The Bear Den Zoo and petting farm has been family owned and operated for over 25 years. What started as a simple love for animals, turned into a dream of conservation, preservation and education. The Bear Den Zoo has amazing exotic animals in addition to traditional farm and native wild life for you and your family to enjoy.




Hwy 164 will be under construction this spring and summer. There will be access to the bear den zoo. Follow detour if necessary.
