw so many amazing things, and everything was out, wandering around, eating. I was in heaven! This is a really cool way to see nature up close in a safe way. Even going into the walking part was cool! We got to pet some goats, we saw grizzly bears up close through some plexiglass while they slept, and some other cute creatures. We came through on a Thursday, holiday, afternoon and there weren't a bunch of cars out there with us and the inside part was very quiet. This was a great experience at a pretty good price. I absolutely recommend making some time for this place if you pass through or stay nearby.

My family and I had such a great experience. From the moment we drove in until we walked out. Prices are reasonable, given how much you get to experience. It was a very unique experience. There's a drive-through and walk-through experience. My favorite drive-through experience was the bison. Being up close was so cool. The walk-through part of the experiment is also very nice because you get to see the animals up closer. There's also an event on the main grass area for families to enjoy. Food and drinks are also available In designated areas around the park. There Is also a restaurant and a gift shop. My kids loved it!

Amazing absolutely amazing and cool. We took the tour and it was great lots of interesting information about the facility and animals, we got to see so many Well taken care of animals. We got to see the training of the wolves to voluntarily take meds etc. it was impressive. You can drive through and/or go inside where you can see animals up close or you can do both it's all in the price of admission. Great animal park for all.

So Fun & Something Different at Bearizona! A lot of our friends recommended visiting Bearizona, and I'm so glad we finally did! We went over Memorial Day weekend--it was packed, but still such a great time. We started with the drive-through safari and were amazed at how close the animals got to our car. It was such a unique and fun experience for the whole family! After that, we did the walk-through portion and were able to see everything pretty quickly. Pro tip: don't miss the area behind the restaurant/gift shop--if you walk through, you'll find even more animals like a jaguar, panther, and elk! The jaguar and panther were cuddling when we were there--absolutely adorable. The drinks at the restaurant's bar were really good, and there were little carts throughout the park with snacks, treats, and drinks. We also brought our own food, which was no problem. The entire park was clean, well-maintained, and made for an easy, fun family outing. Highly recommend Bearizona if you're looking for something different, interactive, and memorable!

My family and I recently went on a small 2 day vacation in Williams where I had the pleasure of attending Bearizona for the first time. We had an absolutely fantastic experience. I'm an animal lover, and I really appreciate the care that Bearizona has taken in providing large habitats and enclosures for all the wonderful animals. The drive-thru section is expansive. And the walking section is very large and all the animals appear to be comfortable and happy. Unlike you may assume from the name, Bearizona is far more than just bears. There are plenty of species of deer, wolves, goats, big cats, aquatic mammals, birds, and reptiles. It's a great place for families and the educational aspect is present if you or your loved ones are looking to learn. The employees, especially those who are doing the shows, are well versed in all the facts of the animals they're showing off. My favorite exhibit by far was the leopard. Fortunately enough, the spotted leopard, named Libre, was sitting right next to the glass of the enclosure! He was absolutely loving the attention he was receiving from attendees. My second favorite exhibit had to be the beautiful White Bison. We also ate at one of their restaurants, the Canyonlands, appropriately themed after the walls and ancient ruins of the Grand Canyon and other marvels around the beautiful desert landscaped of the Southwest. My wife and I had delicious barbecue sandwiches paired with ice cold beers. The food was very reasonably priced and much needed after working up a tremendous hunger, walking around in nature all afternoon. Bearizona was a fantastic place to walk around in the tall pines of Williams Arizona. The vivid greens of the trees and grass surrounding us were a pleasant respite from the brown dirt of the valley. Bearizona holds a certain charm for animal enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those who are happy to be residents of the great state of Arizona. I hope to soon return.

We had seen the billboards for Bearizona about an hour from the south rim of the Grand Canyon a couple years back. Did some research and wanted to check it out next time we're were out that way. So in the middle of March we took part of a day and went, hoping to see a few bears. Wow, I had no idea how cool Bearizona would be! They have a a decent size portion of the property that you drive around. The number of bears and other animals was great! Then you can park and go into the rest of the amazing complex! It's like a privately owned zoo! They have loads of neat animals and more bears to see! They have reasonably priced drinks, food and snacks! They have a 2 story gift shop and restaurant! The staff were all friendly and the animals all looked well taken care of. (All animals at Bearizona have issues that don't allow them to be released back to the wild). They even have Jaguars! It was a great time! This is definitely a place we will visit again. You can easily spend several hours there!

