Yellowstone Bear World

Yellowstone Bear World is a drive-through wildlife park near Rexburg where visitors use their own vehicles to travel through open areas occupied by North American wildlife. The collection includes American black bears, grizzly bears, Rocky Mountain elk, bison, white-tailed and mule deer, and Rocky Mountain goats. The drive-through format allows visitors to observe animals from their vehicles and re-enter the route during the same visit, creating a flexible wildlife-viewing experience rather than a conventional zoo circuit.

Additional experiences extend the visit beyond the drive-through. A walk-through area includes a petting zoo and other attractions, while the Wildlife Excursion provides a keeper-led experience with Rocky Mountain elk, bison, black bears, and grizzly bears. Seasonal bottle-feeding programs offer another close animal encounter. Jurassic Creek adds a separate prehistoric theme with life-size interactive dinosaurs. Yellowstone Bear World suits travelers who want a vehicle-based wildlife experience centered on familiar North American species, with optional hands-on activities and additional attractions for a longer visit.
