Bearizona Wildlife Park

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.

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 great and unique experience if you’re passing through I-40. I recommend coming once the park opens. You’ll see more animals being active because they’re used to being fed early. How often are you going to have a bear, wolf, deer, or buffalo walk right in front of your car? It’s a little pricey. I went on the weekday so the pricing was $30 a person and kids are $20. The weekend is a couple bucks more. The walking part of the park is small, but the grounds are beautiful.

Bearizona was really fun. Visited in March and had the best time. This was a family trip with our children ranging 22 to 15 and they enjoyed the visit as well. The drive through habitats are incredible, seeing bears, buffalo, wolves and deer. The walking area with other animals like otters, a panther, a petting area with goats, bear cubs that were playing with each other provided great entertainment. Very cool place, if you're in Arizona stop by, you'll be glad you did.

This is 100 percent worth every penny!!!! I'm so glad we stopped here. You will see so many amazing animals very , very close and personal. Staff was amazing and gracious. I can't stress this enough. If you love animals...ie; dangerous, cool animals...Grizzlies, wolves etc PLEASE STOP HERE....you will not regret it. This is one of the best attractions I've ever been to in my life. HANDS DOWN.

What a fantastic day! We bought the VIP experience along with the general admission tickets for the day. It is the best 75 dollars I have spent in a while. Our tour guide Tammy was so much fun, and very knowledgeable as well. We got the go behind the scenes and feed all kinds of animals including a porcupine, otters, and bison. The tour bus is open and while driving through the park you get an up close and personal view that others do not. Everyone (staff) we spoke told were kind and so friendly. I did not want to leave at the end of our day there. As a licensed veterinary technician, the care that these animals receive is next level, and the staff is so knowledgeable and wants the animals and people alike, to have the best experience possible. Can not say enough about how much fun we had as two grown adults...great for the family too, but it is great for all animal lovers.

This was cool! Our expectations were honestly pretty skeptical, but it turned out to be a lot of fun and our kids loved it. We were there first thing and the animals were mostly active. The highlight for us both driving and walking through was, of course, the bears. 🐻 I don't know that we'll need to visit again, but we're really glad we went this time.

Been twice now and both have been fantastic! Lots of fun, lots of cool animals that aren't your typical zoo variety (being as many are AZ or southwest US natives or forest natives) and a lovely place to hang out and buy food! The otter exhibit is amazing, and the jaguars are awesome, but equally awesome are the bears and seeing them up close. it also looks like very humane conditions as well, and I know some of their work is in animals rehab and rescue as well.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Second time visitor! I love coming here, the animals were super interactive during our afternoon drive through time! Some exhibits have disappeared in the last two years since our previous visit but the bears always steal the show!

The animal after party was well planned and executed an excellent experience. Get to see lot of behind scenes before sun completely set. Great flashlight walking tour too see all walking zoo part of the park (day and night)...enjoyed. Just find out this afternoon the souvenir pin form Aminal after party will GLOW in the dark after soak up with light very cool...

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.

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!

I have been here twice. A long time ago (10 years ago) as well as within the last year and I just can't say enough wonderful things. They have continued to build a loving, beautiful place for their animals and family of employees as well as patrons (restaurant and facilities). Nancy in the wolves section of drive-thru was kind and so knowledgeable about their wolves. Brooke and her love of the all the animals in-front and behind-the-scenes is obvious and has a gift of sharing this love with us! Thank you Bearizona! I will try not to wait so long between visits (we are out of state), because 4 years old or 13 years old, my son loved it!

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.

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. Our bus driver, Tammy, was fabulous! She made our day . Super clean park, great staff and we will be back often because they just keep making it better & better!

Melanie at the bar was amazing. What a great experience she made the experience amazing.

Love Bearizona!! It is a great escape from the heat of Phoenix and all the animals seem eager to say hello as you drive through! The last time we drove through we saw a buffalo give birth within 10 feet of our vehicle!! Super cool!

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.

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!

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.

(+) 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

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.

I didn't know what to expect coming here. I heard it was just a drive thru experience and it was but you can also get out and walk around an area where they have enclosures with animals in them also. Like a small zoo. Gift shops and restaurants available. I would definitely take my family again.

Absolutely a must if your in Williams AZ We went early and lots of the animals were out it was such an amazing experience. To see the bears playing in the water, wolves walking up to the car, reindeers out walking around. We drove around twice and it just got better every time We got to see them feed grizzly bears Lots of cool animals in there habitats Restaurant was very clean Bathrooms clean Everyone was very friendly Absolutely worth the price for admission

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!

