We balked a little at the fee ($30 for 2 adults) but it really was neat--take your time! You really do get up close, remember to bring the camera! more

Had a great time here with my fiance. It is a touristy, but something that would be GREAT for families. There are dozens of bears (mostly overfed and lazy) that are wandering all over the Bear area. We had one walk right up to the driver's side door, it was a great experience! They also have a small zoo-like area... more

I visited Bear Country Last week. I have been to several drive through safari parks in the past . 1. Plan when you go - we arrived around 9am and all of the animals had just been fed so they were at their eating areas - not the most natural or photographic pose. Trade that off against later in the... more

Bear Country USA was a great surprise. I had read the reviews, and it sounded fine, but a little pricey. I think it was worth the money. We saw many different animals. It was a hot day, so many were in the shade or in their dens. The bears walked out in the road, as did the reindeer. The baby... more

I had great memories of this attraction from when I was a kid, but now, don't think the "driving" part of the park is anything special. Certainly, not worth the price of admission for what most people can see at their local zoo (admittedly, I might be spoiled by Omaha's zoo). HOWEVER, they have a "babyland" area that you walk... more

First off, if you go on line to [-] Here you can buy a discount card on line for $15.50. This will save you a TON if you plan to do a lot of attractions in Rushmore, Hill City and a few other towns. We got $9 off a carload at Bear Country so it was only $27 for five... more

Only drawback, was it was a little spendy. But it was increcible and so fun to see. The Elk were apsolutly beautiful. They walked right by our car, within feet. The walk part was so fun, and seriously you could spend hours just watching the adorible little bears playing. I will post pictures later. It was very fun, Worth the... more

We went to Bear Country on June 8th, 2008. I was very excited to see this as the reviews were wonderful and it looked like fun.This was not the case at all. First of all, the admission price for what you see is a rip off. We paid 15.00 per adult. Our local zoo only charges 12.00 per adult and... more

We did have fun here, but thought it was kinda pricey, and we did not get to see all the animals in the drive thru. Not sure if they werent in there, or if they just didnt want to be seen. The bears were definately the main attraction. They were all around our vehicle. Really cool!! The walk thru part... more