What a great experience! Took our 8 year old son through the drive through and then we walked in the outside area. Never have I ever seen bears so up close. We realized you can drive through more than once if you want to. We got lucky and were there when they were feeding the bears. We ended up at the restaurant and they had good chicken nuggets and fries and a bar if you wanted a drink.

This place is really cool. The zoo part is kinda small but they have animal shows which are fun. The drive thru area is very unique and you get to see a lot of animals up close. The canyonlands (the cave) restaurant even had very good gluten free items. I got the gluten free macaroni and cheese and it was awesome. The person working the counter was super friendly and very knowledgeable about gluten. I would go back again just to eat there. Lol.

If you are in Sedona, it is worth a drive up to Bearizona. The fact you can drive through and see the animals up close is awesome. You can go around as many times as you like, so just keep moving slowly. We had bears cross in front of the car, bison look at us through the side window. The shop and restaurant are great and not priced out of the world, it's nice to know you are supporting a great organization. Well worth your time, my family loved it.

What a unique and exciting experience. I took my 2 month old, 1 year old and 6 year old to the drive through and walk through parts. First off, the military discount and the free admission for younger children is amazing! It made this experience an affordable one for my family of 5. I love that you can get up close and personal with so many types of mammals! An arctic wolf even approached the cars and tried to eat my car's cameras which was such a sight! No part of this trip was scary or too much for any of my children. The walk through portion was larger than I expected! Not too many active animals in their exhibits but it was beautiful outside and the gift shop had so many goodies for the entire family. They even had a stroller you could borrow at the entrance! It ended up coming in handy for us. There are a lot of photo and videos ops so be sure to bring a good camera!

GO! We went to Bearizona with our 3 and 6 year olds on Presidents' Day weekend. The whole family enjoyed it. There was an awesome variety of animals that were active and busy during our visit. All our interactions with the staff were pleasant and friendly, people were kind and helpful. We will do it again. Maybe in the summer next time. But for sure take your kids :)

We were in Williams, AZ for a weekend trip and Bearizona was on our list to check out while in town. It was busy since it was a weekend so we waited a bit to pay our entry fee to begin driving through but it wasn't too bad. The drive through portion was really cool to see the different animals in their habitats. We saw animals we wouldn't usually see and it was so majestic to be close to them. You roll up your windows when you drive through the wolves and bears but you see a lot of them. The animals don't seem to be bothered by the cars and eyes on them. When you park at the end of the drive through area you can enter the park and see more animals in their enclosures, eat at a restaurant inside the park, walk around and stretch your legs, and I think there's a show that we didn't get a chance to see while we were there. It was a really fun experience and I definitely recommend checking it out if you're in Williams.

What a fun park! There are many animals along the drive through the park. There were many bears, sheep, wolves, reindeer, and more! The reindeer came right up to our car. There were so many bears in the bear enclosure. It was amazing to see them up so close. One walked right in front of our car. Then there is a walk through portion of the park that has habitats similar to those you would see at the zoo. This is a really fun park for people of all ages!

Ticket prices are per person in the vehicle. Came here with the family in June 2025. I was worried with the heat that we wouldn't see many animals, but we did! We arrived about 11 AM and drove through. You are allowed to drive through as many times as you choose. We Saw bears, wolves, bison, goats, reindeer. And at the end of the drive-through portion, there is an additional walk-through portion. We really enjoyed this place and it was a great experience. (The walk-through portion of the zoo has some food vendors. Very pricey). We got pressed pennies for a dollar each to commemorate our visit. You can have your windows down for all portions of the zoo aside from the bears and wolves. Definitely recommend stopping here.

