Bears you will see at the Park are Grizzly Bears, Syrian Grizzly Bears, Black Bears and Cinnamon Bears.
Our Bear Exhibit consists of 14 adult bears housed in enclosures that have swimming pools and climbing trees. Guests will view the bears from a covered walkway approximately ten feet above the bears.

Food trays are available for purchase if you would like to feed the bears. Each tray has apples and bread and the bears will wave and sometimes do tricks for you when you toss them food.
