I finally got to visit today, this place is amazing and a must see! God bless this man for rescuing these bears. Don't listen to Amy Spencer, there's always a critic in the group. I read the review before I went, and as a fellow animal rescue volunteer, all I witnessed is a bunch of bears very well taken care of and very happy. In the cub picture area, the minute a cub showed stress she was switched with another that was more than happy to jump up and get some jam. These bears are having a great life and enjoying themselves instead of being euthanized.
We took our sons to see the bears and we all loved seeing them so close! Very nice big and clean areas for the bears to roam and some even posed for a picture. The bathrooms needed attention. I will go visit them again, worth the price. Loved the faces on the trees too!
Fair price to enter. Bear cub photo sessions offered. Different caged bear groups. Owners/operators house in middle of ranch. Food on site prepared in microwave & the hour dogs came from freezer, placed in bun & then microwaved. Ewww!
I was amazed at the beautiful landscape that they have to roam and call home. I had so much fun here!! I thought the prices were fair, and the staff was very friendly. It was so much fun to see the bears walking through the woods, playing in the pond, and feeding them apples!! I also really loved getting our picture with the bear cub and a chance to pet her for minute. She was so sweet and liked her treat on that spoon very much! This stop was a highlight on our vacation. Thank you so much for the opportunity to get up close to these beautiful animals.
THINK ABOUT IT! -----minus 5 stars
Why in the world would making money by taking photos with cubs, be a good idea? How is this "caring for the bears? If indeed this is a sanctuary, the cubs should have very little human contact, prepared to survive in the wild, and set in natural habitat when appropriate. Bears are NOT photo props. Bears are not a means to profit by, regardless of their best interest.