If you love wildlife then you will love Bearizona! You start with the drive through zoo and then end it with the walkthrough I had a bear walk out from the woods and right past my truck in the drive thru area! It was an incredible experience. Super cute otters love the attention and will put on a show for the crowd! Bobcats sharpening up their claws. Badgers being feisty as expected! And super cute snow foxes cuddling to stay warm!

An amazing trip! We saw so many cool things, got to help feed the grizzly bears, just overall wonderful. However, "Winter" hours are horrible, it's Arizona, it's HOT in September, why close early at 4 pm??

We thought that this place was pretty cool. I think it's a bit pricey for what you get. The animals looked a bit sad. It's cool to see bears up close I've only seen them this close while visiting Sequoia. The walk through had a lot of exhibits closed. My pup enjoyed the ride. My mom said that the animals looked malnourished. Overall people should visit it at least once especially if you have young kids.

(+) Many friends recommended this place. I honestly thought it would be gimmicky, but no... it was really fun and filled with lots to see and experience! (+) On our way from the Grand Canyon to Vegas, we decided to stop here. The drive through part was a nice adventure. Went at our own pace, not too much traffic. Most animals were resting and sleeping. Some even shared the road with us. There were 2 vehicles in our group so we also Facetimed with the other car for a little bit and got to hear their reactions and share the excitement of what we were all seeing. (+) The biggest surprise was how decently large the zoo area was and walking around exploring that area was a treat. We saw so many different critters. We loved the beaver and the window into it's cave in its habitat. Foxes, donkeys, javelina, and of course the bears. The 3 grizzlies were up and about, play fighting and swimming a lot. The otters were adorable and we were fortunate to arrive during their snack time. I got to feed them tiny fish as they swam around. The kids loved to throw them in the air for the otters to leap up off the rock and catch, diving into the water. (+) Canyonland restaurant was also a nice pit stop to sit down and eat/drink. Near the jaguar enclosure, but no jaguars there at the time (on vacation?). The elk were peaceful and chill. (+) The wildlife show in the central park area was just the right amount of time, information, and animals. The kids loved it and were thrilled to be able to ask the trainer a few questions after the show. One thing to mention, the parking lot may need more signs or bigger ones to guide you toward the exit. Also, took a wrong turn even after exiting the park and we almost went down the Mountain Man Trail. First sign it was the wrong way was the road turning into a gravel path. Please note, I wasn't driving or navigating lol

Fun way to see some animals! The drive-thru aspect is pretty unique, and the kids loved taking pictures (like real-life Pokémon Snap)! When we came, the lines were pretty long, so it took us awhile to even get to the payment window. We bought tickets in advance online, but still had to wait in line with everyone else. The drive through zoo was wide open in the beginning, and we got to see the wolves right at feeding time, which was pretty cool. But towards the end, right around the bison section, all the cars got stacked up, and the last 1/3 took forever. Turns out, everyone has to be directed to a parking spot, so there gets to be quite the traffic jam. But once you park, you can enter the walk-thru zoo, which houses about 15 or so types of animals. We probably spent 30 minutes in the walk-thru zoo, and my favorite part was the jaguar. This is probably a one-time attraction, but a must do if you're in the area! (Tip - you can go through the drive-thru as many times as you'd like as long as you don't exit the property. So if you didn't see an animal the first time around, you can go back.)

I highly recommend visiting this place with the family. This was our kiddos favorite part of our vacation. This is a half drive thru and half walk thru zoo. It was cool driving in our car and seeing the animals! You can go through the drive thru as many times as you would like... there is a decent amount of space for the animals. You have to keep your windows up when going through the wolves and bears area. They charge per person not per car, but it definitely a cool experience to remember!

Starters make sure you realize that this is an expensive thing to do. It was $72.28 for my daughter and I to drive through. You stay in your vehicle through the different enclosures. Cute animals. Then you could park in the parking lot and walk in and see the smaller zoo with the smaller animals. But a lot of it is under construction.

Great little activity, lots of fun. We went first thing in the morning and had a much better experience than when we swing by again later in the day (after the rest of the zoo). Wloves were especially exciting.

