Bearizona Wildlife Park
About
Zoo • Indoor & Outdoor • Admission Required
Williams, AZ — about 35 miles / 35 minutes from Flagstaff A drive-through wildlife park where you cruise three miles of ponderosa pine forest with bison, black bears, wolves, and elk roaming right outside your car windows — no fences, no cages. After the drive, park and wander Fort Bearizona, a walk-through zoo area with otters, jaguars, foxes, and porcupines, plus daily bird-of-prey shows where the birds swoop right over your heads (usually 11:30am and 2:30pm). Kids 3 and under are free, and the whole visit easily fills a half day. A genuinely memorable one for animal-loving families.
