Bear Country USA is a family-owned and operated animal park in the Black Hills of South Dakota. From the safety of their car, visitors may drive along a 3-mile trail set among towering pine trees and rolling meadows that brings them face-to-face with many of North America’s mammals, including buffalo, black bear, lynx, bobcats, mountain goats, cougars, reindeer, arctic wolves, bighorn sheep, elk, and pronghorns.

There is a walk-through area of the park where visitors can watch the delightful antics of bear cubs. The park has a café, a grill, a picnic area, a large gift shop, and offers free stroller rentals.
