Best time
Visit the grizzly bear enclosures during early morning or late afternoon hours. Bears tend to rest during hot midday sun, so you'll have much better chances of seeing them active and engaging rather than sleeping in their cave.
Visitor tip
Check feeding times and activity schedules before your visit. According to visitor reviews, bears are most active when it's cooler, and timing your visit around keeper talks or scheduled activities will enhance your experience significantly.
Visitor tip
Make the Grizzly Crossing bear enclosures a must-see highlight during your zoo visit. Multiple visitors strongly recommend this exhibit as a standout attraction, describing the bears as 'exquisite animals' and a 'stunning' part of the park.

We loved seeing the bear. It was so cute!
Absolutely loved seeing the bears on my trip. One of them was asleep up against the glass and it was really cute. If you're visiting this zoo, definitely stop by the bear enclosures!
We love to spend the day here but the zoo lights was amazing 😍
