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.
