I enjoyed coming here. I wish the bears were not on concrete slabs but for some reason they just are. The animals all look well fed and taken care of regardless of the habitat. I do wish we could have gotten much closer that just having to look down constantly at them. But they were so awesome, and some of the bigger bears actually kept their mouth Imogen to catch the food!

This is so heartbreaking, not to mention archaic. How anyone can look at a bear confined to a pit for their entire lives and not be heartbroken is beyond my comprehension. Shut your roadside dump down and release these innocent animals to a sanctuary. And people do better by your children, don’t teach them this is how you treat God’s creatures. They were created to flourish in their own way, not dumped in a pit to stare out of forever. It’s so unbelievably evil and cruel.

From the photos I have viewed: I would never visit this outdated \attraction\. Being responsible for these animals means being charged with providing them proper food, shelter and enrichment. As it is, they appear to mean nothing more than money-generating tools. Buy a photo of a baby bear, and remember that the baby grows up as a disposable prop. Cheers

This is a hard place to review. It's cool to be able to see and feed the bears and little goats. At the same time it is very sad to see the Bears in those pens. It's not like a Zoo where the bears have trees and earth as their pen. It is just concrete. The price is very reasonable but just know you are going to see bears and goats. That's all

I know the place catches some heat and I understand why people are upset. With that being said the staff is super nice, the place is super clean and the bears look great. we can all agree the best for the bears is in the wild but unfortunately that is just not possible for whatever reason. weather it be because humans fed them, took away their habitats, injuries or they were born in captivity. So being able to see and learn about them up close is made possible by this place.
