Drive through three miles of ponderosa pine forest on their drive-thru safari, spotting North American wildlife like bears, bison, and elk roaming in spacious enclosures. After your drive, park and explore Fort Bearizona, a walk-through area where you can see more animals up close and even learn about conservation efforts through educational programs.

But a number of people had told me how much they enjoyed it so when we were in Williams I decided to try it and we really enjoyed it. But go early in the morning before it gets hot as the animals will be more active.
