Bearizona Wildlife Park

I absolutely love visiting Bearizona. The wildlife have nice large enclosures and are often active and look at peace. You drive through a portion, and there is also a walking zoo portion. Both are fun. The educational shows are really fun to watch. Many of the animals living here are rescues. I would definitely recommend this place to animal lovers.

A bit pricey but I gotta say I think we went at the best time which was late afternoon (as stated on the website). The bears were very active and were very close to the road and eating their meals. There weren't a lot of cars so that was nice while driving around. There was a nice gift shop and the walking area was cool too. I do think it would quickly get expensive for a family. For 2 adults we paid almost $80. I just hope that means the animals are getting quality care!

Wonderful experience! The walk through part is better than the drive through. We happened to time it so the grizzly bears inside were being fed their fruits and veggies. The staff let the crowd throw some food to the bears and then had a talk about them. You can tell the staff really take care of the animals. Definitely drive through a second time and go later in the day. We arrived at 1:30 pm, drove through, did the walk through, gift shop, and then drove through a second time and left at 4:30 pm.

We had a great day here and it was a great value for the cost. You can do the drive around tour as many times as you like while in the park and there are lots of animals to see that way. The enclosures are spacious and well kept. The staff host special guest shows where they teach you about the animals that live in the park. We did the drive through once, had lunch at the Canyonlands restaurant and enjoyed a leisurely walk through. We spent around 3.5 hours here. If you go, take your time and enjoy the company of beautiful wild animals.

This is always a wonderful idea. I haven't been for a few years and the kids haven't been since they were too little to remember, so it was a great option for spring break. We got there in the afternoon in time to see them feeding the grizzly bears, and catch the wild show. Then we did the drive through and they'd just fed the bears so we saw all those fuzzy wuzzies. Definitely a place to visit again and again!

A really fun place for the family to go to and see the wildlife there. You basically have two options, one, you can drive around in your own vehicle through a guided path to see all the animals, or you can do the walking tour to see the other animals in the zoo. Definitely worth coming with the kids. When driving though be careful not to puncture your tires. We found a screw in our tire just after we finished the driving tour, but luckily there was a maintenance crew onsite to help us inflate our tires so we could go to the nearest tire repair shop to get it patched. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. Definitely a place you have to visit if you are in Williams, AZ. ❤️

This was a fun day! Admission tickets pay for the ride through and the walk through; and you can do the walk through and drive through as many times as you want. My family got there at 9 when they opened so animals were active and some were not. So then we did the walk through and had lunch. We did one last ride through and the animals that were not active were now active. It was fun the kids had a blast looking out the car window and running around.

Too expensive for the experience. $130 for my husband, me, and our two grandchildren. The drive-through section was fairly short, and we didn't see that many animals. The walk around section is better with more to see. There is a restaurant on site and plenty of beautiful Pine Trees. The petting zoo was nice. The coolest part was seeing the bears up in the trees- I was amazed at how far up they could climb! There are gift shops as well. We had fun & I liked Beararizona- I just felt it was overpriced.

Unfortunately I have major buyers remorse. This place is so expensive! I asked the cashier if she thought it was worth it and she said of course she was biased. So we paid $150.00 for 4 of us. Our 3 year old was free. For that price I was expecting so much more.I do want to say that the park is beautiful. It is really well done in my opinion as far as atmosphere goes. However, we hardly saw any animals. The drive was so boring to our kids because they could not see anything. We did finally see a couple of bears sleeping and some bison eating hay.We stopped and did the walk through. Same story. All the animals were hiding in their logs, caves, holes, etc. Or just sleeping. We did see the big turkey. But we have wild turkeys roam around our town all of the time...so not a great surprise to see. I know the owners can't make the animals perform or do tricks or whatever but we were just so bummed. I saw all the reviews of how great it was...but we were not so lucky.I will never go back and frankly I think they are charging way too much for the experience we had. We visited the Fort Worth Zoo last week for half the cost and got to see hundreds of animals and had the beat time. Honestly, I would like a refund.

Definitely a nice place to visit with the kids. The drive in portion lives up to expectations; we had many close ups with bears, wolves, and bison. The walk-in exhibits were well maintained, and every animal is easily viewable and active, including getting to see 2 grizzlies wrestling around. The jaguars are very interactive with guests! We will absolutely be returning.

