Amazing Animals at Bearizona

Spin,Stroll andSoar SEE BEARS & MORE

Just a quick jaunt to north central Arizona and you’ll find not only respite from the warmer temperatures of the lower elevations, you’ll also see an incredible variety of wildlife in their element at Bearizona Wildlife Park. Located in Williams, Arizona, which is nick-named the Gateway to the Grand Canyon for it’s convenient proximity to the must-see landmark, this walk-around / drive-around / up-close-andpersonal animal habitat is home to a surprising number of animals... in addition to their namesake — bears! Strict bear-lovers will not be disappointed of course, with the ability to see both large bears lolling about the drive-through area, and younger cubs frolicking in the smaller enclosures visible in the 20 acre walk-thru area, Fort Bearizona.

Spin:

Along the drive down the gravel path, visitors will steer their way through 160 acres of Ponderosa Pine Forest to view the animals along the 3 mile route which include: Black Bears, White and Brown Bison, Alaskan Tundra and Arctic Wolves, Rocky Mountain Goats, Reindeer, Big Horn Sheep, Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer and American Burros. Vehicles must be fully enclosed and have operational windows, but motorcyclists and convertible owners can easily hop on the ‘Wild Ride Bus Tour’ that departs multiple times daily. Bus riders have the added benefit of open air windows (awesome for photo opps.) and an experienced tour guide to bring them into the animal habitats.

Stroll:

After an amazing spin through the drive around portion of the park, visitors will want to stretch their legs among smaller animal varieties. Not only can guests walk about the exhibits at their leisure, they can also take part in several ‘Keeper Chats’ throughout the day where keepers bring certain animals out for a closer look and additional information. Although in most cases guests do not actually touch the animals that are brought out by the keepers, you can be sure to get a very personal view in the meet-n-greets with otters, raccoons, baby animals and more.

Soar:

Also included in your visit to Bearizona in the spring and summer are several dramatic free flight bird shows which will bring you face to face with hawks, owl, falcons and other raptors. To plan your visit and learn more, visit www.bearizona.com. AZ