This place was awesome and the kids loved it (ages 8-13). We stayed here longer than I had planned, it actually derailed hitting up the Petrified Forest afterwards. The drive-through safari part had the kids very excited and taking photos all over the place. I think that was a little over an hour for us. Then we parked, ate lunch (eh, food wasn't great but they did have beer and mixed drinks available), walked the zoo (saw some young bears playing and a lot more), and hit up the gift shop. I wish we'd eaten at the restaurant at the end versus the stand by the bathroom...I know for next time. The place was great and the kids had such a good time. I highly recommend it.

Such a great family experience! We did the VIP tour and loved it! All of the handlers were so friendly, answered questions, gave great information and were fabulous with the animals.

We love Bearizona so much that we came for the day and left with an annual pass. There is so much fun for every age and such a great experience. Perfect for a day trip and making core memories. We have been to Bearizona three time now and we are still amazed and enjoy new things every time we go. We love everything about Bearizona and highly recommend it.

Bearizona is awesome! Definitely recommend a visit here. We have been here multiple times, and each time is such a fun, cool, new experience. It's an easy day trip idea from the Valley and a great way to beat the heat in the summer. The drive-through portion is worth the trip alone. We have had bear, wolves, buffalo, and reindeer all be within a few feet of our car! It's so cool! You can go through it as fast or as slow as you want, so there is no need to feel pressured by a line of cars. On the right day, the animals are very active and moving around. The walking portion is fun as well! Multiple habitats to observe. A petting zoo enclosure. Shows throughout the day. Live music/entertainment. Would highly recommend the otter feeding event where you can feed the otters. It's so much fun! There is a snack shop and restaurant, along with multiple food vendors and drink stands (yes, including adult drinks to walk around with). A large gift shop as well! Don't forget about the elk and jaguar habitats - you have to go through the gift shop to see them. Bearizona is definitely worth it! We will be back!

Bearizona was one of our first stops of our coast to coast road trip. We arrived at about 3 PM. They are a drive through type zoo where you can see various animals. The stars of this place are the bears. If bears aren't your favorite animal, you can also see donkeys, bison, deer and other animals. After the drive through portion is over, you can park and go over to their gifts shops, restaurant, or walk through zoo. The Jaguar was my favorite in the walk through area. It's a great place to visit.

I was really skeptical about this place because I'm scared of a lot of animals, but my daughter dragged me into it and it was actually really cute. We went through two times and did the walk-thru too.

Bearizona was a cool experience but FAR too expensive. We paid $199 to get 4 adults and 2 children inside. The first part you drive, unable to stop or get out. The second part you walk, like a normal zoo. About a 2 hour excursion but it's a 1 time thing- like I wouldn't go do it again.

Ideal for whole family to spend a day together. Recommend coming earlier to avoid traffic. They let kids seating in front of the car so they can see all the fun. Entrance fee on the weekend is 35$ per person i think it's a little too much. Drive thru is super fun and you can roll down your windows in specific area. When comes to wolf's and bears they you need to close down your windows. Bears are super cute hanging from the trees. Raindeers, wolves, donkey, goat.... everything is amazing. After the drive thru we went to the part where you can walk through. Super fun, you can see porcupine, bears, chicken, goats... Pine tree forest is amazing environment just to walking there. So family's friendly with lots of amenities: coffee, ice cream, hot cocoa. At the middle of your walk there is a super cool restaurant- cave like enterior.

So this place has two parts. One is the part where you drive through to see the dangerous animals and wolves and such. You are not allowed to get out or roll down your windows- they do yell at you from the speakers if you do it you still get close and get cool pictures though. The second part is a zoo and gift shop area. Super fun! I'd go back.

I really liked this place. The drive thru part is the key. you see a number of animals in their space. you have to wait for them and let them be. but it's really great. waiting for bears and rain deer to cross the road is a unique thing. loved it. the walking part was just ok today. it snowed, which was neat. but this was done waiting for our room. this is a 4 1/2 place. so it pains me to 4 it. but it's really expensive and there are so many unsupervised stupid people. it should be a 5.
