Bear Country USA
Nature
Drive-through wildlife park featuring native North American animals — supports zoology, wildlife behavior, and conservation education.
What families say
Families drive through most of the park and consistently rave about seeing tons of bears up close (plus elk, wolves, bison, and reindeer), with midday visits reportedly bringing lots of active animal sightings, including playful baby bears. There's a walk-around critters area and snack shack/gift shop for a break from the car, and reviewers call the grounds clean and uncrowded—just know the admission price runs a bit high, though most felt it was worth it.
