I love zoos and this one did not disappoint. It’s a small sanctuary where the animals can live out the rest of their lives in a safe environment. The zoo was very clean and informative. The front office lady was also very sweet.

An inexpensive adventure to take in few bears, birds, and a variety of other mountain type animals. Was a bit of a warm day and the animals weren't that active. Recommend going in the morning. Heard some of these animals were recovering. Would have been great to read some background on them. My 2 year old spent half his time playing on the playground equipment 1/2 way through the enclosure. Had a nice souvenir shop. Very nice employees throughout the zoo 👌

Amazing little zoo!! Didn't expect a whole lot going in and boy was I wrong. This intimate little zoo allowed us to see these animals way closer than expected! Went on a weekday, so it wasn't very busy. All of the exhibits were great, but the bear exhibits truly stood out. I have never been able to get that close to a bear before. It was truly magnificent. The thing that puts this zoo ahead of all others I have been to is how closely all of the animals can be viewed. Also my first time seeing a snow leopard. Definitely recommend!

Great for the kiddos. Gonna be honest this place was better than I expected. Grounds are in good repair, and enclosures are good quality. I counted 7 bears (3 grizzlies, 3brown bears, 1 black bear). Lots of other local wildlife, all basically rescue animals. And they have a great little playground with a climbing wall and a couple springy riding things. My kids are 3 and 5, and it was perfect. Would probably be good for somewhat older kids too. I mean you can stand a foot away from the bears. Decent. Ample parking is just past the zoo, and you walk back over a footbridge. Especially if your kids are still a little small to ski, this is nice to have.