Amazing safari style animal park. Animals are well kept, and they have a big territory to roam around. We drove thru 2 times and got to see more animals than the first time. Take your time, and a lot to see there. There are restaurants, gift shops, clean restrooms, and walk through zoo as well. Definitely recommend it and will return.

Really great experience, I've always wanted to stop here. I came on Thursday, and it was moderately busy, I was surprised it was this busy, its snowing and in the high 30's during my visit, so I'm guessing this place gets crowded. It was $30 per person and I had my dog in the car with us at no extra cost, you have to leave them in the car during the drive thru portion then after you park you can take your fury family member with you. So you drive through the park first....take your time and don't let people behind you rush you... My favorite part was the Bison, I enjoyed all the bears and other wildlife also. Bring your family and little ones here. They will enjoy it.

Bearizona is a really cool and unique wildlife park, and if you are in the area, you should definitely check it out! They have a section of the park that you can drive through which I thought was awesome. My favorite part of the drive was the wolves. We had tape on our front bumper and one of the more mischievous pups came up and tore it off the car! He ran away with the tape and the other wolves were close behind him. We quickly informed a nearby park ranger about the incident. We thought it was hilarious!After the drive, you can park and go into the actual zoo. Every animal they have is a rescue, so some cages have a lot of animals, and some have none. It is cool that they help protect and rehabilitate animals at Bearizona! We had a really good time grabbing a few beers and wandering around the park. It isn’t huge so it doesn’t take too long to get through everything. They also have some shows every day. We watched the bird show which was short but still neat. They brought out a few different birds that either ran around the audience or flew over us. This is a pretty cool wildlife park and the driving portion of it makes it unique. We will certainly be going back in the future!

Absolutely recommend Bearizona, great view of the animals. I also have to add the staff was amazing and super friendly. I have never been to a place that had such a friendly staff. I think the price of the vip was not worth it. But that’s just my opinion. The extras weren’t worth $75. However they still get five stars from me.

An amazing experience, drove through and walked (both are included in the price) and it was fantastic. The animals are well cared for and have large enclosures. The shows are fun and the food is delicious. A must if you're visiting Arizona, come early to feed the river otters (also included in the price).

They had more beer than I thought, but they were all kind of laying down and sleeping. They almost seemed depressed. The Buffalo were most active chasing the little pronghorn deer. It was funny.The wolves were roaming around and actually approached the car in front of us but they were just like so not what a wild wolf would be like. We had dogs in our car and they didn't even acknowledge it.

This place is Amazing! Tons of animals in the drive thru safari part from bears, bison, wolfs, and big horn. The walk in part of the park is like a zoo with better enclosures for the animals than most major zoos I have been to. They have restaurants and bars and even snack and coffee stands in the park. This place is expanding every year. I recommend also visiting the Canyon Coaster and route 66 part of Williams which are all within the general area of Bearizona!

What a wonderful place! My family and I visited after seeing the Grand Canyon and we just had the most wonderful time. We did the wildlife drive 3 times.. all of the animals are so healthy and curious! We saw so much. The gift shop is amazing and the food is great! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had traveling. All of the staff are so nice too!

I was hesitant my concern was would the animals be active and they very much were. The wolves were playing, the Jr cubs were having a time the jaguars were active in interactive . The walk through path was not as exciting I would recommend playing more than just this is your traveling a distance to bearizona to make sure your day feels eventful. The staff is very friendly and the shows on the lawn are so cute. It was chilly but they have food and drinks (adult beverages as well) I haven't had hot apple cider in so long it was refreshing. My kids loved it and so did I. Hopefully my videos I posted are muted if not forgive the language haha.

We did a family trip to Bearizona for my granddaughters 4th birthday. The drive up there was absolutely beautiful and took us back to Christmas 🎄 Bearizona doesn't have any coupons or savings unless you come during the week. Price is a tab bit high on the weekend. So, we made every penny count. We drove around the park multiple times, and we saw more animal activity towards the afternoon. (Make sure to gas up before you get to Bearizona) We walked around to see every single animal (which is not a lot). We looked around through the gift shop, which is big and has lots of cool stuff. We didn't eat at the restaurant that I saw on IG. It does have nice scenery. (Maybe next time.) We left wet since we were having snow ❄️ fights as we walked through the park. Some people were annoyed, but we were having fun. We bought some hot chocolate as we called it quits and drove around one last time. Once you leave the park, you can't reenter. I recommend you try it at least once. This was my second time. Please let me know what you think?
