The cubs are downright adorable and you can get closer to them than ever with the park’s bottle-feeding experience. This is one of the park’s most popular activities and for good reason. It’s simply a once-in-a-lifetime event that everybody can enjoy.

Bottle-feeding takes place at the park daily at 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. During the experience, children (ages 5+) and adults can go behind the scenes with the keeper staff and receive a personal tour before bottle-feeding the baby bear cubs.

This is such an amazing experience and it’s one that you won’t soon forget. The experience costs $55 per person, not including park admissions. Reserving your space online beforehand is highly encouraged, as space usually sells out.
