I wish these bears weren't all napping but they looked very well cared for. Lots of cool foxes and birds and other animals. Parking is free and it's only maybe a block away for tickets and entrance. They have a playground if you have kids but it was a bit packed. Looks like the animals are pretty happy here. And on a nice sunny day, I felt fine not even using my sweater.

The bears were very active. It was amazing to see one of the bears swimming and playing in the water. The bald eagle and the owls were some of my favorite. They have a fun playground for kids. You can buy drinks and small snacks. The gift store has t-shirts, big selection of stuffed animals and other neat toys and gifts. I look forward to visiting this little zoo again!!!

It is a great and must visit place specially if you have kids. It can be completed in an hour but you may spend more time depending on your interest. We could see Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, Mountain Leopards, Bald eagles, Bobcats etc.

Loved the visit. Yes the compound is not very large, but if you are an animal lover, you can definitely spend more than 60min here! I really liked that I could get within 2m of these majestic animals. Especially liked the snow leopards!

This Zoo is inexpensive but not a full day of entertainment. We saw mountain native wildlife. The enclosures were recently updated and everything was clean. There was a nice park/play space area at the halfway point and a few light concessions available there. Chips, ice creams and soda/water. The kids spent the majority of their time playing at the park.
