We strive to provide the best experience for our guests and animal residents at Bear Den Zoo and Petting Farm. The safety and well-being of our animals always comes first, which is why we monitor the weather closely. If the forecast calls for rain or extremely hot weather, we may need to close the zoo for the day. To avoid disappointment, please call or check our Facebook page for closings.
