Arizona Adventure | "Robbed" by Bears at Bearizona 🐻💕

After a hearty breakfast at Pine Country Restaurant in the charming town of Williams, we headed straight to the most anticipated stop of our trip—Bearizona Wildlife Park! Here’s your ultimate guide! 🚗 Part 1: Drive-Thru | The Heart of the Experience This is absolutely the highlight of the park—an incredibly immersive adventure! 💡 Golden Tip: Go during the morning feeding time! We entered the drive-thru zone around 9:30-10 AM, just as the staff was putting out food. The black bears were at their most active—gathering in groups by the roadside, eating and interacting. It was spectacular! You can get super close to them (through the car window, of course!). 💡 Visit Suggestions: ✔️ You can drive through multiple times—highly recommend looping 2-3 times! ✔️ While you must keep windows closed in the bear and wolf zones for safety, you can roll them down in the herbivore areas. Get up close with reindeer! 🦌 🚶♀️ Part 2: Walking Zone | Stroll, Snack & Shows ‼️ Attention Pet Parents! ‼️ Pets are not allowed in the walking zone (even service dogs like Nuts aren’t permitted). You’ll need to leave your furry friend in the car. If it’s a hot day, please reconsider—never leave pets alone in a stuffy vehicle! 🌡️🚫 Animal Shows & Close Encounters After settling your pup, enjoy the walking area! Right at the entrance, there’s a grassy zone with animal shows (featuring raccoons 🦝 and more)—check the map for timing. There’s also a petting farm where you can gently touch friendly goats—so therapeutic! 🐐❤️ Diverse Wildlife The walking zone is home to many animals in spacious habitats. We saw majestic grizzly bears, cute foxes, jaguars, and more! Fun fact: To see the leopards and jaguars at the very back, you have to walk through the gift shop—such a clever design, right? 😄 📝 Quick Summary: Bearizona is a must-visit when in Williams! It offers a far more engaging experience than traditional zoos. Key takeaways: Go in the morning! Catch feeding time before 10 AM! Drive the loop multiple times! And pet parents—please mind the rules and weather! #LAGetaway #ArizonaTravel #Bearizona #WestCoastRoadTrip #Route66 #WildlifePark #Williams #FamilyFun #AnimalLovers #TravelGuide #PetFriendlyTips #NatureAdventure #ExploreAZ
