seeing the active and cute little bears is the highlight
there is a drive through road, you can drive your car to view the animals, see the elk,deer, wolf, bear, mountain lion, etc. But some animals would hide in a shadow or inside a hollow log/tunnel, make it difficult to spot and take picture of them. The bear will cross the road, so they can be very close to your car, make sure you close the window when you drive through this part. After the drive through, there is a zoo that you can walk, you can see little bears here, and some other smaller size animals, The little bear is the main attraction, they are active, they run and move a lot, some go to climb trees, some swimming, some fighting, you won't feel bored when you see them, and I took lots of pictures, even video for them, I think the little bear is one of the highlight in this visit. By the way,, the admission fee is not cheap, my younger son is free, but for 2 adults and one kid, it's almost $50, and you may spend 2-3 hours there. There is also a gift shop you can take a look.

So worth it!
This was amazing. It costs around $70 for my family of 5, but we felt it was worth it. Driving through, we were able to see every animal posted up close. The bears were walking around near the cars, playing in the water, and playing. The cubs climbing trees and just playing with each other was priceless! The timber wolf pups were adorable, too. This was a great trip! Thank you!
