I've been to the Black Forest Bear Park several times in the last five years and have had nothing but a good experience each and every time I've been. My kids have enjoyed feeding the bears and alway ask to go back when we are in the area. The bears are very adapt to having people around them and obivously enjoy being fed. As young pups I've seen them eat out of the staff's hands and are very gently. I would recommend this park to all families and their children.
