Bear Country USA is home to 20 species of North American mammals which live in large natural exhibits. While captive born, every effort is made to imitate a wild environment for our animal residents. Larger species roam freely throughout 250 acres of the drive-thru park. Smaller animals, as well as those younger than one year, are exhibited in the Babyland area. Visitors can observe these animals while strolling on foot.
"I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Bear Country. We were spending 2 days in Rapid City and just happen to spot Bear Country when we were heading out to Mount Rusmore -- your park was the highlight of our entire trip. We saw more wild animals in a natural habitat environment in Bear Country than any other place we visited -- just wanted to say thank you and we plan to come back. Russ & Anne Pendred"
