    This place is super cool to bring your kids and your whole family for a fun time. Tu cost for now is $20.00 for the ride in the coaster. The ride is the the mountain. While you are riding you are able to enjoy the beautiful view. They do have restaurant inside and they do have a stow inside in case anyone wants to buy any souvenirs. They also have ice tubing and is $50.00 for now.

    This is such a fun spot! My friends and I were staying in the area, on our way to the Grand Canyon. If you're looking for something slightly adventurous to pass the time, stop by the Canyon Coaster. I will admit, I didn't actually ride the coaster, since I'm not a big thrill seeker, but my friends had a blast (and I enjoyed watching them).

    Up further!

    The kids are taking a spin on the canyon coaster. We got rained out at the one in Purgatory, Colorado, so they are making up for it this summer. Yeah! A thrill and a

    Parking lot track

    We didn't even know this place existed until we were driving by to go to a coffee shop in town. We decided it absolutely warranted a stop on the way back out of town. It was a Monday so no wait, walked right in sign the waiver and got our tickets. The guy is loading us was really cool and gave us directions on how to use the carts. Quick, fun ride!! Hopefully the people in front of you don't hate going fast... because then it ruins your ride (may or may not have experienced that). Definitely would go again!

    This place is so over priced and crowded I wish I would have believed the other reviews before I took my family of 4. Waited 20 minutes to pay for admission. $295 just to snow tube and ride the canyon coaster once. The coaster is fun- we went on a Sunday right at opening and did not have to wait in a line for the coaster. The snow tubing was awful. It was icy and slippery and the employees were rude! We went 2 times. The tubing is so rough and the hills are hard. We waited in line to go up the hill and at the top of the hill you get to wait in another long line. Only 2 lanes open and they were so icy it hurt my backside going down. We planned our whole trip up north around seeing snow... I had to explain to my kids that this wasn't real snow. We were all disappointed with our visit. Hard pass on the snow tubing and not worth it just for a canyon coaster that cost $20 per ride.

    Snow tubing

    A complete joke and waste of time. We drove our kids up to Williams 3+ hours as their site says, "With the help of our 4 state of the art snowmakers, we can guarantee snow covered tubing slopes from mid-November until Easter" Lots of disappointed people walking away which is sad for the small town of Williams.

    Family fun for everyone

    A great little stop on our way to Bearizona. We came for the canyon coaster and everyone loved it. Tip: leave all belongings in the car if you plan on riding the coaster otherwise they make you leave it at the ride entrance somewhat unattended. They do have workers in the area but they are busy with safety checks of riders getting on and off.) We want to come and spend the day here for sledding so that's on our list of things to do next season. They also have a nice-looking eatery and an arcade that we want to try as well.

    Great ride for $20.00. Short lines and the ride is very fast but worth the price. Short ride from Flagstaff.

    The ride is about 5 minutes long.

I would recommend…read morepurchasing tickets online and you also have to purchase a general admission ticket - total was ~$125/person with fees and taxes. Although it was expensive, it was worth it in our opinion. You get to meet a couple animals behind the scene - they are very adorable and you get to interact with them. Our tour guide and bus driver, Damian, was very knowledgeable about the animals. We went on a Sunday morning and our bus only had 20 people or so. The tour was about 1.5 hours and you get a complimentary drink either before or after the tour. The walk through portion is small and it took us about 1.5-2 hours to go through everything, but you could definitely spend more time. There are shows throughout the day. FYI- There are no re-entries once you leave Bearizona. You can go through the drive thru as many times as you want, and this portion allows dogs. However, the walk thru portion does not, so I would either plan to leave your dogs at home, in your car if it is climate controlled, or take turns with family watching the dogs.

Despite the long time away, this is a spot I have recommended so many times over the years to those traveling through AZ, particularly with kids. It was cool to see how the place has updated over time. We arrived shortly after opening and started with the drive thru area. Either they no longer to the guided tour through the radio or the staff forgot to mention it, but we had a fun time regardless looking for the animals in each section. The arctic wolves were the coolest part, they were all howling together, it was almost spooky. The bears themselves were less active than previous visit but it was also warmer weather, being summer. The walk through area seems greatly increased since my last visit! Several enclosures to view, a grassy area with scheduled animal talks/demos, and multiple food/drink options have been added - or at least I was less aware of them before. I grabbed coffee at a truck, they also had various alcoholic drinks for parents and snacks for kids. There's also a beer garden area, several booths with carnival-like food tempting the kids with sugary snacks, and a restaurant in the main lodge building - note that you can dine in the canyon OR they have covered outside patio seating with a view to the big cats enclosure. While we did not eat here, we did interact with several staff who were friendly and helpful about giving directions or answering questions about the animals. There are also several photo opp spots throughout, which is a nice touch. TLDR: Make time to stop here if you're driving through AZ, especially if you have kids - but even adults will enjoy a visit here.

Pro-tip: If you come on your birthday month, it's only $12 for admission which is substantial savings! I booked the expedition tour which included the general admission, Super Mog tour, and a chance to feed a tiger. The Super Mog tour is an hour long ride in an all terrain open-aired truck. You have to be at least 5yo and able to climb up the steps to get into the vehicle. They offer 2 times, 11AM or 2PM. Because it was June, I opted for the 11AM tour bc of the heat. Even though there was no AC, it was fully shaded and we didn't feel too hot. Our tour guide Robby was incredible and gave each of us a small stalk of willow-like leaves to feed the giraffes. We had the option to feed them from our hands or if we're brave, our mouths! We started off on the super mog tour visiting some apex predators like their mountain lion, hyena, grizzly bear and Robby would tell their stories and also do a live feeding. We also drove past their rhino, lions, zebras and much more. Then we got to feed the giraffes as they walked up to our vehicle. It definitely had more of a natural feel vs a zoo. Then we got some snacks, walked around for a little bit to see their smaller mammals (sloth, lemurs, marmoset) and reptiles. Lastly, we attended the tiger splash show. It was as adorable show watching the tigers play with their trainers using various toys, balloons, and meat. After the show, we got to feed a tiger through a special feeding tube and you can also request a picture with the lion. Out of Africa is also know for their popular predator zip lines where you have views of the animals and the Verde Valley. We didn't do this bc my kiddo is still quite young. We got the chance to run into the owner Prayeri who described how many of the animals were raised at a young age or rescued. There is a strong emphasis on the human-animal bond and trust at this park. Love that mission and much love to all the animals!
