I would urge potential visitors to save their money and emotional well being. This place is a sad experience with little educational value. Please do not support this cruelty. more

We brought our 4 children to the park and the kids had a blast feeding the bears and seeing the reptiles. The cages were clean and the bears looked healthy for being locked up in such a small area. more

I didn't know what to expect when I went to the Bear Park but it is a wonderful experience. I got to see bears that I would never have seen else where. They are happy to see you and are even happier to get their treats. I have told a number of people who say that they are going to... more

The kids loved it. The adults loved it. The bears were playful, interactive, interesting and fun to watch. I think the bears enjoyed watching the humans as... more

The Black Forest Bear park is an attraction in the middle of Helen, Georgia. In fact, it's in the parking lot of a strip mall. I'll discuss the good points first. Admission is only $5 per person. You can get a tray of food to feed the bears for only $1. We bought 4, but could have easily blown through... more
