BMI wouldn't consider it a zoo. Lots of walking no real animals

Jane VongvorachotiGiving this a 4 as I believe the staff is so welcoming and nice. What there is to see isn’t so much but cute enough for little ones and makes a great beginner hiking session as there are some rolling hills. You must park in the parking lot and walk over to get there so can be long for little ones. Stroller or wagon recommended. Just those aren’t allowed at the pool fyi. The museum is also small but has small collections to view. We enjoyed the birds the most and seeing the bobcat and porcupine which both were pretty active. I would definitely not make this “the trip” but the lake , carousel,pool and zoo an experience.

Arlene VirgaBear Mountain Park is beautiful, the zoo walk is very hilly and more animals are needed.

Daniel S.Not many, though all native to the area. Unfortunately, the cages are made in such a way, that taking pictures is highly impaired.

ANANDAKRISHNAN NHad a nice experience visiting this place. Unfortunately, the live bear wasn't there because they told us it had passed away, but they mentioned they're planning to bring another one this year. Even so, it was interesting to see and even touch a real stuffed bear skin, which was a unique experience. The staff were incredibly kind, polite, and friendly, making us feel very welcome. Overall, it was a good visit, and I'd love to come back once the new bear arrives.
