Bearizona Wildlife Park

What a special experience! I always wish the animals have more space in their habitats, but Bearizona has larger habitats than many other zoos and sanctuaries I've been to. The drive through portions were really lovely. The vehicles often merged into one lane instead of remaining in two per the road, but for the most part it was respectful driving through the wildlife areas. I love than you can drive through again and again and see different animals each time. This was the perfect weekend adventure.

Of course the animals are the main attraction. Being on the otherside of plexiglass from a grizzly bear is impressive. But the staff! They were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to guests. The park is clean, food reasonable, and gift shop fair priced. We made the decision to buy an annual pass because we were so impressed with all there was. We are picky, the only other annual pass we hold is our National Park pass.

If you are in Williams, Arizona, definitely stop here! This place is so cool! The drive-through portion is super fun! We had animals coming right up to the truck! A deer put his head right inside my window! The bears were out and amazing! We saw bison and deer and some smaller animals like otters and raccoons! There’s a really cool restaurant you can eat at that looks like you’re eating inside of a cave! There are several nice gift shops. A few other little drink and food stops along the way. The path is easily walkable. They also do little demonstrations and educational things for kids. Plenty of parking!

This place would be great to visit with family. However, when driving through, some animals come very close to the car, which can feel a little scary. We arrived about 10 minutes before opening and there were already five or six groups ahead of us. Since we went in the morning, it felt less crowded and we were able to enjoy viewing the animals more comfortably from the car.

Definitely recommend!! It can be a little busy so you have to be patient with the drive through. Also remember there's two lanes. Not alot of people use them. But would so recommend!! The walk in part was amazing as well! Would've loved to dine there but didnt have enough time. Check the weather before you go so you can enjoy it to the fullest. It was pretty cold so a hoodie is definitely recommend!!

This place was really fun! The animals were a blast to see, and being able to drive through the park made the whole experience even more unique and exciting. Just be patient — it gets very tourist-packed at times, so you’ll have to navigate slower traffic. The coolest part for me was the walk-through section of the zoo. Getting to see all the beautiful animals up close, plus the fun shows they put on, made it even better. And the price was very affordable! Highly recommend for families and anyone who loves animals.

AWESOME experience! I definitely was skeptical but it was seriously worth the visit. If you want to see the wolves active, they get fed around right at the opening (9am), so come close during that time to do the drive-thru first. The animals definitely look well taken cared of, fat and shiny coats! They also have a fantastic show at 11:30am, it’s really fun to see all these different rescue animals showing off their skills. Don’t miss it!

2 stars – Overpriced tourist trap, not worth it for what you get. As a 30-year resident of Arizona, I recently visited Bearizona with my group (5 adults and 1 child), and the total came to $214.50 after fees—about $38.50 per adult $22 for a kid. That’s a steep price for what turned out to be a slow, 30–35-minute drive-through experience. Yes, there is wildlife (bears, bison, wolves, etc.), but the number and variety didn’t match the high cost. It felt underwhelming compared to the ticket price. For context, you’d get far more value driving a bit farther to the Grand Canyon, where a single vehicle pass is just $35 and good for 7 days of incredible views and exploration. The fake “Western” buildings felt extra tacky and added to the overall tourist-trap vibe. The gift shop was overly commercial, with outrageously priced basic items like hot cocoa. The so-called “trained” animal show was clearly geared toward young kids—just a few birds and a raccoon—which detracted from any sense of it being a serious wildlife park. If the goal is to target tourists and maximize profits, they nailed it. If the goal is to deliver a genuine, high-quality wildlife experience, they missed by a long shot. I’d say a fairer pricing model would be something like $75 per vehicle load, which would better align with the actual value. Bottom line: Skip it. Save your money for better attractions elsewhere—you’ll get much more for your hard-earned dollar. Better yet, if you want to really see a large variety and quantity of animals head down to Phoenix and goto the Phoenix Zoo where an adult pass is $40 and kid pass is $30, or a 1 yr membership for two with unlimited visits is $169 ($135 MIL/LEO/MED) or $389 for 3 adults and 6 kids ($311 MIL/LEO/MED) This was a one-and-done for me.

