Bearizona Wildlife Park

Bearizona Wildlife Park is a 160-acre wildlife destination in Williams built around a drive-through experience in Arizona's ponderosa pine forest. The three-mile route lets visitors view North American wildlife from their own vehicle, with animals such as bison, black bears, wolves, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, and mountain goats moving through spacious natural settings. This open-road format gives the park a distinctly different rhythm from a conventional zoo, with the animals and forest landscape forming the main focus of the visit.

The drive-through leads into Fort Bearizona, a 20-acre walk-through area with winding paths and a more traditional zoo layout. Here, visitors can see animals including grizzly bears, jaguars, river otters, badgers, porcupines, and bobcats, while interpretive signs and animal encounters add educational context. The park also states that more than half of its animals are rescues. Bearizona suits travelers who want a wildlife park experience centered on open habitat viewing, combining the convenience of a vehicle-based safari with opportunities to explore animal exhibits on foot.
