Expensive but so much fun and more to do than I thought. If you are traveling to Yellowstone and really want to see bears, this is definitely a must stop! There were a ton of bears as well as Elk, Deer, Bison, Goats, and birds. You can see most animals in the drive through section. In the park, they have a petting zoo where you can pet the goats, deer, pigs, and ducks. They also have a spot you can see the baby bears pretty close up and they are really fun! The dinosaur world is really cool and feels like you are walking into Jurassic park. My kids had a blast there. They also have about 6 rides you can go on. My son enjoyed it and was happy he could ride all the rides (have to be at least 36" to ride with an adult on some rides). We went on a weekday and they only had one attendant running the rides so we had to wait around a bit for them to go ride to ride. They also have a fun gift shop with different souvenirs including a build a bear experience. My son really loved the cotton candy machine. Overall, I definitely think it is a place to check out and you could spend all day there if you wanted

This place was okay. The best part was the bear cubs! They were so cute! 😍 It is a very kid friendly place with carnival rides and dinosaurs. The drive through the bear area was okay as well. Couldn't see many cause they were too far away, wish you could have your windows down to take pictures but I understand why you can't. It would have been cool to feed a bear cub but it was kind of pricy at $75 a person. They had some bison and elk before you go into the bear driving area. Overall fun experience but definitely geared more for younger kids.
