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.
"My family and I visited back in the late 70s during one of our east to west coast military moves. To this day I still tell the story about the Bison crossing the road.. it was so neat to see the large male Bison stop traffic so all of the herd could cross behind him.. it was so neat and a memory I have treasured to this day!"
