This place is pretty awful. The bears are kept in tight confinement in small concrete cubes, where visitors can feed them apples and bread. They beg for the food like circus animals. When the food is thrown down, they fight eachother over it. This place is NOT worth visiting at all.

Save the Bears
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/10/08
It was horrible. The website is complete lie. There is no park there. If I were you I wouldn't waste your time going there. But if you'd really like to see some bears, go and visit the poor bears cramped into little cubicles with nothing but one tree and a tiny pool of water.

Fight for their life
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/08
This is the most distressing experience i have ever seen in my life. How could any human being sleep at night knowing that this exists!!! I am contacting the news and Department of natural resources. Help me people and do something about this!! It was in tears after visiting. And i am glad i visited so that i can now take these abusers down.

The poor bears are treated like puppets. They are keep in cement boxes pretty much with nothing for entertainment. The bears were so sad and bored they just paced around in the same circles pretty mush the whole time. If you get a chance to go , dont go for entertainment but to speak your opinion about he way the bears are treated!! It was so horribke and sad.

How is this legal?

There was a heat index of 110 degrees last week and these poor animals were outside in their concrete cages. It breaks my heart everytime I drive by this place.

Amazing Bears will delight you!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/15/07
The price was exceptional. We had no expectations when we went in and we were amazed. The variety of bears was huge, the environment was very clean and the staff were friendly. The bears amazed and delighted me and my twin girls. They almost performed for the food we gave them, which you can purchase unbelievably cheap. We had so much fun seeing ...

just cruel
By bmtsti, 09/04/06
i felt bad for the bears and the way they are kept, but what bothered me more was the snakes, the snakes they have there are in horrible condition, very little if any water improper heating and lighting, from what i can tell 75% of the snakes have mite's and gages look like they havent been cleaned in months. i hope this place go's down, these animals need to be saved.
