Wild Wonderland at Bearizona

WILD WONDERLAND AT BEARIZONA

Get in the spirit of the Christmas season and enjoy the magic of Bearizona at night during Wild Wonderland.

This family friendly event allows visitors to enter the park after normal operating hours and takes place in the Fort Bearizona walk through portion of the park only, the drive through portion of the park is closed. Guests will enjoy the lights and sounds of the season while strolling through the beautifully lit ponderosa pine trees with 2,000+ lights that are synchronized to traditional Christmas music. The festive light presentation occurs every half hour and gets lots of oohs and ahhs from young and old alike.

Mrs. Claus makes a special visit each night for Storytime at 6:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m. in the Gift Shop. After Storytime, kids of all ages can take a photo with Mrs. Claus. Several of the park’s critters will stay up late to enjoy the cooler nights and will even get the chance to open their Christmas presents early!

Bearizona’s program animals are eager to participate in the season’s festivities as well, and will be out for all to meet from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. in the Gift Shop. Guests can purchase delicious Christmas goodies, and warm themselves up with seasonal beverages at the snack bar. Guests often opt to stay warm by the outdoor fire pit and purchase s’mores to roast and toast to their delight.

Admission to this event is a separate charge from regular park admission and is $20 for anyone 4 years of age and older. You can purchase tickets for Wild Wonderland at www.bearizona.com.
