Reviews of Grizzly Bear Interpretive Centre (Zoo)

Jean-Gabriel Farmer

We arrived at the worse time (noon).... waited patiently for 2 hours and finally got to see Boo!

People operating ski lift are careless morons who don't explain how it works and don't give a damn if you fall down and kill yourself

Emmanuel Erba

Fantastic place. Boo is such a diva. Beautiful place.

Nathalie Filiatrault

Awesome!????

Trevor Tessier

Make sure you call and make reservations ahead and you not guaranteed to see bear same visit but they will give you free ticket for second visit if you around

Lovely refuge for Boo the grizzly who was orphaned at 5 months and is now 16 years old. He enjoys a 20 acre plot all to himself and is quite easily viewed. The guides tell his story in an interesting manner and overall it was a lovely experience.

Very informative and employees are wonderful

When we visited the center at Aug 2019 there was only one bear there, but it still well worth visiting. What made it an awesome visit was the wonderful tour where one of the girls explained all about the bears and also about the center. And the bear, called Boo was grazing right behind her all the time. You get to see the bear when you’re in the gondola to the eagles eyes center at the summit.

It's great to see people looking after nature. Boo is asleep inside his house .

If you are looking to get very up close and personal with a grizzly bear and still remain in one piece this is the place for you. The grizzly bear has approximately 20 acres of fenced in living space and has been in captivity since a very early age and accustomed to humans being near buy.

Our experience was amazing!! We opted for the adventure pack that starts at 9:00am and Boo was very close to the fence and that will definitely be the closest we will ever get to a feeding Grizzly Bear! Boo literally husked some corn on the cob right in front of us and gently nibbled off all of the kernels. Afterwards, he ate an entire Yam that was the size of a football. I would recommend this to anyone!

Boo and Nicole (the bear lady) were amazing. Nicole was very informative and friendly. We had Boo in sight for entire duration of our tour. It was a memorable experience. Thanks again for all the knowledge you shared.

(Translated) We are very disappointed. For $ 30 we were allowed to take the chairlift a bit to look at a piece of mountain, but after 45 minutes we didn't see Boo. Very expensive chairlift ride (Original) We zijn erg teleurgesteld. Voor $30 mochten we een stukje met de stoeltjeslift mee om naar een stuk berg te kijken, maar na 45 min geen Boo gezien. Erg duur ritje met de stoeltjeslift

Been twice. Great guides and the Boo is a happy chappy!

A must see for the whole family. Amazing to see the grizzly bear up close.

(Translated) hopefully and you can see the bear (Original) con suerte y puedes ver al oso

I feel like the location of this place needs clarification. It's not at the bottom of the mountain as the marker on the map implies. You have to take a chair lift up to get to the place. If you're looking to go to the restaurant too, you take the chair lift all the way back down and then take the gondola up to the restaurant. Aim for the 10:00 am tour! Any other time and Boo could be napping. Staff said even on hot days he can start napping at 11.

A grizzly bear at reach safe and well taken care of in a natural habitat. Thumbs up to the kicking horse staff!

(Translated) A lot of bears (Original) หมีเยอะมาก

Great information and stories from great interpreters. Held the kids captivated for almost 2 hours before the bear was spotted.

We did the 3pm tour on Aug 12th (Last tour of the day). The guide was great and gave the group interesting information on bears, re: behaviour, habitat, as well as Boo’s background story (the grizzly living on the mountain). The reason for this rating is the price. This is way too expensive for what it is. It costs 35$ per person, and we were 4 adults so total of 140$. We got to see Boo for literally 2 min at the end of the 1h-tour (We did arrive 10 min late but the group did not see Boo for those 10 minutes neither). It is worth noting that they do offer another free tour if you don’t get to see Boo, but frankly, most people going there are probably tourists and don’t have the time to go back there another day. I feel better thinking that they probably have those high rates to help feed and support Boo... Overall, nice explanations, friendly staff, but too expensive. Probably very nice for your kids. Oh, and go on the first or last tour of the day for increased chances of seeing Boo.

Boo the Grizzly has an on mountain natural habitat

(Translated) We take a chairlift to go 7700 ft. altitude to see the grizzly refuge but finally arriving at the top, I thought we could walk on many trails (the hike is super short, barely 10 min.) and that we would see Boo the grizzly but alas it doesn’t never came ... very disappointed with my experience ... and it's still expensive! (Original) Nous prenons un télésiège pour se rendre 7700 pi. altitude pour voir le refuge de grizzly mais finalement en arrivant en haut, je croyais que nous pouvions marcher dans beaucoup de sentiers( la randonnée est super courte, à peine 10 min.) et qu'on apercevrait Boo le grizzly mais hélas il n'est jamais venu... bien déçu de mon expérience... et c'est quand même cher !

Darling bear, and the guides were very engaging and informative.

Boo is a big, but very cute bear. You need to take the gondola up the mountain to see him. The staff was very friendly. Recommended.
