About Us

No vacation to the Yellowstone National Park or Grand Teton National Park region is complete without an adventure into the wild at Yellowstone Bear World, a drive-thru wildlife park. During your visit you will be surrounded by the free-roaming wildlife of North America as you drive your personal vehicle through the park.

Wildlife you will see includes Rocky Mountain Elk, Bison, White-tail Deer, Mule Deer, Rocky Mountain Goats, and of course American Black Bear and Grizzly Bear. Remember to visit our petting zoo, enjoy the amusement rides, dine at the Hungry Bear Cafe, and explore the animatronic dinosaurs in Jurassic Creek! Located 5 miles south of Rexburg, Idaho on US HWY 20 we are easily accessible from both Jackson Hole, Wyoming and West Yellowstone, Montana. (see map) When you visit this beautiful region don’t miss Idaho’s #1 wildlife attraction, Yellowstone Bear World.

FAQ’s

Can I drive a trailer or RV through the park?
The roadways through the park are wide enough for a trailer or RV to navigate. However, if you choose you can unhook your trailer in the Trailer Parking section of the parking lot before you drive through.
All pets must be in the cab of the vehicle. If your pet cannot ride in the cab of the vehicle we do offer complimentary kennels during your visit. For the safety of the wildlife on exhibit, No Pets or Service Animals will be allowed in common areas behind the gift shop. Including but not limited to: Bear Cub Exhibit, Amusement Rides, Petting Zoo, or the Jurassic Creek Exhibit.
You may re-enter the drive through portion of the park unlimited times during your visit. The re-entry gate will close at the same time as the admission gate.
We accept all major credit cards and debit cards. (VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover)
Do you accept checks or travelers checks?
We do accept Traveler’s Checks. We do NOT accept personal checks.
We are not affiliated with the national park service; therefore, National Parks Pass and Golden Age Passes are not valid at Yellowstone Bear World.
We feed the animals throughout the day so any time is a good time to visit the park. If your schedule is flexible, the mornings are generally a little better than the afternoons when it is hot.
