Bearizona invites guests to drive through the Arizona desert to see North American wildlife, from majestic bison to bighorn sheep and stealthy wolves to the funny black bear. After the drive, visitors arrive at Fort Arizona, a passage area where cubs and smaller animals live. There are plenty of things to do at the fort, including watching the Birds and Prey Show or learning about the animals during a chat with a keeper. There is also a free open-air bus that takes passengers through part of the park with a guide and unobstructed views.
Take the three-mile drive to see these otherwise elusive North American animals. Don’t feel like driving? Take a free open-air bus tour of the park.
Walk the winding trails of Fort Arizona to enjoy the antics of the other animals on display. Enjoy a variety of dining options, from concession stands, quick and easy meals and tasty treats to the newly opened Canyonlands Restaurant at Bearizona. Don’t miss the 12,000-square-foot gift shop.
Fort Beartizona is also home to some amazing animal shows. Feel the breeze at the Birds of Prey show as they fly right overhead (March-December). Animal encounter programs vary by season, but there are several different shows and chats with keepers daily.
