Rexburg, Idaho’s Yellowstone Bear World opens for their 2018 season
soon and you’ll definitely want to plan a day trip to see it. This place
is by far one of the most unique attractions in the Gem State. The
drive-thru wildlife park provides an experience that you’ll never
forget, no matter how old or young you are. You’re sure to be thrilled
by the sight of dozens of free-roaming bears (along with other animals).
You simply don’t see parks like this very often, and it’s located right
here in Idaho. Take a look.
Located just five miles south of
Rexburg is the gem of a park known as Yellowstone Bear World. Drive
your own personal vehicle through this awesome park to see some of the
most beautiful North American wildlife, including plenty of bears!
Yellowstone National Park is
located just a stone's throw away, so many people make a visit to Bear
World on the way. This year they open for their season on April 21st and
they generally don't close until October when the bears go into
hibernation.
Upon entering the park, many
visitors note how happy and friendly the bears seem to be. The park
never obtains their bears from the wild, instead they have all been born
and bred in captivity. Bear World allows the wildlife to roam freely
within large spaces instead of being confined to small cages for their
entire life.
At Bear World, you'll observe
numerous Black Bears and Grizzly Bears. Nothing can compare to seeing
these beautiful creatures up close. It's truly a sight you'll always
remember.
However, Bear World isn't just
home to bears. All sorts of wildlife can be found throughout the park
including Rocky Mountain Elk, Mule Deer, White-Tail Deer, American
Bison, Moose, and more. Driving through the park is like the North
American equivalent to a safari tour.
The park provides a variety of
special experiences that you should definitely check out including
bottle feeding bear cubs, curator tours that get you closer to the bears
than ever, and even a petting zoo.
There's even a variety of
amusement rides that you won't be able to pass up. Rides are included in
admissions costs and are great for children, but adults can definitely
enjoy them too!
Don't forget to stop by the
Three Bears Gift Shop where you can pick from a variety of souvenirs and
even get your hands on some delicious homemade fudge. They offer over
20 flavors of fudge including Idaho Rocky Road and Huckleberry Swirl.

Remember when you were a kid and you were told that it wasn’t nice to stereotype people? So why would you stereotype a state? There are more than a few outrageous rumors floating around about Idaho and the people who live here. We collected nine of the most famous ones so that they can finally be put to rest. These stereotypes are just that—stereotypes. By no means do they reflect our entire state, so maybe think twice when you catch yourself giving into one! 1. All Idahoans are either potato farmers... Indeed, potatoes are one of our state's most important crops when it comes to the agricultural industry. In fact, more than 320,000 acres of land are used to grow potatoes every year. But no, we don't ALL work on potato farms. That would just be ridiculous. 2. ...or rednecks. Sure, Idaho is a red state but that doesn't make everyone who lives here a redneck. You MIGHT come across some Bud Light lovin...
With nearly 130 soakable hot springs (the most soakable hot springs of any state in the country), there are dozens of destinations to visit. However, places like Lava Hot Springs , Goldbug Hot Springs , and Kirkham Hot Springs can draw in quite a crowd. That’s why I love Skillern Hot Springs. This is a lesser-known, almost top-secret spring that is worth visiting. However, you’ll want to put on your hiking shoes because it’s not an easy journey to get here. Skillern Hot Springs is tucked away in the Sawtooth National Forest. Some of the towns closest to this unique destination include Fairfield to the south and Ketchum to the east. You’ll find the trailhead and parking area for this natural spring at Canyon Transfer Camp. To visit this natural spring, plan a full-day adventure. Grab your hiking boots , swimsuit, and lots of water because you’ll have a six-mile journey ahead of you. The main trail splits into upper and lower trails. During the late...