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.

Our family had a blast at Bearizona. Such a special, cute find on our road trip. Hard to believe all the snow on a spring break visit! The drive through was so amazing - our boys (8, 10, 12) all loved it - there was a bear right next to our car just lounging. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're going through Flagstaff/Williams.

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.

I don't really know how to rate this experience. This was a spur of the moment stop on the way home from a road trip. We still had 3 1/2 hours to go. We saw the sign many times and wanted to have that experience. Seeing the animals was nice but picked up two large screws in my front tire and my back tire. So, after paying $122 for admission, we now have to wait for road service after putting in a claim on line to get tires fixed. No one knows exactly how long it is going to be. And no one mentioned the risk of this happening before entry and only after incident that they are not responsible for any damages to vehicle. I would have been fine if it had been disclosed before hand. So, beware if you decide to visit the park.

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!

Not sure why I thought the animals here would be free to roam but that was the farthest thing from the truth. This is a glorified zoo and the only difference is the animals are not on concrete. Not everyone has the ability to read an animals face but good or not I do... These animals were not happy. Very small areas for them to roam... And why on earth would you put Arctic Wolves in Arizona?? The few that were available to be seen it was clear instead of being able to roam for several miles a day, only had small natural looking areas of maybe a few hundred yards. They should all have at least several hundred acres and allow the folks to drive those acres . Or better yet set them free. And at over $30 per person it had more of an amusement park feeling with the focus being more on the concessions at the end.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great place to visit while in Williams. Staff are very nice and helpful and our kids loved it!

Perfect little stop on the way to the Grand Canyon! Great for families too. There were tons of animals. There is a drive through area & a walk through as well. I'd recommend doing both!

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.

We enjoy animals so I wanted to make sure to visit here when we were going up north for a little getaway. My partner drove so much to and from Bearizona and in Arizona but it was so worth it. I loved seeing all the bears and different animals. It was nice that they had a zoo section where we can get out of our car and walk around. I was also grateful for the veteran discount and kind of glad that I didn't buy the tickets online because I didn't see any veteran discount. 10/10 recommend the place. You can see many bears pretty up close!!

Cool park but overpriced! I only drove through, didn't explore the walking part but $60 for entry is wild! The animals are roaming free within their enclosures, they advised when to roll your windows up. They can definitely use all that money to repave the roads!

Beautiful up close view of the animals. The drive through takes you to many different enclosures, we saw so many bears, wolves and bison! It's a go-to for flagstaff. The drive-through is pet friendly, but you need to have the windows rolled up at all times which is perfectly fine. The walking part of the zoo is NOT pet friendly, understandably so, and be prepared to leave your pet in the vehicle in pet mode (luckily our EV has it). I highly recommend going here

We were curious to see this. The animals looked lethargic and almost in a stupor. The roads had significant potholes but it seemed the animals were even poorly maintained than the roads. The wolves and deer and goats looked mangy. At the end I had a churning stomach since the animals looked so listless and sad. I will never return.

The staff was amazing from the front entrance all the way to the bear exhibit inside the walking area. The bartender at the restaurant inside the gift shop made us feel at home and comfortable with our order of food and drink.

Very cool spot! Worth checking out if in flagstaff area. If I remember correctly it wasn't a cheap ticket, but was worth it.

Can't believe I forgot to review Bearizona. Ca e here over 4th of July weekend and I could not have been any more satisfied. Surprising to me, I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would and I found it very relaxing. Very cool area to drive thru. Buffalo, Deer, Bear, Elk, even Wolves. The wolves were a highlight as they were very active. Once finished driving through this area, you can park and go inside. It's kinda like a zoo. I believe tix were 30$ and more than worth it. Spent close to 3 hours there with my son and grandson. Great place to relax and reload during a road trip. I'll even go back. Well worth it.

Such a cool animal park! We came on a weekday in the off season, so our experience was hugely influenced by the fact that very few people were on site. The first part of the experience is a drive-thru tour which you begin right after entering the park. There you drive slowly through several open habitat areas that include goats, elk, bison, wolves and brown bears! You can do this part as many time as you want within your visit. (There's no in/out, so once you leave the park, that's it!) You then move on to the walking part where you see a "typical" zoo environment with smaller, more common animals such as porcupines, foxes, badgers, and the coolest part were the jaguar and the grizzlies. The grizzlies were tucked away in their cave - which was accessible through a small walk thru cave. Coolest part of the inside part! We did a ye drive thru at the beginning and end of our day and it was so cool to see animals had moved around - we even encountered bears and wolves literally right in the middle of the road!
