💬Bring cash or plan to use the free ATM on-site, as the venue is cash-only for all transactions including admission ($6 adults) and photo opportunities ($25 for baby bear photo).
💡The bear feeding experience is the main attraction — visitors can hand-feed bears apples. Some bears will wave back at visitors, making this an interactive highlight worth planning time for.
💡This is a small, budget-friendly zoo perfect for families with young children. Plan for 1-2 hours maximum, making it ideal as a quick activity while visiting the Smoky Mountains region rather than a full-day destination.
