Bearizona Hotels: Where to Stay Near the Wildlife Park
June 25, 2025

Bearizona, Up Close
Bearizona Wildlife Park is one of Arizona’s most unexpected treasures. A mix of drive-thru and walk-through habitats lets you get eye-level with black bears, bison, wolves, and more–safely, of course. The Bearizona experience is part safari, part small-town charm, and it’s easy to see why families, road trippers, and animal lovers all make the stop.
How to Visit (and When to Go)
Open year-round, Bearizona is great in any season; however, spring and fall are sweet spots for mild weather and active wildlife. Try to get there early to beat the crowds, especially on weekends. Don’t miss the Birds of Prey show, and carve out time for the jaguar habitat–it’s right near the entrance. Plan for a couple of hours, or settle in and make a full day of it.
Staying Nearby? Here’s Your Spot
Trailborn Williams: Five Minutes from the Park
No long drives. No hassle. Trailborn Grand Canyon puts you less than five minutes from Bearizona’s gates…close enough to sneak in a catnap between the drive-thru loop and the walkthrough section.
Comfort That Doesn’t Skimp on Style
Our spaces are designed for families and friends who want somewhere calm to land. Spacious rooms, cozy beds, kid-friendly bites onsite, and a vibe that’s more thoughtful than your average roadside stay.
Make a Weekend Out of It
While you’re here, you’re also steps from the heart of Route 66, minutes from the Grand Canyon Railway, next to the Canyon Coaster, and surrounded by forests, trails, and starry skies. Bearizona might bring you to Williams, but we bet you’ll want to stick around.
