Discover more about Bearizona Wildlife Park

Bearizona Wildlife Park, located in Williams, Arizona, offers a unique and immersive wildlife experience. Founded in 2010, the 160-acre park features a drive-thru safari where visitors can observe North American animals in their natural habitats from the comfort of their own vehicles. The adventure begins with a three-mile drive through Ponderosa Pine Forest, where you'll encounter animals such as bison, black bears, arctic wolves, rocky mountain goats, and more. The animals roam freely within their enclosures, often coming right up to the cars. For safety, visitors must remain in their vehicles with windows closed in certain areas. After the drive-thru portion, visitors can explore Fort Bearizona, a 20-acre walk-thru area that resembles a traditional zoo. Here, you'll find exhibits featuring smaller animals like jaguars, otters, bear cubs, and various bird species. Fort Bearizona also offers dining options, including the Canyonlands Restaurant, a themed restaurant with views of the jaguar exhibit. Visitors can also enjoy interactive keeper chats and bird of prey shows. Bearizona is dedicated to conservation and provides a home for rescued animals that cannot be released back into the wild. The park also participates in conservation programs, such as providing a habitat for recovering populations of northern leopard frogs.
