Journey with us to Williams, home to Bearizona Wildlife Park—Arizona’s premier wildlife park. We’ll enjoy a remarkable close-up experience with a wide variety of animals from the comfort of our own Transit vans, winding our way through 160 acres of Ponderosa pine forest.
Along the way, we’ll view bison, black bears, wolves, and more—animals native to North America—living comfortably in spacious, natural environments designed to mirror their habitats.
Later, enjoy a leisurely stroll through Fort Bearizona, a beautiful 20-acre walk-through area offering an up-close experience with playful smaller animals and engaging exhibits.
Lunch is on self, with two very different eateries to choose from. Canyonlands is a 6,000-square-foot themed restaurant featuring soaring canyon walls, a dramatic 25-foot waterfall, and breathtaking views of Bearizona’s jaguar exhibit. The menu includes everything from hickory-smoked BBQ to fresh salads and gourmet burgers.
If you prefer something quicker, Bearizona Grille offers outdoor deck dining with stadium-style favorites like hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, and adult beverages.
This tour is always a total blast and can be enjoyed all summer long—making it a perfect mix of wildlife, fresh mountain air, and relaxed fun.
