Great Places to Take your Grandchildren: Bearizona in Williams, Arizona

While you are in Williams, Arizona for your Grand Canyon expedition there is another wonderful place to visit. Bearizona is a drive-through wildlife park located just south of the intersection of I40 and US Hwy 64 in Williams.

Bearizona recommends that you set aside at least two hours for the complete adventure but we spent over three hours and could have spent more. 

We did the drive-through tour in our own vehicle and it was amazing. The drawback is that it is difficult to take good pictures through

rolled up windows. We recommend that you also take the bus tour. We had an amazing driver/guide who was very knowledgeable and fun (knew the names of the bear by sight). The bus doesn't have glass enclosed windows so you can get better pictures. We were told that they feed the animals from similar buses so the animal move in close to the bus. Our grandson had a wonderful time viewing all of the animal up close. 

A walk around Fort Bearizona gives you a view of some smaller animals and baby bears. There is a petting zoo so the kids can get a hands on experience.  Besides the baby bears you can watch the antics of the river otters. There are great picnic areas and also

snack shop. There are many photo opportunities including a bear character and carved wooden bears.

The bird show is a must see.  It is a free-flight program so the bird fly right over your head. During these shows, you get a close up view of hawks, owls, falcons and other raptors. At the conclusion of every show the handlers will have the birds throughout Fort Bearizona "on the fist" for visitors to get an up-close look and answer any lingering questions they might have. It is worth making a donation just to see the Raven at work taking the donation from your fingers and putting them in the containers.

We highly recommend Bearizona for a fun filled multi-generational vacation experience.
