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.
What Our Customers Say
Megan C2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The entire family loved it! Would recommend to everyone visiting Idaho near Rexburg and Idaho Falls. We drove around the park twice to see the bears, but you are able to drive the circuit as many times as you like. We will never forget seeing a bear playing around as he bathed in a pond. So adorable. We liked the petting zoo, the souvenir shop, and we loved the Huckleberry ice cream cones.

Jewels Jackson2025-07-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a fun and memorable experience! We absolutely loved our visit to Bear World! There were so many bears to see, and it was amazing to get that close to them. The younger kids had a blast on the rides, and the Dino Park was one of the best we’ve been to so well done and interactive. The gift shop also had a great selection of souvenirs. This is such a fun place for families, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through the area!