The most amazing spot in Arizona- just go!!!!!!! You won't regret it!!! Your entry includes the drive through portion and the walking portion. During the drive through, do not be the person that stops their car. Stopping causes traffic, and more importantly if you stop, an animal might decide to stop directly infront of your car and staying put, causing you and everyone behind you to be stuck way longer than you wanted. This is an amazing spot for people of all ages. A million times better than a regular zoo - highly recommend!

Bearizona far exceeded our expectations! The drive-thru portion was a thrilling experience for our 2-year-old; there is something truly magical about seeing bears and wolves from the safety of your own car. We didn't realize just how immersive it would be until we were there. Beyond the drive-thru, the walk-through area features incredible animals like jaguars, sea otters, and porcupines. We also caught the educational program in the afternoon, which was a fantastic, interactive way to learn about the birds and animals. Though it's about an hour's drive from Sedona, it is absolutely worth it for a day trip with kids. Bonus: They have a great indoor restaurant with a solid kids' menu and a fun gift shop

Very unique and pleasant experience- Drive through zoo, walk through zoo, large gift shop, restaurant. Drive through- Very family friendly, we brought our dog, everyone stayed in the car and drove through it twice! We saw wolves, bears, goats and many animals. The walk through portion (pets not allowed) is like a regular zoo. The gift shop and restaurant visit is a must. Clean bathrooms, great place for families. Highly recommended!

During our family trip to the Grand Canyon we stayed in a cute town called Williams. We went in November so it was decorated with Christmas decorations. It was truly magical. On our way home we had to stop at Bearizona. It was a great experience, especially the drive thru zoo, we seen the bears, wolves, reindeer, rams/goats up close & personal! We even seen a black bear taking a bath then it got out & came next to our vehicles, we were amazed, our kiddos loved it! After the drive thru zoo, we were able to park & enter the walk thru zoo. Bearizona was well maintained, even the bathrooms were clean & they had a restaurant/bar next to a huge gift shop which was also clean! Overall our family vacation was a success, thank you Bearizona & Williams for being apart of our family's memories!

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Really fun place to visit if you're in the area. We were staying in Sedona so when I saw this was just under 1.5 hours away, I knew I had to go. We were not able to get the VIP tickets but still had a lot of fun without it. We got to see a lot of animals really close up. They are not bothered by the people driving by in cars. Some of the areas have loops you can drive off from the main road to check out the animals as some areas are huge and aren't always close to the main road. The walking tour is small but fun. The gift shop is huge and has a lot to look at. We got lucky and got to see them doing some training with their raven.

While I am a zoo fanatic, I did not expect to like Bearizona as much as I did. This is a great little gem to see a wide variety of animals. The facilities are so welcoming and nice and the animals are clearly well taken care of. We did the behind the scenes/ VIP tour which I highly recommend as you get to see some of the animal training close up and interact with some of the animals. Definitely a great spot to stop with your family if you're headed to the Grand Canyon.

Absolute wonderful experience! The staff were all incredibly kind. We went in February where there was snow and the hot chocolate and yummy food was super nice. Clean bathrooms, kids friendly, and the animals were so beautiful to see. The gift shop was so much fun and everything spaced out so comfortably. Definitely coming back in the summer! (the lady at the checkout was so so kind)

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.

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!

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!

We lived it. I recommend doing the drive at least twice. The 2nd time around, the animals were out and about, roaming. It was SO COOL.

Bearizona was such a cool experience. We came up to Flagstaff for a few events and decided to hit this last minute. Seeing big wildlife up close while you drive through their habitat is awesome. Obviously you can't control whether the animals are awake, but during our visit they were all up and moving around, and one even started chewing on another car's front push bar. The kids loved it. You can also do the walk-through zoo before or after the drive. Well worth the trip.

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.

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.

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 :)

Yes!!!! Happy Birthday Sean!! Melanie makes the best Irish Coffee EVER!! Thank you so much!! HAPPY 60th Birthday!! THANK YOU!!

love, love, LOVE this place! been here 3 times now, and every time is an absolute pleasure. i love that all the animals' enclosures seem quite large and the animals look well taken care of. the drive-through aspect is so special and when the phoenix weather is gnarly, it's such a beautiful escape from the desert. the shows they do in the main walking zoo area are great and the food and drinks aren't too pricey (for a zoo)! definitely will have to make this an annual trip i think.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

(+) 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

Sean happy birthday ! Bearizona has the best Bloody Mary in AZ ! PS Melanie is amazing!!

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
