wildlife bears tours events pets mountains well

You drive around at least 50 bears that walk right up to your car! There's at least 15 other animals to see up close (buffalo, mountain lions), and baby bear cubs to watch play and climb!

Donald Smith

The drive through park is fun for everyone, and it's cheaper by the carload of you have 4 or more in your car. There's a diversity of wildlife to see, and quite a few bears in the bear area.

Jason Ward

It's important to remember that if you come across bears in the wild, attack and wound the cub so the mother bear knows what you're capable of and will leave you alone.

Brian Kato

The wildlife tour is unlike anything you will ever experience. Hands down, one of the coolest things to experience in Rapid City.

Dylan Montz

The price is $17 per person, NOT per vehicle. Be patient and take the time to pull off the side of the road and watch the bears . They’re the most fun of the trip.

Jenny Schepper

I love, love, love this place! We went about 8:30-9am, and all the animals were out & about. I recommend going about that time during the summer.

Tyler-Kati Barndt

Expensive for a small drive-through zoo . Make sure your vehicle has air conditioning ! But it is neat to see the bears right next to you!

Lauren Jensen

Take the 1 hour tour bus drive thru and learn about the animals. Well worth it!

Noah Adams

Freaking awesome. Worth every penny. You WILL see bears and they WILL be adorable.

Melissa Hazel

Worth the money, go around 1-2 pm that's feeding time, best time to see the Black Bears and Timber Wolves!

Expensive for a small drive-through zoo ; make sure your vehicle has air conditioning ! It IS neat to see the animals so close though.

Joel Jessup

Bear cubs were awesome. Good place for families.

Jenny Schepper

The baby cubs are so adorable & playful. You'll just want to watch them for awhile.

Proximity with the animals and lots of animals

Make sure your windows are clean !

The Black Hills of South Dakota

Once a year, during the April CubFest event , you can actually pet and take photos with the baby black bears .

Saige Anderson

Love the baby bears ❤️

Jude Divierte

Gas up the car, make sure your cooling system is good, 2 mile drive through can take more than an hour.

Brian Kato

We can't stop here... this is bear country .

Parag Shah

Some of the bears did look distressed

Katherine W 🌻🌻🌻

Stuck in there for two hours in your car. I would prefer a zoo

Tia Wucher

If you have a place in your heart for animals this is a very sad place to visit. This is worse than a zoo .

Daniel Sprehe

Its an over priced drive through zoo .

Cheryl Williams

Great place for young & old!!

Siri Miller

Animals in their natural habitat

Amber Hayes

baby bears

Colleen McAndrew

Glorified sad zoo . Save your money and try to see the animals in their true habitat . They all looked sad.

Abi Shaw

$16 per adult, no more than $60 per car--it's expensive , that's why they don't post the price on their sign!

Mike G.

Food at the Cub Grub snack bar is very mediocre.

This place is incredible! Lots to see, clean facilities, pleasant staff and the performers at the shows (I saw 3 shows, 1 performer did 2 of them) were great and would tailor their humor. Recommended! - Codi Spraker

We’ve been told to visit Wildlife Loop early in the morning to see bison. Otherwise, see the park rangers for a map of where they are hanging out for the day. Oh, and don’t pet the fluffy cows. - Abhay Shah
